Vladimir

Vladimir hasn't felt good to play for a while. He's going to receive some buffs so he can't be punished as easily for using his W to dodge. He should also want to go in by using his pool thanks to these changes.

W – Sanguine Pool

• Current Health Cost: 20% ⇒ 15%
• Healing: 15% ⇒ 30% of Pre-Mitigation Damage

Champion Nerfs

Akali

Akali is a high mastery champ who has been edging over the 50% win rate mark. With her having become easier to play throughout the years, Riot wants to target some regular play aspects of her kit that wouldn't play too much of a role in high elo and professional play.

E – Shuriken Flip

• Total Damage: 100/187.5/275/362.5/450 (+85% Total AD) (+120% AP) ⇒ 70/140/210/280/350 (+100% Total AD) (+110% AP)
• (Note: The first hit of Akali's Shuriken Flip deals 30% of the ability's total damage and the second hit deals the remaining 70%.)

Akshan

P – Dirty Fighting

• Damage: 10-165 (levels 1-18) (+60% AP) ⇒ 15/40/80/150 (levels 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-18)

E – Heroic Swing

• Damage per Shot: 25/40/55/70/85 (+17.5% bonus AD) ⇒ 15/30/45/60/75 (+15% total AD)

Ashe

P – Frost Shot

• Damage against Targets with Frost: 120% (+ Critical Strike Chance (Critical Strike Damage)) ⇒ 115% (+ Critical Strike Chance (Critical Strike Damage))

Blitzcrank

Base Stats

• Base Health: 650 ⇒ 600

P – Mana Barrier

• Duration: 4 ⇒ 10 seconds

Master Yi

Q – Alpha Strike

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 75/100/125/150/175 ⇒ 65/90/115/140/165

W – Meditate

• Initial Damage Reduction: 90% ⇒ 70%
• Cooldown: 9 seconds ⇒ 10 seconds

Rek'Sai

Q – Queen's Wrath (Unburrowed)

• Bonus Attack Speed: 45% ⇒ 35%

W – Unburrow (Burrowed)

• Damage: 50/75/100/125/150 (+80% AP) ⇒ 30/55/80/105/130 (+80% AP)

Skarner

Skarner is getting more and more play in the top lane instead of in the jungle, especially in China. Riot is going to make some adjustments to try and get Skarner played more often in the jungle.

Base Stats

• Base Health: 650 ⇒ 610
• Health Growth: 102 ⇒ 105

P – Threads of Vibration

• Quake Magic Damage: 7-10% (based on level) of the target's maximum health ⇒ 5-11% (based on level) of the target's maximum health

Tryndamere

Riot is not happy with the current state of Tryndamere. He's already a boring uninteractive champion thrown into a side lane and with players rushing Ravenous Hydra, that only makes it even worse for his own team and the enemies.

While Riot won't be fixing this issue right now, they will make some changes to his kit to bring down his win rate a bit, which has skyrocketed.

Q-P – Bloodlust

• Bonus Attack Damage: 10/15/20/25/30 ⇒ 5/10/15/20/25

E – Spinning Slash

• Physical Damage: 80/110/140/170/200 (+130% Bonus AD) ⇒ 75/105/135/165/195 (+130% Bonus AD)

Twisted Fate

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 3.3 ⇒ 2.5

Q – Wild Card

• Magic Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+50% bonus AD) (+90% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+50% bonus AD) (+85% AP)

W – Pick A Card

• Mana Cost: 30/40/50/60/70 ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70
• Blue Card Mana Restored: 50/75/100/125/150 ⇒ 70/90/110/130/150
