• Chests tab layout in the store has been redone to better show the Exclusive content each chest contains.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY

• Increased range at which you receive Gold and Experience from minions and jungle camps from 60 to 80.
  “This change mainly affects Conquest, and though the original reduction was intended to encourage aggressive zoning between enemies, it proved to be an added difficulty that did not improve the quality of matchesto the Support role. This change means all players can be further away when a minion or jungle camp dies and still receive Gold and Experience.”
• Increased Gold Bounty cap limit from 500g to 750g.
  “When calculating the amount of Gold a player earns for killing another player, currently there is a hard cap of 500g. We are raising this to 750g to provide a greater benefit to teams that manage to successfully take down an enemy player who is doing very well and is far ahead.”

 
 
MISC

• Event Center
  The Event Center has been added to the home page. In the Event Center, you can find all your bonuses and rewards for various things. Daily Login Bonuses, Special Event Items, bonuses for leveling up your account, and much more! Check out the Event Center to start claiming your rewards.
• Season 2 League Icons have been added.
• Players can once again earn First Win of the Day rewards from League queues.
  Note: Future Gem Storm events will require only a limited number of First Win of the Day’s, such that League will be an option, but not required to play.
• Addressed issue with clients crashing when using Alt-Tab while Fullscreen.

 
 
ITEMS

Achilles’ Spear
Achilles’ Spear has a major downside by increasing the damage you take while its active. This downside gets more terrifying the later the game gets as enemy players get stronger, so we wanted to incentivize using its great strength earlier. Drastically lowering its Cooldown and changing the damage increase to only be triggered by enemy gods makes early game and jungle Achilles’ favorite time to party.

Reduced Cooldown from 90s to 30s.
Now only increases damage taken by 30% from gods only.
 

Bancroft’s Talon
Now updates Basic Attack damage on the HUD as you gain or lose magic power.
 

Talaria Boots
Talaria and Travelers are seeing a nerf to their snowball potential and also to their attractiveness to broader roles. However, these both can still serve as a great tool to come back when you’re behind or to help Supports be more active without losing much.

No longer provides bonus Experience.
 

Traveler’s Shoes
No longer provides bonus Experience.
Reduced Magical Power from +30 to +20.
 
 
BALANCE CHANGES

Ah Puch

Fixed emote VVGG ending abruptly.
Undead Surge: Updated accuracy on surging Corpses targeters.
 

Agni
Fixed an issue where his cooldowns were not showing up on tooltips.
 

Awilix
Initiative (Passive): Fixed issue where the first hit causing her to enter combat does NOT receive the benefit from the increased power.
Fixed Healing and Mana Potions causing her to enter combat.

Moonlight Charge: Fixed from triggering Magi’s Blessing and Spirit Robe passives when ability does NOT knockup.
 

Bakasura
Bakasura’s minions get an adjustment this patch. Their damage has seen a slight reduction to bring his level 5 power spike down some.

Regurgitate: Updated tooltip to show how much damage minions deal.
Reduced damage dealt by minions from 20 to 15 per attack.
 

Bellona
Shield Bash: Now only provides block stacks from hitting gods on initial hit.

Eagle’s Rally: Reduced duration from 6/8/10/12/14s to 6/7/8/9/10s.
 

Cabrakan
There’s no way out! Seriously. Tectonic Rift now appears immediately after Cabrakan stomps his foot, meaning Cabrakan players can lock in their prey much easier. Beware the Destroyer of Mountains!
Tectonic Shift: Walls now appear instantly.
 

Janus
Portal: Fixed exploit getting gods on top of collisions.
 

Sylvanus
Sylvanus can be a potent Support, and excels in teamfights. Losing the ability to knockback and stack up multiple minions with his Basic Attack bombs of doom means his laning phase should be a little less unstoppable.

Sylvanus’ Basic Attacks no longer knockback minions.
 

Zhong Kui

Fixed Basic Attack trails showing green fx from Standard skin.
