Thornmail

Thornmail will now provide health and apply Grievous Wounds to anyone that hits you. The build path will cost more but it’s undoubtedly worth it.

"BUILD PATH :: Cloth Armor + Chain Vest + 1250 gold >>> Bramble Vest + Ruby Crystal + Warden’s Mail + 400 goldTOTAL COST :: 2350 >>> 2900 goldARMOR :: 100 >>> 75[NEW] HEALTH :: 250[UPDATED] UNIQUE PASSIVE – Thorns :: Upon being hit by a basic attack, reflects magic damage equal to 25 + 10% of your bonus Armor, inflicting Grievous Wounds on the attacker for 1 second.[NEW] UNIQUE PASSIVE – Cold Steel :: When hit by basic attacks, cripples source’s attack speed by 15% for 1 second."

Bramble Vest

This new Bramble Vest item will be a key defensive item that also does damage back to attackers as it has Thorns while also proccing Grievous Wounds.

"BUILD PATH :: Cloth Armor + Cloth Armor + 300 goldARMOR :: 35UNIQUE PASSIVE – Thorns :: Upon being hit by a basic attack, reflects 20 magic damage, inflicting Grievous Wounds on the attacker for 1 second."

Ancient Coin Line

Developers finally made a key change to Ancient Coin Line, where now it’ll give Summoners movement speed rather than an early skill point.

"QUEST REWARD :: Favor is upgraded to Emperor’s Favor and ||| you get an elixir that grants a bonus skill point >>> nearby allies gain 8% movement speed when moving toward you"

Randuin’s Omen

Randuin’s Omen now gives more health and is recommended for those going up against bursty champions to do a better job of mitigating damage.

"BUILD PATH :: Ruby Crystal + Ruby Crystal + Warden’s Mail + 1100 gold >>> Giant’s Belt + Warden’s Mail + 900 gold (2900 gold total cost unchanged)HEALTH :: 350 >>> 400"

Serrated Dirk

For those that love to enjoy killing enemies ruthlessly, Serrated Dirk now gives your next ability a bonus to damage after a kill. This not only helps when trying to gank but also when clearing minions to boost your overall CS.

"[NEW] UNIQUE PASSIVE :: Headhunter: After killing an enemy, your next damaging spell will deal 40 bonus physical damage to all enemies it hits (30 second cooldown)[REMOVED] OUT OF COMBAT MOVEMENT SPEED :: No longer grants 20 out of combat movement speed"

Poacher’s Dirk

Just like Serrated Dirk, Poacher’s Dirk also got the exact same changes.

"[NEW] UNIQUE PASSIVE :: Headhunter: After killing an enemy, your next damaging spell will deal 40 bonus physical damage to all enemies it hits (30 second cooldown)[REMOVED] OUT OF COMBAT MOVEMENT SPEED :: No longer grants 20 out of combat movement speed"

Duskblade of Draktharr

The Duskblade of Drakthrarr now has a cooldown reduction and is cheaper. It also packs more of a punch with a nice buff to Lethality.

"BUILD PATH :: Serrated Dirk + B. F.

Youmuu’s Ghostblade

With some buffs to movement speed and Lethality, Youmuu’s Ghostblade should be more balanced now in the grand scheme of things.

Edge of Night

Edge of Night has been changed to instead of having magic resist, now features base health. It also no longer features out of combat movement speed. On the other hand, developers buffed it’s Lethality up to balance things out as the idea here was to boost those champions that are easy to kill and needed more health to survive ganks.

"BUILD PATH :: Serrated Dirk + Pickaxe + Null-Magic Mantle + 675 gold >>> Serrated Dirk + Pickaxe + Ruby Crystal + 725 goldTOTAL COST :: 3100 gold (unchanged)[REMOVED] OUT OF COMBAT MOVEMENT SPEED :: No longer grants 20 out of combat movement speedLETHALITY :: 15 >>> 18ATTACK DAMAGE :: 55 (unchanged)[NEW] HEALTH :: Now grants 250 health[REMOVED] MAGIC RESIST :: No longer grants 35 magic resist"
