Unofficial PBE Patch Notes for 5/27/2014 - Braum, Kha'Zix, LeBlanc Changes, Karthus VU Splash

WIP Post

UPDATE: Patches keep coming, Kha'Zix's Evolved Q is no longer a mystery

IMPORTANT: Never forget those are PBE changes and are subject to change all the time!!!

Karthus VU Splash

Champion Changes

Braum

  • Base damage is now 53.2 (down from 56.2)
  • Winter's Bite [ Q ] - Now deals 60/105/150/195/240 damage (down from 60/110/160/210/260)
  • Stand Behind Me [ W ] - Armor and Magic Resist granted on arrival is now 15 / 17.5 / 20 / 22.5 / 25 (changed from 10/15/20/25/30)
  • Stand Behind Me [ W ] - Additional Armor and Magic Resist granted is now 10 / 11.5 / 13 / 14.5 / 16 % of Braum's bonus Armor/Magic Resist (down from 12/14/16/18/20 %)

Kassadin

  • Base Movement speed is now 340 (down from 350)

Kayle

  • Righteous Fury [ E ] - Now increases the attack range by 400 (up from 350) [Back to Live values]

Kha'Zix

  • Taste Their Fear [ Q ] - Active: Now deals 55/80/105/130/155 damage (down from 70/100/130/160/190)
  • Taste Their Fear [ Q ] - Active's damage now scales by 1.2 bonus AD (down from 1.5 bonus AD)
  • Taste Their Fear [ Q ] - If the target is isolated, the damage is now increased by 20% (down from 45%)
  • Taste Their Fear [ Q ] - Evolved Enlarged Claws: Now increases the damage to 66/96/126/156/186 + 10 for each level (+ 2.4 bonus AD)

Kha'Zix was level 3 when the screenshot was taken, so this is 30 damage. Adding said 30 to the flat 96 (for skill's rank 2) gives us 126 (which you see in the image).
At the same time he had 20 AD from items which gives him almost 49 bonus AD since it's a bit over 2.4 bonus AD. NOTE: The numbers are a bit weirder on Dominion though.

  • Void Spike [ W ] - Now also deals 20% bonus damage to monsters
  • Void Spike [ W ] - Evolved Spike Racks: Now slows enemies for 50% (up from 30%)
  • Void Spike [ W ] - Evolved Spike Racks: Added to the tooltip: "If target is a champion,granting sight of their location to kha'zix for 2 seconds."
  • Void Assault [ R ] - Evolved Active Camouflage: No longer grants Kha'Zix 50% Damage Reduction while stealthed

LeBlanc

  • Distortion [ W ] - Now costs 80/90/100/110/120 Mana (up from 80/85/90/95/100 Mana) [Back to Live values]
  • Mimic [ R ] - Mimicked Sigil of Silence and Ethereal Chains now deal 100/200/300 damage (up from 60/110/160) [Back to Live values]
  • Mimic [ R ] -  Mimicked Sigil of Silence and Ethereal Chains' damage now scales by 0.65*AP (up from 0.5*AP) [Back to Live values]
  • Mimic [ R ] - Mimicked Distortion now deals 150/300/450 damage (up from 90/165/240) [ Back to Live values]
  • Mimic [ R ] - Mimicked Distortion's damage now scales by 0.975*AP (up from 0.75*AP) [Back to Live values]
150

    Also, Morgana mid isn't bad. I have played ~ 50 games with her mid and I can seriously not remember one where I lost the laningphase and only a very few where we lost the game at all. She is incredibly strong imo, just really underrated except for as support.

    Kha is Dead, why can't they kill leblanc too? Really stupid - I expect Rengar will probably be nerfed in this patch as well. Twitch/Kayle sill lane bullies who for some reason are still hypercarries. Lucian needs a lovetap, but real - Twitch, Kayle, Leblanc, Nidalee, and Braum probably need more nerfs - Braum passive is wayyyyy tooooo OP right now.

    At least they could buff his W bonuses from stacking armor.

    Shit, more Braum nerfs. I'm starting to hate Riot.

    I actually think these nerfs are pretty mild considering that Braum's damage never really came from his base damages and his insane ability to tank never really came from his W.

    Did they really buff Leblanc that hard? She was already annoying with her burst but a slight mana cost isn't going to change anything other than make it harder to stay in lane until you get regen items.

    It'd be helpful if the nerf had gone through. It's quite annoying to be at half HP from a couple of her spells in the early levels while she sits at 2/3 mana. Keeps her from getting early first blood and roaming much faster than her opponent. This way she can still be just as powerful if you're careful, instead of being rewarded for poking whenever skills are up.

    Please read more carefully. At the end of each statement it says they are reverted back to the current live values. SO they just changed her back to the way she is currently on patch 4.8.

    what? but they nerfed his damage super hard.
    Or do you mean that because his damage was nerfed and the % damage reduction was removed from his ult, that he now needs to build more damage?

    i meant that his Q evolve now has a 2.4 ad ratio. it is the highest bonus ad ratio in the game and you would be stupid not to use that. if you build tank on kha with his unevolved Q, you wont do anything, but building as much ad as you can is now the optimal strat on kha because he does so much dmg at lvl 6 now. His W now gets him through the jungle because his Q was nerfed, so hes fine on that front, and there is no point to evolving R because you dont get reduction.

    DAMAGE TO ISOLATED TARGET: 101.5 / 145 / 188.5 / 232 / 275.5 (+ 2.175 bonus AD) - and that's for non evolved Q (pre-nerf). LOL. Evolved Q had more dmg in the form of 6% missing health, increasing to a maximum of 8.7% missing health as bonus dmg. Were you saying something?

    I think he's saying the new khaz lvl 18 with evolved Q (of course) will do 439 + 288% bonus AD on isolated targets, and still do a solid 366 + 240% bonus AD when not even isolated...
