Patch 3.5 is about to go live, and we’ve got the details for you listed below. Read on to find out who’s hit the gym along with who’s been carrying a little too hard and exactly what we're gonna do about them.
Karma, the Enlightened One
Karma has been relaunched with updates to her model, her kit and her story. If you would like more information, you can read more here.
Gathering Fire (Passive)
Reduce’s Mantra’s cooldown every time Karma damages an enemy with one of her abilities (Half-effect for Karma’s basic-attacks).
Inner Flame (Q)
Fires a blast of energy that explodes upon enemy contact, dealing magic damage and slowing all enemies in the area.
Mantra Bonus – Soulflare: Deals additional magic damage and leaves a circle of flame at the impact area (or upon reaching maximum range), heavily slowing all enemies inside the circle. After a brief delay the circle erupts, dealing heavy magic damage to all enemies in the area.
Focused Resolve (W)
Links Karma to target enemy champion, revealing them and dealing magic damage over 2 seconds. If the link is not broken, the enemy is rooted.
Mantra Bonus – Renewal: Focused Resolve deals bonus magic damage over time and heals Karma for a percent of her missing health while linked to her target.
Inspire (E)
Target ally gains a shield, granting movement speed for a brief duration and absorbing damage.
Mantra Bonus – Defiance: The shield overflows with energy, dealing magic damage to all enemies around the shielded unit. Allied champions near the shielded unit gain half of that amount as a shield and are hasted.
Mantra (Ultimate)
Karma empowers her next ability within 8 seconds for an additional effect.
Akali
Akali’s Twilight Shroud was behaving inconsistently before this patch, so we’ve adjusted it to better match its visual and theme, and to provide greater opportunity for counterplay.
Twilight Shroud
Akali is now immediately stealthed/revealed upon entering/leaving the Shroud zone
Akali is now immediately stealthed when casting Twilight Shroud directly on herself
Akali is now revealed from stealth upon casting a spell or beginning an attack rather than upon dealing damage
Delay on re-stealthing increased by 0.15 seconds
Anivia
Crystallize
Fixed a bug where Crystallize could stop uninterruptible movement abilities such as Malphite's Unstoppable Force
Ashe
Focus
Now displays the Critical Strike chance bonus on the buff bar
Draven
Spinning Axe
Now leads Draven more accurately when he is benefiting from Movement Speed increases
Axe drop location will no longer be placed partially inside walls / terrain
Hecarim
The previous version of Spirit of Dread did not offer enough opportunities for tactical decision-making. With higher cooldowns, our goal is to reintroduce strategic choices other than merely activating the ability whenever it is available.
