Item Changes

“We want Ancile to serve as an item that allows Physical characters to have a more direct and aggressive counter to mages. By reducing the cost, this item should have an easier time being utilized in various builds.”

• Decreased cost from 2200 → 2000 gold.

---

“We are reducing the cost of items in the Glowing Emerald Tree to make them more attractive.”

• Decreased cost from 700 → 600 gold.  
• This also means that all items in the Glowing Emerald Tree will cost 100 gold less.  

---

“With our most recent adjustment, this item provided too much sustain for the amount of damage mitigated, leading to us removing the HP5 from MotV. Watcher’s Gift is now more clearly the sustain starter item for Warriors or Guardians while Mark of the Vanguard is for direct mitigation and aggressive gameplay.”

• Removed the HP5 from this item.

---

“Over the course of Season 3, Power Potions have become a hot topic for both the community and the competitive scene. After receiving feedback at all levels we are working on an overhaul to Power Potions that will solidly focus them towards the mid and late game and no longer make them a part of starting builds. With this goal in mind, we have decided to temporarily remove the items until 3.14, when they will have a new design. We feel that removing them now will more accurately reflect the game state of 3.14, where they will be an option in the mid game instead of a requirement at the start of the game.”

• Temporarily removed from the game as we redesign the item for 3.14.

---

• Temporarily removed from the game as we redesign the item for 3.14.

---

“Similar to Ancile, we like Runeforge serving a specific role which is to allow players who build into or have slows to provide a powerful utility to themselves and their team. While effective the stats the item provided were not enough to justify the high cost and low stats it came with.”

• Decreased cost from 2650 → 2400 gold.
• Increased Physical Power from 30 → 40.

---

“Soul Eater overall has been over performing as a sustain and healing item. We are reducing some of this effectiveness in this patch.”

• Removed .5% Lifesteal bonus per stack.
• Decreased Healing when stacks are consumed from 1.5% → 1% of max HP per stack (30% total → 20% total)

---

“Watcher’s Gift should enable gods in the early game to rely on sustain instead of raw survivability. We have added 5 HP5 to make the sustain more reliable and adjusted the Mana and Health returned on this item to compensate. Overall with this change Watcher’s Gift will provide more Health and Mana during the laning phase.”

• Added 5 HP5.
• Decreased Heal from each passive trigger from 10 → 7 Health.
• Increased Mana Heal from each passive trigger from 5 → 7 Mana.

God Changes

Center of Attention

New Passive Meter.

General

Fixed Aphrodite Beach Babe Lobby Emote FX issue.

---

“Cabrakan has been smashing up the battleground after his recent adjustments. The changes made him a bit too tanky relative to his increased damage. In this patch we adjusted Refraction Shield, lowering the base damage slightly and lowering the overall protections he gains conditionally to compensate for his passive mitigation. Additionally, Tectonic Shift is now more consistent in how many hits it takes to destroy, allowing for better readability and counterplay when against Cabrakan.”

 Refraction Shield

Decreased damage from 100/160/220/280/340 → 100/155/210/265/320.

Decreased Protections per stack from 4/5/6/7/8 → 2/3/4/5/6.

 Tectonic Shift

Changed number of hits to destroy walls from 2/3/4/5/6 → 3 at all ranks.

---

General

Added Emotes.

---

Underhanded Tactics

Fixed an issue where this ability would stun improperly.

This ability should now properly only hit the closest god.

---

“Guan Yu had a major adjustment last patch and after watching his performance we want to make sure he is still healing for an impactful amount while allowing him to use his new passive more often.”

 Painless

Decreased the number of hits to max stacks from 30 → 20.

Conviction

Increased Healing from 50/80/110/140/170 → 65/95/125/155/185.

---

“Mercury is a character who excels in situations where he can get in and box his opponents or isolate them into 1 on 1 scenarios. By increasing Maximum Velocity’s duration in his early ranks as well as making Special Delivery pack more of a punch in late game scenarios, Mercury will be better equipped in these favorable scenarios.”

 Maximum Velocity

Changed duration from 3/3.5/4/4.5/5s → 5s at all ranks.

Special Delivery

Increased Physical Power scaling per tick from 15% → 20%.

Increased Physical Power scaling for minion damage from 60% → 80%.

Decreased mana cost from 70/75/80/85/90 → 60/65/70/75/80.

Increased Slow duration from 1s → 2s
