Welcome to Patch 5.0c!
Time flies! Look at that, we are on the last patch of 5.0! We got not one, not two but three events for you this patch! As well as a new champion, some new skins, and of course, our regularly scheduled balance changes. Welcome to patch 5.0c.
Reminder: content will be released throughout the patch.
NEW
NEW CHAMPIONS
KINDRED, THE ETERNAL HUNTER
Separate, but never parted, Kindred represents the twin essences of death. Lamb's bow offers a swift release from the mortal realm for those who accept their fate. Wolf hunts down those who run from their end, delivering violent finality within his crushing jaws. Though interpretations of Kindred's nature vary across Runeterra, every mortal must choose the true face of their death.
Kindred will be released on March 29 at 00:01 UTC

CHAMPION CHANGES
KINDRED
[HOTFIX] Kindred has tumbled onto the Rift and been delivering death in both Lanes and Jungle alike, dominating in games. We’re dialing back their early damage so their opponents are able to fight back.

Graves hasn’t been measuring up against other Junglers, especially when he falls behind in items. We’re tweaking some numbers around so he can keep up.
Base Stats
- Base Attack Damage: 64 → 66
- Base Health: 570 → 630

- Base Health: 650 → 630
Dragon's Rage
- Damage: 100/300/500 + 200% bonus Attack Damage + 10/13/16% target’s maximum Health → 100/250/400 + 200% bonus Attack Damage + 10/13/16% target’s maximum Health
MORGANA
We’ve buffed Morgana’s ability to protect her teammates so she can shine both as a damage dealer and a support. We are also tweaking her damage to monsters so she’s more in-line with other Junglers.
TORMENTED SHADOW
- Damage to monsters: 225% → 195%
BLACK SHIELD
- Duration: 4s → 5s
NAUTILUS
Nautilus hasn’t been as tanky as he should be. These changes will let him soak up all the damage he needs to for his carries to shine.
TITAN'S WRATH
- Shield value: 55/65/75/85 + 11/12/13/14% maximum Health → 55/65/75/85 + 12/13/14/15% maximum Health

- Healing: 6.5% + 0.01% Ability Power→ 7.5% + 0.01% Ability Power
SYNDRA
We are toning down Syndra’s damage so she’s not overpowering the other mages in-game. She is still going to be a strong late game carry, but not unreasonable to deal with.

FORCE OF WILL

TALON
Our newest Noxian assassin has been clearing the Jungle real fast so we’re nerfing his damage to monsters. We’ve also noticed he’s pretty slow vaulting over walls which is subpar for an assassin of his caliber. Now he’ll be able to go through terrain more flexibly.
Base Stats
- Damage to monsters: 120% → 90%
ASSASSIN'S PATH
- Increase Talon’s speed of vaulting over terrains and turrets by 10%

Base Stats
- [Removed] Crushing Blow: Attacks apply marks on the target and deal bonus damage from each stack, maximum to 5 stacks.

- [New] Passive: Golden Staff adds an empowering effect on Wukong’s base attacks every 12s. Takedowns will reduce Golden Staff’s passive Cooldown by 2s. The Cooldown of the passive will be reduced by 2s per level, and killing enemy champions will refresh the Cooldown.

Wukong rework will be live on March 21 at 00:01 UTC
YUUMI
Yuumi has been protecting her best friends a little too well. These changes will make sure she’s measuring up against her opponents and allows players to have more decision making power when it comes to her abilities.
YOU AND ME!
- Adaptive power: (8/14/20/26 + (5 + 0.25 per level)% bonus Attack Damage) or (16/28/40/52 + (5 + 0.25 per level)% Ability Power) → (8/14/20/26 + (2+ 0.15 per level)% bonus Attack Damage) or (16/28/40/52 + (2 + 0.15 per level)% Ability Power)
FINAL CHAPTER

Base Stats
- Attack Damage: 18 → 20
- Attack speed: 30% → 35%
DIVINE SUNDERER
Divine Sunderer hasn’t been offering players the best value for their gold compared to other items. We are adjusting its price and stats to make it consistent with other items.
Base Stats
- Full price: 3450g → 3400g
- Maximum Health: 400 → 425
GARGOYLE
We’re buffing Gargoyle’s active so tanks can effectively use the shield in fights. We’re also changing the damage reduction to disappear when the shield is broken.
Stoneplate
- Gain a shield absorbs damage of (20% → 25%) of maximum Health, decaying in 4s (75s Cooldown → 60s Cooldown)
- [New] If the shield breaks early, damage reduction will end.
SPEAR OF SHOJIN
Spear of Shojin hasn’t been having a great performance in the early game. We’re buffing its power in lane, while making sure it’s not overpowered for teamfights.
Dragon Awakening
- Increases Ability Haste of basic abilities by 25% for (8s → 10s) after casting an Ultimate, and grants (30% → 25%) bonus Movement Speed that decays over 3s. Scoring a takedown within (8s → 10s) refreshes the ability's duration. (20s Cooldown)
[New] Rising Dragon
- +5% Movement Speed
STORMRAZOR
Stormrazor has been getting outshined by its fellow marksman items. We’re buffing its passive to make it a more valuable pick up again.
Paralyze
- Energized Attacks gain (50 - 120 → 65 - 135) bonus magic damage and slow enemies by 75% for (0.5s → 0.75s)
TRINITY FORCE
Trinity Force’s passive’s name has been changed so it no longer shares the same name as the one Black Cleaver has.
Rage → Valor
RUNE CHANGES
CONTRACTION: HEXTECH FLASHTRAPTION
The channeling time has been optimized for when it’s been less than 1s.
- [New] When channeled for less than 1s, you will dash the distance as if you channeled for 1s.
CONTRAPTION: ITEM CRAFTING
Item crafting has been too expensive to use, so it’s been sitting unpicked, gathering dust. To make it a more appealing pick-up, we are adjusting the amount of gold needed to purchase an item outside.
Passive
- Generate a stack every 180 seconds. You can buy items outside the fountain, which costs 1 stack and an additional (150 → 50) Gold
