The likes of Yuumi and Lucian get nerfed hard in patch 13.1b

Patch 13.1b brings plenty of nerfs to familiar names.

Straying away from its strict calendar is never Riot Games' way of doing things. Unfortunately, a recent social engineering attack last week ensured that it would not be able to release content on time. However, Riot ensured that no player data or personal information was obtained.

Thankfully, the devs team was able to deploy a hotfix and hot it was indeed. A total of 13 different champions had various updates made to them with 10 being nerfed in the process. Among some of the champions that got hit by the nerf hammer were Lucian, Nami, Ryze, and Yuumi.

Other Items

 

Blade of the Ruined King

 Blade of the Ruined King was adjusted as part of the fighter item changes AND the ADC changes this patch, so the rationale for both of those changes extended to BoRK as well. 

• Cooldown: 20 seconds ⇒ 30 seconds
• Ranged On-Hit Damage: 8% ⇒ 9%
• Siphon Bonus Magic Damage: 40-150 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 40-103 (levels 9-18)

Demonic Embrace

 Demonic Embrace is currently just a bit too good on melee champions and nearly non-viable on ranged ones. We think that Demonic should still be a strong item, just not simultaneously mandatory on some champs while being extremely weak on others. 

• Maximum Health Burn: 1.8% for melee champions/0.8% for ranged champions ⇒ 1.6% for melee champions/1.0% for ranged champions

Essence Reaver

 Essence Reaver is currently letting down the champions that want to build it most, so we’re upping its power a bit to be more in line with other itemization options. 

• Attack Damage: 45 ⇒ 55
• Total Gold Cost: 2800 ⇒ 2900
