League of Legends: Jayce Patch Notes

As per usual with riot there are some interesting changes in the upcoming Jayce patch. There is alot of work being done on the skins which I have mentioned in a previous blog already but here is some of the new mentioned changes here. 

Gragas

• Base Health increased to 523, from 493.
• Armor increased to 19.6 (+3.6), from 18.7 (+2.7)

This reminds me of the recent buff Malphite received. Yes it was minor but i have been seeing him played a little bit more, i hope this will make Gragas a little bit more viable mid in high elo play.

Kennen

• Base Damage decreased to 49.3, from 54.6.

A very small nerf but i think it is deserved. Kennen played well can decimate a team 1v5 so a light AD reduction wont affect him too much. 

Kog’Maw

• Health decreased to 484, from 524.
• Living Artillery Additional Mana Cost Cap increased to “Each subsequent Living Artillery in the next 8 seconds costs additional Mana up to a maximum of 400 Mana, from Each subsequent Living Artillery in the next 6 seconds costs additional Mana up to a maximum of 200 Mana.

I think this is defiantly needed. After Graves minor change last patch Kog’Maw has been one of the best AD choices by far and a very strong mid hero essentially giving you a 2in1 combo. This will nerf some of his early game presence and Ultimate damage which can just chunk down enemy Champions. 

Rumble 

• Electro Harpoon Tooltip updated: Danger Zone Bonus: Deals 30% additional damage and slowpercentage is increased to20/26/33/39/45%. 
• Scrap Shield Tooltip udpated: Danger Zone Bonus: 30% increasein shield health and Movement Speed is increased to13/19/26/32/39%.

Not sure if these were already the numbers Rumble was doing and the tooltip was just wrong but these buffs will make him seen more Top in ranked play.

Warwick 

• Hungering Strike AP Ratio increased to 75/125/175/225/275 (+1) and 8/10/12/14/16% (+1), from 75/125/175/225/275(+1) and 8/10/12/14/16% (+0)

I don’t think this is really needed. Warwick has been nerfed and buffed for a long time and i think he is one of the most balanced Champions in League. ITEMS

Mana Potion

• Gold Cost reduced to 35, from 40.

Good change in my opinion, never really could find a good reason why mana potions cost more.
