LoL 14.11 Patch Notes PBE Datamine: Ornn Item Changes

With Patch 14.10 now live, we already have information for the upcoming update coming to League of Legends. FrankTheBoxMonster on Reddit has shared more valuable information from the PBE so we will be taking a closer look.

Although these changes might not be final, it seems Rioters are looking at adjusting Briar, Mordekaiser, and Twisted Fate among other champions. League of Legends is constantly seeing balance changes to either stop overpowered champions from dominating ranked or to bring more viable picks into the champion pool.

We will go through all of the changes in this recent data mine to see what we can expect in the next League of Legends balance change update. Please keep in mind that the information is not final and is subject to change as Rioters test out different ideas and stats.

LoL 14.11 Patch PBE Champion Changes

This time around, Ornn is receiving a major update to his passive as well as the items that you can upgrade.

Ornn

 

Living Forge (Passive)

• Complete overhaul of how Ornn can upgrade items

NOTE: The devs have previously stated how difficult it is to sustain his passive, as they wil need to manually adjust every new item as well as the Ornn version.

Ornn will now be able to upgrade every completed item, except for unstacked Tier items and Support Quest items. It seems that Mejai's Soulstealer and Vigilant Wardstone are also not eligible for an upgrade.

Instead of creating brand new items, Ornn will give mostly fixed 1000 Gold value stats according to what the item provides. Unique names were also removed, for instance, if a Black Cleaver is upgraded, it will simply read "Black Cleaver (Masterwork)". For example, AP Items will get additional AP. This is a rough breakdown of how stats will be distributed based on gold:

• Attack Damage: +1 AD per 35 Gold (Long Sword item value)
• Ability Power: +1 AP per 20 Gold (Amplifying Tome item value)
• Health Points: +1 HP per 2.66 Gold (Ruby Crystal item value)
• Armor: +1 Armor per 20 Gold (Cloth Armor item value)
• Magic Resistance: +1 MR per 18 Gold (Null-Magic Mantle item value)
• Ability Haste: +1 AH per 31.25 Gold (Unclear how Rioters have calculated it)
• Attack Speed: +1 AS per 30 Gold (Dagger item value)

NOTE: These are all of the stats Ornn can currently upgrade. Please also keep in mind that the upgrades are still applied to your first slotted item.

Following this logic, FrankTheBoxMonster gave an example with Kraken Slayer. Currently, the item gives 50 AD, 40% AS, and 7% MS, and since Ornn can only upgrade the AD and AS stats, the 1000 Gold value will be split evenly between the AD and AS. This means that Ornn will give 500 Gold worth of AD totaling +14.3 AD and 500 Gold worth of AS totaling +16.7% AS.
