LoL: Datamined Major Changes to K'Sante

These changes seem to push changes in K'Sante's melee positioning but make up for this inconvenience with better attack speed and damage.

• Base Attack Damage (AD): 64 ⇒ 66
• Attack Range: 175 ⇒ 150, this change will make K’Sante more reliant on positioning in melee range.
• Base Attack Speed: 0.625 ⇒ 0.658
• Attack Speed Ratio: 0.625 ⇒ 0.658

• Removed bonus range from K’Sante’s passive, emphasizing his shorter attack range.
• Base damage: 5-20 ⇒ flat 20, this change should make his early-game trading more consistent.
• K’Sante’s ultimate no longer converts passive damage into true damage or increases the damage of the passive.

K’Sante’s Q ability has been heavily modified, focusing more on synergy with resistances rather than flat AD scaling:

• Damage: 30/55/80/105/130 (+40% AD) (+30% Bonus Armor) (+30% Bonus Magic Resistance) ⇒ 70/100/130/160/190 (+35% Bonus Armor) (+35% Bonus Magic Resistance)
• Q base damage increased: 30-130 ⇒ 70-190.
• AD ratio removed, but resist ratio increased from 30% to 35%.
• Q width: 150 ⇒ 100, making the skillshot harder to land.
• Cast time: 0.45-0.25 seconds ⇒ 0.45-0.35 seconds, but now scales down with bonus resistances instead of health.
• Q cooldown: 4-1.75 seconds ⇒ 3.5-1.75 seconds
• Q cooldown cap: 250 resists ⇒ 120 resists
• RQ cooldown reduction: 25% ⇒ 33%, and RQ now slows enemies.

K’Sante’s W has been reworked to provide stronger base damage and more tankiness while focusing on resist scaling:

• Minimum Charge Time: 0.66 seconds ⇒ 0.4 seconds
• Damage: 20/40/60/80/100 (+50% AD) (+85% bonus Armor) (+85% bonus Magic Resistance) (+6/7/8/9/10% Target Max Health) ⇒ 40/60/80/100/120 (+8% Target Max Health)
• NEW: Target Max Health% scales with 2% Bonus Resistances
• Stun Duration: 1.25 seconds ⇒ 0.5-1.5 seconds (based on charge time)
• NEW: All Out (R) deals additional 10-100% True Damage based on charge time
• All Out (R) Damage Reduction: 60% ⇒ 75%
• REMOVED: All Out (R) no longer knocks back or stuns

K’Sante’s E has seen several changes to his mobility, balancing his potential to dash quickly around the battlefield:

• Free Target Dash Speed: 900 ⇒ 550
• All Out (R) Free Target Dash Speed: 1450 ⇒ 900
• Ally Target Dash Speed: 1100 (+100% Total Movement Speed) ⇒ 1100
• All Out (R) Free Target Dash Speed: 1100 (+100% Total Movement Speed) ⇒ 1400
• Cooldown: 10.5/10/9.5/9/8.5 seconds ⇒ 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 seconds
• NEW: All Out (R) reduces cooldown by 50%
• REMOVED: All Out (R) no longer allows free target dash over terrain
• REMOVED: All Out (R) no longer increases the Free Target Dash Range from 250 to 400

K’Sante’s ultimate has undergone several changes to tone down its overpowering potential while shifting its utility:

• Damage Type: Magic ⇒ Physical
• Damage: 70/110/150 (+65% AP) ⇒ 80/115/150
• Wall Bonus Damage: 70/110/150 (+65% AP)  ⇒ 80/115/150 (+5% Bonus HP)
• Duration: 20 seconds ⇒ 15 seconds
• REMOVED: No longer can be cancelled early by recasting
• Bonus Attack Damage: 10/25/40 (+25% Bonus Resists) ⇒ REMOVED
• Bonus Attack Speed: 25/35/45% ⇒ 40/60/80%
• Omnivamp: 15/20/25% ⇒ 25%
• NEW: K'Sante now gains 60% Bonus Armor Penetration
