The last patch before the League of Legends World Cup is here. Update 7.18 will form the platform on which the best teams in the world compete against each other.<\/p>\n
In the last updates, Riot tried to create the most even playing field possible and to adjust the outliers up and down with minimal changes.<\/p>\n
The new champion Ornn will also be tweaked a bit in this patch, but it is disabled for the World Cup as it was released recently.<\/p>\n
Here are the highlights of the changes:<\/p>\n
Azir:<\/strong> One of the champions that has gone out of the spotlight and will soon receive major changes.<\/p>\n First, his ultimate is increased in base damage: 150\/225\/300 \u21d2 150\/250\/450<\/p>\n Cassioppeia:<\/strong> The base damage of her E ability was too high and enabled her to build defensive items with good damage:<\/p>\n E - double tooth<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n ADDITIONAL DAMAGE AGAINST POISONED TARGETS 15\/40\/65\/90\/115 \u21d2 10\/30\/50\/70\/90<\/em><\/p>\n ADDITIONAL SCALING AGAINST POISONED TARGETS 0.4 ability power \u21d2 0.5 ability power<\/em><\/p>\n Elise:<\/strong> Base damage of her W - Explosive spider is reduced but it scales better with ability power. Your abseil gets 18s instead of 14s cooldown at the highest rank.<\/p>\n Gnar:<\/strong> His basic life is reduced from 540 to 510 that he himself does not become too stable.<\/p>\n Gragas:<\/strong>\u00a0 His basic armor is reduced and his e-belly ram has a slightly smaller radius so that he cannot empty camps in the jungle too quickly.<\/p>\n Jarvan IV .:<\/strong>\u00a0 A little too stable while jumping into the back row of enemies and dealing damage. Riot weakens his shield a little.<\/p>\n W - Golden Aegis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n BASE SHIELD 65\/90\/115\/140\/165 \u21d2 60\/85\/110\/135\/160<\/em><\/p>\n ADDITIONAL SHIELD PER CHAMPION 2 \/ 2.5 \/ 3 \/ 3.5 \/ 4 % of Jarvan's maximum life \u21d2 2 \/ 2.25 \/ 2.5 \/ 2.75 \/ 3 % of Jarvan's maximum life<\/em><\/p>\n Kalista:<\/strong> Your Ultimate will get a longer cooldown - 150\/120\/90 seconds.<\/p>\n Lucian:<\/strong> Was too "safe" in middle lane, so his E-Merciless Pursuit will be extended to earlier ranks on cooldown.<\/p>\n Ryze:<\/strong> The eternal problem child Ryze only knows extremes, either too strong or completely too weak. At the moment he is not played much, so his W rune cage gets a little more scaling with skill strength to improve his combo from 0.2 to 0.6.<\/p>\n Tristana:<\/strong> Too good in the early game, so its charge is weakened.<\/p>\n E - explosive charge<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n BOMB RATIO 0.5 \/ 0.65 \/ 0.8 \/ 0.95 \/ 1.1 bonus attack damage \u21d2 0.5 \/ 0.6 \/ 0.7 \/ 0.8 \/ 0.9 bonus attack damage<\/em><\/p>\n BOMB RATE ON 4 STACKS 1.1 \/ 1.43 \/ 1.76 \/ 2.09 \/ 2.42 bonus attack damage \u21d2 1.1 \/ 1.32 \/ 1.54 \/ 1.76 \/ 1.98 bonus attack damage<\/em><\/p>\n Invasion continues this patch as part of the Star Guardian: A New Horizon event.

Complete missions on a dynamic map to earn Starlight Tokens that you can convert into a New Horizon Eye and a mysterious Hextech Champion (random permanent champion). Some missions also grant you temporary Star Guardian championship emotes that you can present in games.<\/em><\/p>\n In the five-player PvE game mode "Invasion", all Star Guardian skins can be played for free "<\/p>\n There are also a number of bug fixes and customized items, as well as new skins and chromas.<\/p>\nGame mode rotation:<\/h2>\n
