Patch 10.21 – Nerfs for Samira and Pantheon, Buffs for Lee Sin und Aphelios

Patch 10.21 shakes up League of Legends. Besides adjustments to Nimbus Cloak, the update will also bring changes to twelve champions.

Lead Gameplay Designer Mark Yetter from Riot Games has shared the first information for the upcoming patch 10.21. The patch will be released on Wednesday, October 14.

Nerfing Samira

Nerfs for the patch are mostly focused on the E abilities of the champions. Newest champion Samira will have to deal with a longer cooldown and lower attack speed on her E. Hecarim and Graves also suffer nerfs to their E. Hecarim’s E will now deal lower damage, while Graves will get less bonus armor from his skill. Another jungler hit will be Nidalee as her damage is reduced. Camille’s E was also nerfed as the attack speed was reduced.
In an attempt to move Pantheon away from supporting Riot has nerfed his Q to deal less damage.

Eine zusätzliche Änderung im Patch 10.21 betrifft den Summoner Spell Nimbus Cloak. Dieser Zauber gibt bei Aktivierung einen zehn- bis dreißig-prozentigen Bonus auf das Lauftempo für insgesamt 2,5 Sekunden. Laut Mark Yetter wird Nimbus Cloak geschwächt, was in eine Reduzierung der Geschwindigkeit hindeutet.

Aphelios buffed

Aphelios will profit the most from Patch 10.21 as all the ultimates on his five weapons got buffed. Corki will also be strengthened and receives more damage on his Q. Trundle gets to enjoy a buff to his W’s cooldown. His passive will also scale better now.
Jungler Lee Sin will also deal more damage per level in the 10.21 update.

Support Karma will get to enjoy reduced cooldowns through her passive, while Udyr also gets a significant damage buff.
