Systems

Attack Speed Changes

• All champions’ attack speed ratios have been changed, so that attack speed bonuses are now calculated based on a percent of the champion’s base attack speed. In short, champions with lower base attack speeds will receive less benefit from attack speed items. Certain champions and attack speed granting items have been adjusted in this patch to compensate.
• Champion Attack Speed Ratios: 1.0 to all champion base attack speed.

PvE Rounds

• In the event that you do not get an item during a PvE round, one of the minions, monsters, or epic monsters will now drop gold instead.
