The 11.9 B-patch notes touch on units such as LeBlanc and Mordekaiser, as well as some overperforming traits, like Revenant and Legionnaire.

Trait changes

In the first week of Reckoning, two traits were guaranteed to be forced in every single lobby: Legionnaire and Revenant. Playing four Legionnaire, four Dragonslayer with Mordekaiser carry was certainly the composition of 11.9, and with the right items, it was close to unbeatable.

  • Legionnaire: Attack speed decreased from 20/60/150/250 percent to 25/60/110/180 percent.
  • Revenant: Heal upon reviving decreased from 30/75 percent to 10/40 percent.

Unit changes

Mordekaiser received nerfs through the Legionnaire trait as personal changes to his spell damage. Other top carries like LeBlanc and Aphelios were also slightly changed. The power level of Hellion, especially through levels one to five, should also see a decrease after this patch with both Ziggs and Kennen receiving nerfs.

One-cost champions
  • Ziggs: Attack speed reduced from 0.85 to 0.75
Two-cost champions
