Bel'Veth is one of several AD junglers who suffered in the new season and we're here to buff her back up. We're aiming to bring up her late game in ways that synergize with squishy high attack speed builds by giving her a better payout for that attack speed and enough health to not need to buy as much of it.

Bel’Veth was a huge winner of last patch’s Kraken Slayer and Blade of the Ruined King changes. While she deserves some nerfs to her early PVP power, we’d also like to help her fulfill her late game scaling fantasy by increasing her passive’s stack value.

Bel'Veth has some extreme extremes when it comes to attacking quickly, we want her to still maintain some of this while bringing it down slightly. Our hope with this is that Bel'Veth can remain strong when her ultimate is active, while also being a bit more restrained when it's not. Previously, we tried her "start with Ultimate" active, but we lost the excitement that comes with her ultimate and removed too much of its identity, and came with too much reliable power if she made it past the mid game.

This patch we’re making a small QoL improvement to Bel’Veth so that she can now smoothly eat Void Corals from opponents she takes down with her E.

Bel'Veth has been too strong in Elite-level solo queue for a while and we'd like if her power were more consistent across the various player skill brackets. So we're going back on some of her changes from 12.12, right after she came out, which meaningfully Elite-skewed her. By lowering her basic attack range, our goal is to weaken her ability to hit other melee champions before they can strike back.

Bel’Veth has continued to terrorize the jungle in higher levels of play, so we’re taking a decent-sized swing at her PVP combat power in this patch. As compensation for lower-skilled play, we’re making her jungle a little more forgiving by buffing her early game monster damage. This monster damage buff then becomes a nerf at about 65 bonus AD while her PVP damage is always lower which should result in the high skill skewed nerf that the Void Empress needs.

Bel'Veth is currently the Empress of the Void and dueling in the early game. The damage reduction coming from her E is a key contributor to this, so we're bringing it down a notch while also addressing some grub bugs that were working in her favor.

Last patch we succeeded in taking our Void Empress down a peg, but we didn’t intend for the nerfs to completely dethrone her. With that in mind, we’re dialing back the nerfs a bit. Now that her E isn’t such a strong early game defensive tool we’re more comfortable giving it some power in the form of a reduced cooldown for more consistent access to this ability.

Our Void queen has been dominating the early game jungle in higher skill brackets of play, which doesn't seem quite right given that she's supposed to be a late game scaling champion. Our goal with this change list is to shift power away from her early game and bruiser builds and into her builds that prioritize late game scaling and critical strikes.

With these changes we’re trying to give Bel'Veth a much better early clear in the jungle where she has typically been struggling. As a dedicated jungler, Bel'Veth has a surprisingly risky early clear that's abnormal for must junglers. We're giving her a bit more clearing power, but as she's already a relatively balanced character, we’re trimming some scaling damage from her base stats. Since she'll be getting more out her jungle clears, we expect this to be about power neutral but leave Bel'Veth players a bit happier when they're doing normal jungle things.

Bel'Veth has been the empress of the jungle recently, which last we checked wasn't canon. We’re adding more downtime to her E so it’s not always up (especially if she's been using it to farm), while also reducing her ability to snowball leads quite so effectively with all her cute lil baby remoras.

The Empress of the Void is reigning with a bit too much terror in lower and average skill brackets. These nerfs should reduce her strength in lower levels of play to a more stable win rate across the board. A few visual updates have also been made to Bel'Veth's true form based on player feedback!
