Midscope update. All abilities adjusted. Jax’s midscope update is on the smaller side compared to our previous onces. Overall, we like his simpler gameplay and kit, but we felt there was room to make his ultimate ability more interesting. Additionally, we’ve shifted his AP ratios around to buff up his burstier AP playstyle that’s seen play in the past. All of that said, unfortunately Jax still doesn’t have a real weapon…

While functional, the current version of Seraph's Embrace hasn't been hitting the mark in terms of excitement and impact. With RoA and Catalyst returning, the healing effect has now become redundant. We tested a few iterations of this item in Preseason that didn’t feel quite right leading to the changes being delayed, so we’re excited to have reached a version we’re more confident in for live. We're shifting Archangel’s back towards a high AP scaling item with a defensive option to help mages have a little more room for error in the late game.

Axiom Arc is a cool item but really only has one core user in Nocturne (and we love him for it). With a buff aimed at assassins, we hope that more players will be casting more ultimates so they can ultimately complete their anime protagonist arc.

Horizon Focus doesn't receive too much attention outside of a few artillery mages… and it's not even that great on them. With enough Ability Power to now match Shadowflame, maybe you'll tell the shopkeeper, "Bring me the Horizon Focus!" To which they'll reply, "That's the spirit!"

Jak'Sho has landed as a solid core item for tanks, however it’s also been quite potent on fighters. We’re ok with fighters sometimes purchasing the item when they want to lean more into durability over damage. But we don’t think it should dominate all the other Mythic choices they have, and right now it's close to doing just that. We're shifting the ratios on Jak'Sho to better incentivize additional defensive purchases and make it a worse one-stop shop for durability in fighter builds.

Rod of Ages is still a bit weak after having its cost buffed and is missing the mark a bit when it comes to that classic RoA experience we all love and remember. We’re shipping some small buffs this patch aimed at the item's immediate power spike as a stat stick while also making the Move Speed more noticeable and effective. We’re also making adjustments to the Eternity passive as it's currently skewing too far towards taking damage (and restoring mana) versus casting spells (and healing).

With the avalanche of new and updated Preseason tank items, Winter's Approach has lost its place among the Legendary items (which is a shame because winter finally came). We're reverting some of our nerfs from last year so that Winter's Approach stands out more as the mana/health stacking second item.
