[2023] 13.15 Full Patch Preview


Original Post — Direct link

"Full 13.15 Preview

We're still getting fine tuning on the summon champion changes, but the intent is to reduce the effectiveness of smite on them and decrease their durability respectively. Meaning that instead of only junglers being able to deal with the pets, most champs will" - https://twitter.com/RiotPhroxzon/status/1684030636900884480

Maiden HP changes just further incentivize lethality hit and run builds which are probably the most annoying ones to play against. Otherwise Maiden (and Yoricks whole power) is too susceptible to dying during extended fights.

Also he just feels horrible without Maiden and she has half the health late game so….yay.

Base Armor/MR is a multiplicative HP lever. Once she has 25 armor/mr (around level 14), the HP ratio is unchanged. Afterwards it's higher, meaning that in any late-game scenario she scales with Yorick HP harder than before. Overall the change is fairly negligible, though. The HP ratio is 66-90%, from 75%

Except by that point the enemy has pen items, so she's weaker still.

In fact most Flat pen mages are going to be doing true damage to the maiden anyway, because you can get so much flat pen so easily with just 3 items.

Then we can re-tune her if Maiden is actually too squishy. Pen should work against pets.

No one is arguing that pen shouldn't work against pets. I'm just pointing out that it rings false to claim that she will be stronger after lvl 14, when you had not considered that the enemy team can build to ignore resistances, but they can't build to ignore hp.

Personally, I hate playing into Yorick, so feel free to leave her squishy. :)

I said the HP ratio is functionally higher. That tends to be true.

Did you guys make cleaver and stuff work vs pets, since you said you want pets to have the same interactions as champions?

You should probably do a sweep of all champion-only effects and make them affect champions AND pets if you want the interactions to match up.

That's a decent idea for something to put on our backlog. For example, Syndra W maybe shouldn't work on them.

It's not the most pressing and urgent task but probably a pretty reasonable one for us to identify all the rules we want to use.

If someone were to identify said rules, where do you think they would land on true damage interactions?

More specifically, the fact that items can now arbitrarily amplify true damage with % damage increase, but items with % damage reductions cannot likewise reduce true damage.

Would it be best to remove itemized % increases to true damage, or allow itemized % reductions to affect true damage? All logic points to the former.

That seems like a huge conceptual design flaw. I can't imagine there's consistent logic in allowing one and not the other.

Any time items multiply true damage it is almost always an implementation oversight. However, the actual implications of that oversight are incredibly small.

I agree its small.

I just remember being incredibly disappointed a few years ago by the Rioter who said it would be cool if Horizon Focus amplified Vel'Koz true damage, and it clearly being approved since items, which didn't amplify true damage before, now amplify true damage.

I was simply wondering where broad stances on something like that landed now.

Pre-rework Swain E used to multiply true damage on purpose so that it multiplied him running Ignite. It was designer intent of "this works the way I feel like it should" benefitting the player being more important than rules consistency.

To be clear, consistency is never the most important rule. It's nice to have when there aren't more important priorities. It helps the game be learnable and is a positive, just not the most important design consideration.
