Guardian Angel patch history
Figures are as written in the official patch notes; the commentary is ours.
Guardian Angel
Patch 7.2- With defensive enchants removed from many classes, the pool of defensive items is being widened. Guardian Angel has been expensive and inefficient, never really worth its cost, so it gets an across-the-board buff to give fighters and marksmen a reason to pick it up.
Base Stats
- Price3400g → 3200g
- AD+40 → +45
Resurrection
- Mana Restored on Revive30% → 100%
- Cooldown210s → 180s
Our take
Guardian Angel is 200 gold cheaper, carries 5 more AD, and now returns you to full mana on revival. Whether you can cast immediately after standing back up often decides the fight, and getting up empty is no longer the default outcome. The cooldown also drops by 30 seconds, so a second revive is realistic across back-to-back fights. Fighters and marksmen who have to stand in front finally have a clear reason to buy it.
