Update history and meta predictions
Numbers are transcribed from the official Riot patch notes; the commentary is ours. This page covers patch 7.3b (released 2026-10-14).
21 matches
Eight champions, six items and four runes are adjusted. Hwei takes a second round of nerfs after 7.3a, to his passive, Pool of Reflection, Stirring Lights and Crushing Maw. Senna also loses more after 7.3a, this time AD per Mist stack and crit damage. Nocturne is nerfed on Duskbringer and Paranoia, and Yunara on Cultivation of Spirit and Transcend One's Self. Volibear, Jhin, Tryndamere and Yasuo are buffed, with Jhin, Tryndamere and Yasuo getting changes to their crit numbers. Youmuu's Ghostblade, Locket of the Iron Solari, Statikk Shiv and Yun Tal Wildarrows each get 100 gold cheaper, while Thornmail costs 150 more. Warmog's Armor now needs 1250 bonus Health for its regeneration to work. Among runes, Electrocute's level-1 damage and Cheap Shot's cooldown are buffed, while Grasp of the Undying and Aery's shield are nerfed. In the jungle, raptor camps gain 10% base Health. AAA ARAM adjusts nine augments.
Our take
Both the normal and the empowered W get 10% more out of their AD ratio. The empowered heal takes a larger share of missing Health from rank 2 on, reaching 14% instead of 8% at rank 4, so W keeps him in fights longer once he is low.
Our take
The fourth shot's missing-Health damage now reaches its 25% cap at level 10 instead of 15, and starts at 11.5% rather than 11% at level 1. His crits also deal 5 points more of normal crit damage, so the fourth shot hits harder through the mid game.
Our take
Each point of Fury now grants 0.5% Critical Rate regardless of level, so 100 Fury means 50% Critical Rate from the start of the game. Spinning Slash gains base damage from rank 2 on and a higher bonus AD ratio, adding 30 base damage at rank 4.
Our take
A second round of nerfs after 7.3a. His passive explosion, Pool of Reflection's shield, Stirring Lights' bonus and Crushing Maw's damage all lose base value or AP ratio. Crushing Maw's range also drops from 7.5 to 7, so he has to be closer to land the pull.
Our take
Duskbringer loses 10 base damage at every rank, and the AD gained on Dusk Trails is halved at rank 1, from 20 to 10 (it rises from 50 to 55 at rank 4). With less damage and less bonus AD on his early Q, he clears camps more slowly. Paranoia's cooldown is 10 seconds longer at every rank, and he has 84 less Health at level 15.
Our take
Cultivation of Spirit's on-hit damage drops by 5 at every rank, on both the passive and the active. It applies on every attack, so the loss adds up over long fights. Transcend One's Self stays at 70 seconds at rank 1 but is 5 seconds longer at rank 2 and 10 seconds longer at rank 3.
Our take
AD per Mist stack falls from 1.25 to 0.9, so the gap grows as she collects Mist: at 100 stacks she has 35 less AD. Her crits deal 10 points less of normal crit damage, and Piercing Darkness loses 20 base damage at every rank. Following the Attack Speed cuts in 7.3a, this trims how much she grows as the game goes on.
Our take
Crits on his attacks and Steel Tempest deal 5 points more of normal crit damage. The Flow shield still starts at 77 at level 1, but its max-level value rises from 529 to 630, so the extra protection grows with his level.
Our take
Same stats, 100 gold cheaper, so it completes a little sooner.
Our take
It is 100 gold cheaper and grants 100 more Health, a price cut and a stat gain at once.
Our take
Same stats, 150 gold more, so it completes later when bought first.
Our take
The bonus Health needed for the regeneration to work rises to 1250. Warmog's own 700 Health no longer gets close, so it has to be stacked with other Health items. This site's data (the in-game text on 2026-09-29) had the old value as 950, not the 900 in the notes.
Our take
It is 100 gold cheaper, and each attack adds 7 Energized stacks instead of 5, so the chain lightning comes up sooner.
Our take
Following the 7.3a stat buff, it is now 100 gold cheaper.
Our take
Its level-1 damage rises from 40 to 60. The max-level 210 is unchanged, so the gain is in the early game.
Our take
Its cooldown drops by 2 seconds, so it adds its true damage to impaired targets more often.
Our take
The empowered attack now deals 3% of max Health, and each proc grants 8 permanent Health instead of 10, a fifth less Health growth per proc.
Our take
The shield's base value drops by 5 at level 1 and by 20 at max level. The ratios are unchanged.
Our take
Both the Crimson Raptor and the small Raptors gain 10% base Health and more Health per level. The gap widens as the game goes on, so taking an enemy's raptor camp in the mid and late game takes longer.
Our take
Nine augments are adjusted. Soothing Slipstream, Rock Solid, Poro Head, Origin: Lethal Tempo and Eureka are weakened, while Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn, Bigger and Bigger, Goliath and Fast and Furious are strengthened. Poro Head also blocks less true damage, 40% instead of 50%.
806 recorded changes across 31 versions, from 6.3 through to the current 7.3c. It is built for tracking how often a single champion has been buffed or nerfed.
The largest is 7.3 with 240 entries — the patch that rebuilt boots and introduced tier 3. Others run to a handful of lines, so the version numbers alone say nothing about how much the meta shifted.
Of the 806 entries, 348 are champion changes. The rest cover items and runes, ARAM and Arena tuning, ranked seasons and system-level work.
Selecting a version also brings up a meta prediction for that patch, 31 versions in all. It is an AI-written read rather than measured data; the tier list is where you check what the win rates actually did.
