Champions

Zac, the Secret Weapon - Added March 29

• Cell Division (Innate)
  • When any of Zac's abilities hit an enemy, a piece of him falls to the ground. Zac can pick up fallen pieces to recover health. When Zac dies he splits into four blobs. These fragments will attempt to reform over a short duration. If any survive, Zac revives with a percentage of his maximum health based on the number of remaining blobs.
• Stretching Strike (Q)
  • Zac throws a two-handed punch that deals damage and slows targets in a line.
• Unstable Matter (W)
  • Zac's body explodes outward, dealing flat damage to surrounding enemies. Enemies struck also take damage based on their maximum health.
• Elastic Slingshot (E)
  • Zac is immobilized as he charges up a dash toward the target location. The range of Elastic Slingshot increases up to a cap as Zac charges the ability. Zac then fires himself towards the target location, damaging and stunning all nearby enemies upon landing.
• Let's Bounce! (Ultimate)
  • Zac bounces into the air, immediately knocking up, slowing and damaging nearby enemies. Once airborne, he bounces three times, dealing damage with each impact.

• Inner Flame (Q)
  • Fires a blast of energy that explodes upon enemy contact, dealing magic damage and slowing all enemies in the area.
  • Mantra Bonus – Soulflare: Deals additional magic damage and leaves a circle of flame at the impact area (or upon reaching maximum range), heavily slowing all enemies inside the circle. After a brief delay the circle erupts, dealing heavy magic damage to all enemies in the area.
• Focused Resolve (W)
  • Links Karma to target enemy champion, revealing them and dealing magic damage over 2 seconds. If the link is not broken, the enemy is rooted.
  • Mantra Bonus – Renewal: Focused Resolve deals bonus magic damage over time and heals Karma for a percent of her missing health while linked to her target.
• Inspire (E)
  • Target ally gains a shield, granting movement speed for a brief duration and absorbing damage.

Champion Select AFK Detection

• When any player in a match-made game fails to select a champion before their timer expires, the game is terminated.
• A player who fails to select a champion is given a queue dodge penalty. The dodge penalty functions exactly the same as if the player closed their PVP.net client.
• Solo players who succeed in selecting a champion are returned to the front of the matchmaking queue.
• Arranged teams whose members all succeed in selecting a champion are returned to the front of the matchmaking queue.
• Arranged teams with one or more members who fail to select a champion are returned to the arranged team lobby.
• Draft mode is handled on a pick-by-pick basis. If a player fails to pick a champion during their turn, the game is terminated immediately. Players later in the draft order, who did not have an opportunity to pick a champion, are given the benefit of the doubt and not assigned a dodge penalty.
• This feature currently only applies to match made games. Custom games still assign a random champion if one is not selected.

Miscellaneous

Teleport

We are fixing a bug with Teleport where its visual effect would disappear if cast on an expiring temporary unit. Teleport should always be visible to opponents who have vision of the area, much like how casting it on a non-revealed ward still displays a visual effect.

• Fixed a bug where Teleport's "incoming" visual effect on the target unit would disappear if cast on an expiring temporary unit, such as Jarvan IV's Demacian Standard or Thresh's Dark Passage lantern.

• Fixed a bug where new players could not be invited to Matchmaking lobbies after teammates miss a ready check.
• Smart casting with charge-up abilities should be more responsive now.
• With every patch, we strive to improve the look of the game in varying degrees. We recommend that you have the latest available video card drivers installed.

Undocumented Changes

• Minor changes to Master Yi's, Quinn's, and Sona's squares.
