Grades

(Assets released in this patch, but arent fully implemented on live servers except BR server)

Each game you will be graded based on your performance versus all other players in your region that played based on the champion-position combination (i.e. Vel'Koz supports will only be compared to other Vel'Koz supports).

• The current grading system is D, C, B, A and S, with S being the best, with a - and + in each (e.g. B+ or A-).
• These grades are not persistent - it is possible to score A+ in one game and D in a subsequent game.

League of Legends V5.6

Ultra Rapid Fire

Awesome Buff of Awesomely Awesome Buffing

A number of stats have been buffed significantly, and standard caps for some bonuses have been raised, including:

• Abilities: Mana and Energy costs are removed; Blood Well, Fury and Flow generation doubled from all sources; and Health costs are reduced by 50%.
• Cooldown reduction: Automatically set at 80% for abilities, activated items, and summoner spells.
  • Abilities with static cooldowns, such as Sweeping Blade, Missile Barrage, Dragon's Descent and the global cooldown on Udyr's abilities, will not benefit from the 80% cooldown reduction bonus.
    • The only exception to this are the revive passives of Aatrox, Anivia and Zac, which are set to a 60 seconds cooldown.
• Attack speed: Bonus attack speed is doubled ( × 1.5 for melee champions).
• Movement speed: +60 for all champions
• Tenacity: +25% for all champions
• Critical strike damage : +25% for all champions.
• Gold income:  ×  5 gain for all champions
• Also:
  • This unit does tons of damage.
  • No poros were harmed in the making of this game mode.

It's Over 9000!

• All health pools and damage dealt are multiplied by 1000. In the HUD this will be shortened to K form.

Removed Level Cap

Champions will continue to level-up beyond level 18.

• Level cap is now 30.
• The amount of experience required to level up continues to increase at the same rate.
• A champion's base stats will continue to increase at the same rate, but no other scaling is affected.
• No additional skill points are awarded.
  • The exception of this is Udyr, who is able to take advantage of this and add skill points to Phoenix Stance giving it five skill points.

Heal Embargo

In order to overcome the lustful thirst of blood greedy players, healing is tuned down from the beginning, but scales up to be nullified as the game progresses.

• All direct healing effects are 50% less effective at the beginning of the game, increasing by 1% every 30 second, up to 100% effective at 25 minutes.

Shield Overload

In order to make more just at the eye of our Lord Urf, shields are tuned down to compensate the now spammable spell to which they belong.
