The niche AP item, Cosmic Drive, is set to receive changes in the upcoming League of Legends patch 13.5.
Riot Games developer Spideraxe provided details about Cosmic Drive on Twitter, as Riot Phroxzon, lead designer for League Balancing Team & Preseason (Summoner’s Rift Team), included the item in the changelog for the upcoming patch a few days ago. .
While certain changes can be divisive, League of Legends patches have been consistently impressive in Season 13. The developers at Riot Games have worked hard to improve the gameplay experience by providing frequent updates and tweaks to champions, items, and mechanics. of game.
Additionally, they remained committed to being more honest and open with the League of Legends community following substantial backlash for not frequently communicating with players prior to the start of Season 13.
The developers at Riot Games are certainly on the mend after a dismal start to League of Legends Season 13 (social engineering attack, season opener classified ad bug, and season 2023 cinematic backlash).
Full details on the changes to Cosmic Drive in the upcoming League of Legends patch 13.5
Cosmic Drive Change: – Amp Tome replaces Ruby Crystal in build path, combo cost reduced from 850 to 815 (unchanged total) – AP increased from 65 to 90 – No longer has 200 health https://t.co/UxIZPCrzp9
These are all the changes that are being made to Cosmic Drive in League of Legends patch 13.5:
- Amp Tome now replaces Ruby Crystal in the build path, with the combo cost lowered from 850 to 815 (total item cost remains unchanged)
- AP (ability power) has now been increased from 65 to 90
- The item will no longer grant 200 health on completion.
These changes are fun and aim to diversify the Wizard item class. Compared to the Marksmen item class or even the Juggernaut/Bruiser item class in Season 13, the item class is considered drab and underwhelming.
With Riot Phroxzon recently stating that the development team is committed to making the mage item class much more entertaining and exciting for players, future improvements and big changes to more AP items can be expected. Lich Bane, in particular, has fallen out of favor and has become a niche item.
LeBlanc is a champion who will greatly benefit from these adjustments. Other champions like Zilean, Victor, Annie, Anivia, and others can also benefit from this, as Cosmic Drive can become a situational item for them.
These changes are expected to shake up the midlane meta. Patch 13.5 will undoubtedly have an influence on the Season 13 meta, making pro play more exciting to watch.
