Riot just absolutely TROLLED us...

What a play Riot, what a play!

I’m part of the official League Partner Program with Riot Games. You can read about the program here:

Riot:"We like to engage in a bit of tomfoolery"
*makes rabaddon give AD*

[guifdcanalli]

I mean its a strict rule already
If Ksante is happy, no one else is
"Oh but my ADC can finally build Zhonya"
IF KSANTE IS HAPPY, NO ONE ELSE IS

Riot: "item will have 10 to 15% less stats than before"
Also riot:

The patchnotes seem to be total chaos. In the dev update they wrote that they "Removed Chalice of Harmony", an item which was removed three years ago in patch 10.23.

i was legit scared shitless. If they ever do this kind of change im expecting +30hp per level on every mage exept vlad.

[VarsVerum]

Zhonyas being an extremely high AP item now is not much of a comfort either. Before you had to actively forfeit DPS to buy zhonyas since it only gave like 70-80 AP. Now it gives 120 AP so you get more slot efficiency.

Despite the troll, I appreciate how the new season looks but also refreshing with the map changes.

A riot member on twitter trolled a 2nd time and said it gave 120ap on top of the MR and armor before deleting the tweet and posting the current one without the MR. People lost their minds.

One of the rioters said it was hard to keep silent for several months about this update when everyone was saying "riot does nothing" and such
We can assume this troll was part of their plan then, it was intended ":^)"

120 AP is still absolutely insane and a huge buff for an item that was already stupidly good.

[mistahstyle]

First i was like: "wtf? Zhonya gives 60 armor/mr for only 3100 gold"?!

Now I'm like: "wtf 120ap mages are already too strong!"

[NetoSutam]

id love if there was an April fools update that changed the stats of all items--

[moborisent]

50 armor on it still building it on ksante

[tommybury]

Insane that they give Zhonya's 120 AP. Now every single mage is gonna build this and its gonna be so insufferable. I was ecstatic when the preview showed only MR and armor lol

[malachiswedberg]

Good idea lets give the best defensive item in the game bar none, 120 AP

just got back into league and noticed they didn't change beginner missions for free champs, there is one that says play one blind pick game and you get yi for free but there is not blind pick anymore, which wouldn't be a problem if there were not other missions after that one and a few of them also says like "play/win x amount of blind picks and you get this champ

[matyasborecky]

I honestly think the "troll change" would be better. Making this extremely useful item locked behind so much AP makes it problematic, because mages abuse it so much (also, one specific adc which has been S tier for 2 seasons now ehm ehm). The fact that it would be viable on Ksante wouldn't really matter since Ksante is a problem with literally any item.

[strongerthanever]

Plot twist: they weren't trolling on purpose, it was just riot being riot

[Sinaeb]

me when I, m trying to find an item that can give magic resist

[walkelftexasranger]

HOLY SHIT IT GIVES 120 AP?! WHAT THE HELL?!
