The Marksman Class: Addressing Durability Issues

The marksman class faces significant durability problems, particularly in the early laning phase. Their power heavily relies on their supports, making them vulnerable to aggressive play. This has led to gameplay satisfaction issues, as a marksman’s strength is directly tied to their survival time.

To address these concerns, we are increasing the mobility and base health of ADCs. This should reduce the aggressive punishment they face when they fail and allow them to recover and perform well in fights.

Specific Changes for Solo-Laner Marksman Champions

We are also providing tailored changes for solo-laner marksman champions like Lucian and Vayne. These champions need more specific buffs to address their unique playstyles and power issues, beyond just general durability boosts.

• Lucian: Increased passive critical strike chance from 75% to 100%.
• Vayne: Enhanced Q attack damage bonus from 50/55/60/65/70% to 60/65/70/75/80% of total attack damage.
• Tristana: Adjusted base attack speed ratio from 0.656 to 0.679.
