General

• Agni has been slowly climbing as a strong meta pick, really finding success through his early pressure at Level 5 and strong late game scaling. We want to introduce more counterplay when he hits Level 5 but still highlight his late game power. Rain Fire is seeing an early game Base damage nerf, but will still scale to the same Late Game power.
• Fixed an issue where the active duration of Flame Wave was not correct while using the Abyssal Acolyte skin.

Rain Fire

• Decreased damage from 160/195/230/265/300 to 140/180/220/260/300.

General

• Increased Movement Speed from 350 to 355.

Combustion

• This damage dealt by this ability now triggers "on ability hit" effects.

General

• Noxious Fumes is an ability that many players avoid levelling up, as the increased Mana Cost was not worth it because it rarely deals very many ticks of damage. We are bringing down the high end cost to make sure it is a better strategy to rank this skill up.

Noxious Fumes

• Decreased mana cost from 60/70/80/90/100 to 60/65/70/75/80.

General

• Agni is getting a buff! In metas past, he often served as a mid-tier Mage who wasn't the best or worst pick. In Season 4 however, he has failed to pull himself out of the bottom half of the god pool at any time. Items and meta shifts constantly move Gods balance points, and Agni has suffered from the changes this Season. When used well, his passive contributes a lot of Damage during a game, but requires Basic Attacks to charge it up. Agni's Attack Speed per level was quite low compared to other Mages with Basic Attack Passives, so we hope to speed this up both to match other Mages and help him activate his Passive more often. Rain Fire is also going to be hitting harder and more often. Agni's late game is largely around poking out his enemies while looking for a chance to commit off a Meteor stun. Allowing this to happen more often and be more punishing will give Agni the tool he needs to feel impactful, especially when combined with his passive bonus damage.
• Increased Attack Speed per level from .95 to 1.2.

Rain Fire

• Increased Magical Power Scaling from 60% to 70% per Meteor.
• Decreased Cooldown from 20s to 18s per Meteor.

General

• Agni's Flame Wave can combo into Noxious Fumes, but for many players, this combo was inconsistent or at worst impossible to execute. With this change, executing this combo will be much easier, especially in high ping situations.

Flame Wave

• Increased persist time of Flame Wave from .5 -> 1s.

General

• Flame Wave will now burn players a little bit harder, allowing Agni a bit of extra firepower in the mid and late game.

Flame Wave

• Increased scaling from 50% to 65%.

General

• Agni is seeing a nice adjustment up in his base attack speed. With this change stacking his passive should be less cumbersome and happen more often, especially in the early game.
• Increased base Attack Speed from 0.86 to 1.
• Decreased % increase of Attack Speed per level from 1.01 to 0.95.

Path of Flames

• Fixed not highlighting targets.

General

• Fixed an issue where his cooldowns were not showing up on tooltips.

General

• Made Agni ‘Infernal’ skin look better on Low settings.

General

General

• Thumbnail/Portrait Icon has been updated.
• Buff icons removed for the Ultimate (since the need for these were eliminated by the new passive meter).
• Fixed an issue with his run speed not updating on the HUD.
• Fixed a minor FX issue with the Incinerator skin.

Rain Fire

• Switched this ability to no longer use Continuous Fire. In Quick Cast mode, left clicks occurring a short time after a meteor is cast will no longer fire another one, instead always firing basic attacks. In standard targeting mode, clicking and holding the mouse will no longer fire multiple meteors uninterrupted if they are available.
• Re-fixed the issue with not animating for every shot.
• Volcanic skin will still have the issue in Solo Practice matches.

Rain Fire

• Fixed an issue in which the recovery time was not correct, making it more difficult to place Noxious Fumes down in time after using Rain Fire.

• Casting time increased from 0 to 0.3.
• Recovery time reduced from 0.2 to 0.1.

Flame Wave

• Recovery time reduced from 0.5 to 0.1.

Rain Fire

• The warmup hit area indicator FX now shows 0.5s earlier for both friendly and enemy players. Note: The warm up did not get longer, the FX are visible earlier (more warning).

Noxious Fumes

• This ability can now be placed inside of walls and other blocking geometry.

Flame Wave

• Fixed an issue where the damage over time passive was not applying to targets up close.
