Ao Kuang has been suffering since his last nerf. We've chosen to focus his Season 3 on being a stronger Late game pick, and as such have adjusted his base scaling on several stats.
Increased Health Scaling from 74 -> 82 per level.
Increased starting HP5 from 7 -> 10.
Increased HP5 Scaling from 0.48 -> 0.7 per level.
Increased Magical Protection scaling per level from 0 -> 0.9.
Increased Magical In-Hand Scaling per Level from 1.7 -> 2.4.
We wanted to give Artemis more reliability from her Ultimate. By reducing the the amount of time is takes Tusky to select a new target, Caledonian Boar becomes much more impactful and reliable during a large scale teamfight.
Calydonian Boar
Decreased the amount of time it takes for Tusky to select a new target after dashing.
Caledonian Boar now chooses a new target every 0.5 Seconds, down from 1.5.
Bellona has had a strong showing through most of Season 2, and felt that this was a good time to look at her more closely for an adjustment. It is important to remember that we will be monitoring these changes closely, especially since many items Bellona relied on have seen large scale changes. As with all gods affected by item changes, we will keep a close eye and adjust accordingly.
Bludgeon
Reduced Slam Bonus Damage from 30% -> 25% per god hit.
Scourge
Reduced Disarm from 2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3s -> 1.4/1.6/1.8/2/2.2s.
Often Kali was "do or die", and while this kind of play can be exciting, it often led to a dynamic where missing a kill could cause a lot of frustration. Assists will now provide a smaller bonus, helping alleviate this frustration.
Marked for Death
Kali is now rewarded on kills or assists.
Kali now heals 80% of her maximum Health on kills, and 15% on Assists.
Passive Changed: Nemesis holds the scales of balance. Hitting enemies with Basic Attacks reduces their Physical or Magical power by 4% per hit, while increasing her own Physical Power by 4% (max 4 stacks).
Some love for Vamana. With increased movement speed, and a larger radius while in Colossal Fury, Vamana should more easily be able to chase people while in his Ultimate.
Increased base movement speed from 365 -> 380.
Colossal Fury
Increased radius of damage in Ultimate from 12 -> 16.
