This temporary mode will arrive on September 3 along with other changes that affect the balance of the champions.
Riot Games video game update week. The North American company has announced Patch 10.18 for League of Legends, which introduces many balance changes to champions, but also marks the return of one of its most beloved temporary modes. This is Uno para Todos, which returns with PsyOps on September 3 at 10:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time). Players will have to join in doubles teams in which each of the users must show off different styles of play with each champion.
Below, we offer you the full patch notes, with all its changes and news. The image that we publish just below these lines summarizes the news, but all the details are developed in detail in text.
Champions
Ahri
His Q’s passive becomes the champion’s passive, and any spell now heals. W now grants movement speed, deals 200% damage to low health minions, and better prioritizes low health minions.
Ahri’s identity and gaming experience have become more and more confusing over time, and she’s not as charming as we’d like. We’re making some changes to her kit, especially her W, to reinforce her identity as an elusive mage who can get in and out of fights while looking for the perfect moment to strike. In addition, we are also moving his Essence Steal from Q to passive so that he has more chances to activate healing when trading with enemy champions.
Overall, you should feel a greater (spiritual) drive to make more combos and risky plays.
Basic statistics
- HEALTH REGENERATION 6.5 ⇒ 5.5
Passive – Vastya Grace
- ESSENCE STEAL Ahri gains a stack of Essence Steal for each enemy hit by her abilities, up to a maximum of 3 per cast and can store 9 at a time. At 9 stacks of Essence Steal, Ahri’s next spell consumes the stacks and heals Ahri 3/5/9/18 (levels 1/6/11/16) (+ 0.09 ability power) per every enemy hit.
- GRACE VASTAYA Ahri no longer gains 20% bonus movement speed for 3 seconds when hitting a champion with 2 abilities within 1.5 seconds.
Q – Orb of Deception
- ESSENCE THEFT Essence theft is now his passive.
W – Fire Fox
- RAPOSA FEET Casting now grants a 40% increased movement speed, decaying over 1.5 seconds.
- FIRE AGAINST MINIONS Now deals 200% damage to minions below 20% health.
- IMPROVED TARGET ASSIGNMENT AGAINST MINIONS Targeting now better prioritizes low health minions that can be killed by Foxfire after champions (spellbound champions remain top priority).
- COOLDOWN 9/8/7/6/5 seconds ⇒ 10/9/8/7/6 seconds
- COST 40 mana ⇒ 55 mana
Ashe
Basic attack damage reduced.
Ashe has continued to be one of the top shooters on the pro scene, so let’s freeze her power a bit.
Basic statistics
- ATTACK DAMAGE 61 ⇒ 59
Q – Maximum concentration
- BUGFIX Runaan’s Hurricane Windfury damage now correctly takes into account the next levels of Maximum Focus.
- BUGFIX Runaan’s Hurricane bonus projectiles with Amethyst Ashe’s Q – Max Focus now correctly use the skin’s visual effects.
Gallium
Q base damage reduced.
Galio’s Q allows him to clear waves early in the game without much risk, so we’re reducing his damage so he has to invest a little more before he can fly across the map.
Q – Winds of War
- BASE DAMAGE 80/115/150/185/220 ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210
Jarvan IV
Q base damage increased.
We’ve added a bit of punch to the J4 power early in the game so it can compete in the current jungle meta.
Q – Dragon Strike
- BASE DAMAGE 80/120/160/200/240 ⇒ 90/130/170/210/250
Kayle
Q mana recovery removed. W cost increased. E cost removed. Projectile speed increased.
Improves clarity of Kayle’s mana management: Removing the mana cost from her E so she is less dependent on mana overall. Combined with the improved projectile speed of her sword, we hope to see her participate in a more exciting lane phase and that she can trade more often with her enemy.
Q – Radiant Burst
- MANA RECOVERY No longer restores 50% of mana cost for each enemy champion hit.
W – Heavenly Grace
- COST 70/80/90/100/110 mana ⇒ 90/100/110/120/130 mana
E – Cleansing Edge
- COST 50/55/60/65/70 mana ⇒ No cost.
- MISSILE SPEED 2000 ⇒ 5000
Kog’Maw
Base health and armor growth reduced.
This caustic caterpillar is almost always about to cross (and slime) the line, and it finally has. In response, we are reducing his defenses to highlight his identity as a strong but fragile marksman: very slimy, but not very resistant.
Basic statistics
- LIFE GROWTH 90 ⇒ 85
- ARMOR GROWTH 3.5 ⇒ 3.25
Miss fortune
Base Attack Speed growth increased.
We’re making another opportunistic upgrade for the Pirate Slingshot focused on early-game, reversing some debuffs from this season (on 10.10 and 10.3, if you’re interested!).
Basic statistics
- ATTACK SPEED GROWTH 2.25% ⇒ 3%
W – Show off
- MAXIMUM BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 50/60/70/80/90 ⇒ 55/65/75/85/95
Rumble
Q total damage increased.
We’re going to heat up the mood and give Rumble a kick-start so that, hopefully, it becomes an option when it comes to picking a kick-off champion in the pro scene.
Q – Flame Spitter
- TOTAL DAMAGE 175/210/245/280/315 ⇒ 180/220/260/300/340
Sett
Right punch passive now scales with bonus attack damage. The target’s maximum Q per life bonus damage ratio is now flat, scaling for every 100 total attack damage.
Sett continues to force his way into the pro gaming level, especially as a tank with few resources and utility settings. Since the previous weakening of its basic values has not been enough, we are going to give it more force. To do this, we adjusted how it progresses with damage and gold, thus incentivizing damage-oriented item sets. There will be another review after the World Cup to make sure it remains under control.
Passive – Courage of the Pit
- RIGHT PUNCH BONUS DAMAGE RATIO 0.15 total attack damage ⇒ 0.5 bonus attack damage
Q – Knuckles ready
- BONUS DAMAGE 10/20/30/40/50 (+ 1/2/3/4/5% of target’s maximum health) (+ 0.01 per 100 total attack damage) ⇒ 10/20/30 / 40/50 (+ 1% of target’s maximum health) (+ 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3% per 100 total attack damage).
Shen
Passive shield reduced.
The upgrade to Shen from 10.15 made it a bit stronger than expected, so let’s backtrack slightly.
Passive – Ki Barrier
- SHIELD 70-121 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 60-111 (levels 1-18)
Shyvana
Increase the blast radius of E in Dragon Form. The Dragon Form Gauge and Cast Gauge now accurately represent the skill. Increases the rate of damage pulses from the hit zone when in dragon form.
Fixing a minor clarity bug from Shyvana, we discovered other areas to polish. The result is a broad correction to clarity and, along with it, a minor balance shift.
Previously, the radius of Shyvana’s E in Dragon Form progressed with the level of Breath of Fire, but the effect is not rendered accurately visually or in description. We’ve decided to remove it, as the clarity of an important spell shouldn’t change dramatically throughout the game. Overall, we expect these changes to be a small debuff to Shyvana’s AP, a small buff to Shyvana’s DA, and a big boost to Breath of Fire’s clarity.
E – Breath of fire
- RADIUS OF DRAGON-SHAPED EXPLOSION 220/240/260/280/300 (check at limit) ⇒ 345 (check at center) (a check at the center with a radius of 345 equals a check at the limit with a 280 radius for most lenses).
- DOUBLE CHECK Dragon form visuals and cast indicator now properly represent the radius of the ability.
- AT FULL Dragon-shaped Fire Breath no longer casts at maximum range when the player attempts to cast the ability near maximum range.
- DRAGON-SHAPED HIT ZONE DAMAGE PULSE RATE every 1 second ⇒ every 0.5 seconds (same damage per second)
- NO WAITING Now the dragon-shaped impact zone responds better.
Twitch
Damage ratio per stack of E increased. Damage penalty from R projectiles reduced for each enemy hit.
It seems that this rat has been thrown in the sewers and we know that it is dying to return to the metagame. We’re increasing the power of his ult and making E a little more attractive. Now it’s a spell that doesn’t stink!
E – Contaminate
- BONUS DAMAGE RATIO PER STACK 0.2 ability power (max 1.2 ability power) ⇒ 0.333 ability power (max 2.0 ability power)
R – Empty the magazine
- MISSILE DAMAGE REDUCTION PER ENEMY HIT -20% from previous hit (40% minimum damage limit) ⇒ -5% for each unit hit (70% minimum damage limit).
Xin Zhao
W lunge damage increased.
Xin Zhao is no longer the threat he used to be at the start of the game, so we’re giving his damage and cleaning ability a little boost.
W – The wind turns into lightning
- LUNCH DAMAGE 30/65/100/135 / 170 (+0.75 attack damage) ⇒ 40/75/110/145 / 180 (+0.80 attack damage)
Runes
Protective
Protector performs far too good on wizards, wizards, and tank supports relative to other key runes. We will reduce its power to open other options.
- SHIELD RATIO 0.25 ability power (+0.12 bonus health) ⇒ 0.15 ability power (+0.09 bonus health)

Again, our goal for these types of smaller updates is to improve the overall clarity of the visuals in the gameplay experience and bring them up to modern League of Legends standards. This means that our efforts are mainly focused on skills that do not clearly communicate their impact picture.
