League of Legends patch 11.3 notes: Goredrinker & Moonstone Staff nerf, Rell update, more
The League of Legends 11.3 patch notes are here and we have a complete look at what to expect in the Feb. 3 update including all the changes to Goredrinker, Staff of Flowing Water, Rell balances and more.
Riot’s popular title has been overshadowed by healing in recent patches, so much so the balance team is now moving quickly to cowl a number of “problem” items.
This includes one half of thenotorious “Moonstone Staff” combo— the non-Mythic side, Staff of Flowing Water, is being nerfed — as well as a small power reduction for Goredrinker’s active, which delivers a hefty chunk of health back for damaged tanks.
Rell, the Iron Maiden, is also copping a small rework.
On top of that, the LoL balance team is taking a “big sweep” through Season 11’s items to “find over and underperformers,” and give them a tweak.
Here’s all the details on League of Legends patch 11.3, coming this week.
League patch 11.3 patch notes
Goredrinker, Staff of Flowing Water cop nerfs
Riot has decided to hit the dreaded “Moonstone Staff” combo by taking power out of the non-Mythic side. This leaves Moonstone Renewer untouched, but should cowl the“broken” healing synergythat has reigned supremein Season 11.
The Staff isn’t the only item under the microscope this patch. Goredrinker has also had some of its power stripped; it’s active now delivers less health back (8% instead of its original 12%).
Other top-tier items like Deadman’s Plate, Zhonya’s Hourglass, and Sterak’s Gage have also been nerfed. Heading the other way are struggling items like Phantom Dancer, marksman mythic Immortal Shieldbow, and Chemtech Purifier.
Riot runs ruler over Rell in patch 11.3
The Iron Maiden has been handed a number of changes in patch 11.3, in an effort to mitigate her impact a little. She currently boasts a 54.23% win rate in high-ranked solo queue, according toLolalytics.

The Iron Maiden will have damage and shielding taken out of her W ability, “Ferromancy,” as well as her E ally bind, “Attract and Repel.”
To counteract these power shifts, Rell’s ultimate — “Magnet Storm” — now deals 40% more damage through ability power, though her base 120-280 damage dealt via the signature ability still stays the same.
