Norra

Norra's Skill 2 left almost no room to respond when she returned from the other dimension. A restriction has been added to make the follow-up easier to avoid. To a Place in the Middle of Nowhere Displacement duration: 2.25s → 1.5s When the displacement ends, the target is slowed by 80% for 0.75s. Targets spend 0.75s less in the other dimension, which shortens both Norra's window to line up a follow-up and the target's window before they can fight back. In exchange they reappear under an 80% slow for 0.75s, so simply walking away is harder than it was. Norra can no longer treat the cast as the whole play — she has to read where the target will return and have something waiting there.

Memory Wave Base Damage: 60/120/180/240 → 55/110/165/220 Portal Palooza! Damage: 100/150/200 + 60% AP → 100/140/180 + 55% AP Norra's main damage tool loses close to a tenth of its output at every rank, slowing both her lane trades and her wave clear. At rank 4 the drop from 240 to 220 means some targets she used to finish with a full combo now survive it. Portal Palooza! keeps its rank 1 value and only loses power at ranks 2 and 3 plus the AP ratio, so the nerf bites hardest late. Relying on one ultimate to close out a fight is less dependable with a finished build.

Journey to Nowhere (W) Cooldown: 18/17/16/15s → 23/22/21/20s This is the ability that let Norra keep constant pressure on the enemy — while it was available, stepping forward was risky for anyone. Pushing the cooldown from 18/17/16/15s out to 23/22/21/20s leaves a much longer gap after each cast, and that gap is when the enemy team gets to make its move. Norra now pays a real price for missing, so holding the ability until the cast is guaranteed becomes the correct habit.

Journey to Nowhere (Skill 2) Cooldown: 18/16.5/15/13.5s → 18/17/16/15s Damage: 75/115/155/195 → 65/105/145/185 The crowd control on this ability had made Norra a stronger support than intended. Rank 1 is unchanged, but rank 4 goes from 13.5s back up to 15s, so ranking the ability no longer speeds up the rotation nearly as much. The flat 10 damage cut also means the crowd control comes with less chip damage attached, which gives the enemy a real window to fight back.

Beloved Trinkets (Passive) Cooldown reduction on hitting a champion: 1.5s → 20% of maximum cooldown Memory Wave Slow when the charge begins: 25% → 20% Maximum slow while charging: 55% → 30% Cooldown: 8/7/6/5s → 7.5/6.5/5.5/4.5s Base damage: 60/110/160/210 → 60/120/180/240 Journey to Nowhere (Skill 2) The duration calculation for the thread's size increase during this ability has been optimised. The size increase timer now pauses while the target is in the other dimension. Threads of Homecoming (Skill 3) [NEW] Deals 115% damage to monsters and minions Norra lagged behind other mages in survivability and wave clear, so she is brought level without adding risk to her pattern. Memory Wave gives up slow strength in exchange for 0.5s off the cooldown and up to 30 more base damage from rank 2, which lets her clear a wave in one go far more often. Swapping the passive's flat 1.5s refund for 20% of maximum cooldown means the longer an ability's cooldown, the more of it comes back. Skill 3 dealing 115% damage to monsters and minions is a direct boost to her farming speed on top of that.
