Doran's Bow balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Doran's Bow in 2 patches. The latest is patch 26.10, published 2026-05-12.

  1. Patch 26.102026-05-12

    • Attack Damage6to8
    Why, in Riot's words

    Having just been introduced last patch, we’re starting to see Doran’s Bow being picked up by a few champions, but the risk of taking a starting item with no health was a bit too great even considering the damage upside. We’re looking to make it a bit more compelling to take that risk.

  2. Patch 26.92026-04-28

    • Attack Damage: 6
    • Attack Speed: 12%
    • Omnivamp: 1.5%
    Why, in Riot's words

    We're looking to give more starting item options to auto attack-focused champions. Doran's Bow offers a high risk, high reward fantasy that will reward those who are able to sneak in extra autos and come out on top even without the additional health.
