Experimental Hexplate balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Experimental Hexplate in 2 patches. The latest is patch 26.20, published 2026-10-06.

  1. Patch 26.202026-10-06

    • Ranged Mod70% of Value (35% Attack Speed, 14% Move Speed)to50% of Value (25% Attack Speed, 10% Move Speed)
    Why, in Riot's words

    We've been fairly unhappy with how this item has played out for ranged users, especially as a first rush in top lane where it makes them too resilient to burst and too lethal during all ins.

  2. Patch 26.112026-05-27

    • OverdriveOn ulting, 50% bonus AS and 20% bonus MS for 8 secondstoRanged: 35% bonus AS and 14% bonus MS for 8 seconds (unchanged for melee)
    Why, in Riot's words

    We like a world where Hexplate is satisfying across a spread of archetypes, and serves as a springboard to dive into interesting itemization tradeoffs. However, right now the item makes League less approachable for top laners by letting Vayne and Varus maintain a large proportion of their damage while being a good bit harder to kill. This change should better align expectations opponents have around ranged users building Hexplate, while still presenting as a worthy Experimental choice.
