Hextech Rocketbelt balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Hextech Rocketbelt in 3 patches. The latest is patch 26.20, published 2026-10-06.

  1. Patch 26.202026-10-06

    • Ability Haste20to10
    • Active Damage100 (+10% AP)to135 (+15% AP)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Rocketbelt continues to be used a bit too much as an escape compared to a risky engage tool, so we are pulling back on its generic value in favor of emphasizing aggressive action with it, especially for AP Bruisers who rely on it for all ins.

  2. Patch 26.142026-07-14

    • Build PathHextech Alternator + Fiendish Codex + Amplifying Tome + 300toHextech Alternator + Kindlegem + Ruby Crystal + 350
    • Active Cooldown40 secondsto50 seconds
    • Ability Power70to60
    • Health300to350
    Why, in Riot's words

    Rocketbelt's popularity on usually immobile mages, rather than AP bruisers, is giving us flashbacks of the Galeforce days. We're adjusting its stat incentives to make it slightly less appealing when compared to other damage-focused options but also keep it feeling good on its traditional core users that rely on the item for engage. There's also a Ruby Crystal in its build path that didn't exist in days where the item built out of Kindlegem and was a little more clunky.

  3. Patch 25.102025-05-13

    • Health350to300
