Rod of Ages balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Rod of Ages in 3 patches. The latest is patch 25.14, published 2025-07-15.

  1. Patch 25.142025-07-15

    • Mana400to500
    • Mana per Stack20to30
    • Maximum Mana600to800
    Why, in Riot's words

    Now that the Rod of Ages craze has passed (what a great time it was), it's time for us to re-investigate how this item is performing. Ultimately, we'd like it if it was clearly good for the really mana-hungry champions out there who need to stack as many resources as possible. As such, we're playing up its scaling and mana-stacking power to make it great on that unique set of champions.

  2. Patch 25.092025-04-29

    • Initial Health400to350
    • Maximum Health500to450
    • Initial Ability Power50to45
    • Maximum Ability Power80to75
    Why, in Riot's words

    Rod of Ages’ new build path has made it overtake mage mana itemization, and as a result, its high durability has slowed down champion interactions below what we think makes for the best gameplay. We think as a whole, mages are rather balanced and we intend to ship a larger pass on mage itemization to make sure all AP items are worthy of purchasing in an upcoming patch, but right now we want to tap the newly-popular Rod of Ages to make sure bursty champions can attack more normal-sized health pools.

  3. Patch 25.072025-04-01

    • Eternity Mana Restored from Damage Taken7%to10% (Rog of Ages will also receive the same change)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Adjusting the Eternity effect to match the Catalyst buff above.
