2.1.40

Longer Ultimate attachment time and better Skill 1 uptime while attached, but reduced Passive MS and much higher Ultimate cooldown with cooldown now starting immediately after cast.

Skill 1 damage is made much higher and more consistent, now hitting each target only once.

Improved scaling via Skill 2 granting longer freeze duration based on Magic Power.

Ultimate becomes less punishing on miss and more rewarding on hit, with much higher HP-based bonus damage.

Stronger, cheaper sustained healing with longer defense buff duration; Ultimate's enhanced form now doubles the defense increase.

Ultimate is available far more often and now grants damage reduction during the dive, with slightly faster dive speed.

Skill 2 becomes less reliable with shorter taunt unless fully channeled and reduced minimum dash distance.

Reduced early-mid Skill 1 damage and removed extra damage to minions/creeps to lower lane and farm pressure.

Loses control immunity from Passive while casting (though casts can't be interrupted), but gains control immunity while charging Ultimate.

Reduced enhanced basic attack Magic scaling and turret damage, but increased Skill 2 shield Magic scaling to shift power toward survivability.

Shorter Skill 2 reach but much lower cooldowns on Skill 2 and Ultimate to increase overall cast frequency.

Ultimate's direct explosion damage now scales with Physical Defense instead of Magic Power to better reward tanky builds.

More frequent Passive proc for better early-mid poke.

More frequent personal shielding plus higher Skill 1 and Ultimate impact, but reduced passive ally shield uptime (now primarily via skills rather than periodic).

Improved sustained damage via better Skill 2 uptime and higher Lightning Storm extra damage.

Longer poke reach and bigger detonation area by increasing Skill 1/2 range and the post-devour AOE size.

Improved scaling for clones via Passive bonuses and a flat, higher Ultimate movement speed bonus.

Damage is shifted from Skill 2 into Skill 1, increasing poke while reducing control-skill damage.

Lower cooldowns on Skill 2 and Ultimate to enable more frequent combos.

Stronger healing scaling and much better Magic Power-to-movement-speed conversion, plus a lower Ultimate cooldown.

Faster Skill 2 engage and much higher Ultimate base damage to help secure kills.

Improved late-game damage profile and usability via lower mana cost and cooldown on Skill 1 with adjusted wave damages.

Less sustained control and mana regen from Passive/Soul Snare pacing, but higher Skill 2 damage and faster Ultimate Soul Snare stacking.

Stronger early-mid combat through higher attack growth and a revamped Passive damage/trigger, offset by removing Skill 2's post-cast basic attack.
