Patch History[]

Patch 9.3

Cost increased. Attack damage and armor penetration increased.

Making Last Whisper more effective as a component item while building into Lord Dominik's Regards or Mortal Reminder.

COST : [1300] 1450 gold
ATTACK DAMAGE : [10] 20
ARMOR PENETRATION : [10%] 20% total armor penetration


v8.11
Bonus armor penetration shifted to total armor penetration (and decreased).

The problem with an armor penetration item that only feels good against armor stackers is that most champs don't feel good about getting it early to ensure their damage stays relevant as enemies build armor (they want to be killing squishy targets instead). But once tanks really armor up, damage dealers feel bad if they didn't purchase Last Whisper earlier. We're moving Last Whisper into a middle ground so it'll still scale against tanks but feel like less of a dead-end against other squishies.

ARMOR PENETRATION : [35% bonus] 10% total armor


v7.9

ARMOR PENETRATION : [45% bonus armor] 35% bonus armor


v7.4
Armor penetration up, attack damage down.

For marksmen, reacting to tanky threats required a 2700-gold investment in the form of Lord Dominik’s Regards or Mortal Reminder. The problem: “build an end-game item” doesn’t pass muster as a ‘reaction’, given how long it takes to bank that much coin. We’re letting Last Whisper serve as that reactive purchase all on its own, at the expense of effectiveness against targets without armor to pierce.

BUILD PATH : [Pickaxe + 425 gold (1300 total)] Long Sword + 950 gold (1300 total)
BONUS ARMOR PENETRATION : [30%] 45%
ATTACK DAMAGE : [25] 10


v5.22

Simply put, the answer of when to buy Last Whisper previously was 'pretty much always'. While certainly better when the enemy was armor-stacking, the total armor penetration meant it was always a sizeable and necessary damage increase in any situation. Last Whisper now occupies a reactive slot, letting you forego it when the enemy's just as reckless as you are.

TOTAL cost : [2300 gold] 1300 gold
BUILD path : Pickaxe + 425 gold
ATTACK damage : [40] 25
armor penetration : [35% total armor penetration] 30% bonus armor penetration
