Partially reverted Julian's Jungle efficiency adjustments to help him gain momentum sooner.
Passive - Smith's Legacy BUFF
Enhanced Basic Attack Damage Against Creeps: 75% >> 85%
We aim to balance creep-clearing speeds across all Junglers. Currently, Julian's creep-clearing speed is a bit too fast.
[Passive]
New Effect: Enhanced Basic Attacks only deal 75% damage to Creeps.
We noticed that the Rose Gold Meteor changes were overly beneficial for Julian, but we don't want to reduce his original strength.Meanwhile, we found that Julian's overall combat style is more like an Assassin, so we adjusted his role.
Role
ADJUST
Fighter/Mage >> Assassin/Fighter
Slightly nerfed Julian's burst potential in early and mid game.
Skill 1 - Enhanced Scythe
Enhanced Scythe's Sustained Damage: 90-210 >> 80-180

Passive - Smith's Legacy
Enhanced Basic Attack Base Damage: 75 → 100
Skill 1 - Enhanced Scythe
Base Damage: 380-700 → 420-700
We want to speed up Julian's jungling and combat before Lv.3, while allowing him to be more flexible with his Basic Attacks between skills and reducing the damage of his enhanced Basic Attacks in the late game
Passive - Smith's Legacy
Casting the enhanced skill makes his Basic Attacks deal more damage for 5s →
Casting any skills enhances his Basic Attacks for 2s, the effect duration can stack.
Enhanced Basic Attack's Magic Power Bonus: 120% →
100%
Slightly increased the cast range to make the Skills 2-3-1 combo easier to use.
Skill 3 - Chain
Slightly increased the cast range to match the range of his enhanced Skill 3.
Slightly reduced Julian's skill cooldown.
Passive - Smith's Legacy
Cooldown: 10-6.5s → 9-6s
Even after numerous nerfs, Julian still possessed an immense ability to snowball out of control. We have the following changes to remedy his overtuned burst potential.
Skill 2
Sword
Damage: 300-420+48% Magic Power → 400-540+80% Magic Power
Enhanced Sword
Damage: 90-130+20% Magic Power → 60-80+12% Magic Power
Lifesteal Ratio: 50% → 100%
Skill 3
Chain
Damage: 200-280+50% Magic Power → 300-440+100% Magic Power
Enhanced Chain
Continuous Damage: 64-96+20% Magic Power → 40-60+10% Magic Power
Julian was still rather durable in the early game despite the previous nerfs on him.
Passive - Smith's Legacy
All Skills' Cooldowns: 7s → 10-6.5s (decreases as he levels up)
Julian's remained a force to be reckoned with early on. We're hitting his damage in the early to mid game to prevent him from easily snowballing and getting out of control.
Skill 1 (Enhanced) - Enhanced Scythe
Base Sustained Damage: 80-220 → 65-185
Skill 2 (Enhanced) - Enhanced Sword
Base Sustained Damage: 102-150 → 90-130
Skill 3 (Enhanced) - Enhanced Chain
Base Sustained Damage: 80-112 → 64-96
Julian's still overperforming in the early to mid game, so we're toning down his sustainability and the damage of his enhanced skills.
Passive - Smith's Legacy
Extra Magic Lifesteal Per Hit: 20% → 15%
Skill 1 - Enhanced Scythe
Base Damage: 100-240 → 80-220
Skill 3 - Enhanced Chain
Base Initial Damage: 300-420 → 250-370
Left unfettered, Julian's arsenal of weapons has proved to be dreadfully lethal. We're nerfing his overall sustainability and base damage to allow opponents better room for counterplay.
Passive - Smith's Legacy
Spell Vamp: 25% → 20%
Skill 2 - Sword
Reduced the Lifesteal efficiency to match that of other AoE skills
Skill 2 (Enhanced) - Enhanced Sword
