We’re making some targeted nerfs to meter gain, Teemo, and Ahri before the holiday break.

2XKO Hotfix: 1.0.3 (Dec  1, 2025)

Hey up-back enjoyers. A quick heads up for y’all: here at Riot, we go on holiday break at the end of the year. That means we don’t have balance patches planned from now until January 2026.&nbsp;Based on our data and the routes people have found in the past few weeks, we don’t want to leave Teemo in his current state for that long. So, we’re doing a hotfix to get some adjustments (originally made for the January balance patch) out a bit earlier. This should be live at 1:00pm PT on Dec 1, 2025. Check out the 1.0.3 hotfix changes below.&nbsp;<h1 style="text-align: center;">System Changes</h1><h2>Core Rules</h2>Spending meter has not been enough of a decision, especially for champs that can use multiple supers per combo. The meter gain adjustment in 1.0.1 didn’t quite go far enough, and we think this update will reduce the power of our biggest meter-spamming abusers.Meter gain reductions<ul><li>Meter gain penalty for spending meter in a combo increased from 25% to 75%.</li></ul>Bug Fix<ul><li>Walking backwards in certain situations no longer causes you to enter block animation for an extended period of time.</li></ul><h1 style="text-align: center;">Champion Adjustments</h1>This is a hotfix, so we’re only making changes to two champions. Our January patch will include adjustments to the whole cast.

We’re reducing damage on advanced combo routes to help bring her in line.<ul><li>Orb of Deception (:2xko_S1: Super)&nbsp;<ul><li>Orb explosion damage reduced by 40. It was 115 and is now 75.</li><li>Damage increased by 5 on each hit on the non-hold version. It was 25 per hit, and is now 30.<ul><li>Ahri’s S1 super at the end of long combos was doing too much damage for our liking. This should tone down her damage for advanced players.</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Mid-air charged :2xko_H:
<ul><li>Damage reduced by 5. It was 85 and is now 80.</li></ul></li></ul>

His specials didn’t have enough recovery and were difficult to interact with, which was leading to stalled game states and aggressively long combos. We’re removing power from special moves that are overperforming to help develop clearer counterplay and bring his power level more in-line with other champs. Special nerfs<ul><li>Noxious Trap (:2xko_S2:)<ul><li>Mushrooms can now be hit while Teemo is throwing them.<ul><li>Having mushrooms visible but not hittable led to unclear counterplay. We’re making mushrooms hittable after they start their downward descent on startup (12 frames after being performed) to help make the rules around when you can hit mushrooms clearer.</li></ul></li><li>Mushroom aerial hurtbox size has been slightly increased.</li><li>Mushroom hurtboxes are now taller while being activated.<ul><li>All champions can use :2xko_L: or other standing normals to destroy them during this state. This means you can now hit mushrooms before they hit you.</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Mid-air Sharpshooting Scout (:2xko_S1:)<ul><li>After using this move, Teemo will no longer be able to perform another action until landing.</li><li>Landing recovery reduced by 4 frames. It was 10 frames and is now 6.<ul><li>Teemo can no longer avoid landing recovery when using mid-air Sharpshooting Scout.</li><li>Sharpshooting Scout was too difficult to counterplay and too spammable. Teemo will not be able to fire off as many slingshots, and he’ll be at more risk while doing so.</li></ul></li><li>Teemo now has a larger custom hurtbox while performing this move.<ul><li>Teemo is now easier to hit when performing Sharpshooting Scout during startup and recovery.</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Bandle Dash (:2xko_forward::2xko_S1:)<ul><li>No longer ignores minimum damage scaling.</li><li>Uncharged version:<ul><li>Damage reduced by 20. It was 130 and is now 110.</li></ul></li><li>Charged version:<ul><li>Damage reduced by 20. It was 150 and is now 130.</li></ul></li><li>Bandle Dash was doing too much damage, especially after Noxious Surprise (:2xko_S2: Super). This brings it more in-line with other champions.</li></ul></li><li>Mid-air Bandle Dash (:2xko_forward::2xko_S1:)<ul><li>After using this move, Teemo will no longer be able to perform another action until landing.</li><li>Landing recovery reduced by 1 frame.&nbsp;<ul><li>Teemo can no longer avoid landing recovery when using mid-air Bandle Dash.</li></ul></li><li>Hit stun decay of final hit now scales with combos, up to 50% of max hit stun decay. Previously, it did not scale with combos.</li><li>Uncharged version only:<ul><li>Hit stun of final hit increased by 5. It was 31 and is now 36.&nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>Charged version only:<ul><li>Reduced damage of final hit from 60 to 55. The move now does 130 damage total, when not accounting for combo scaling.&nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>Advanced combos that used Mid-air Bandle Dash were too easy to access and too loopable. These changes are designed to let mid-air Bandle Dash be used early in combos, but reduce loops and overall damage.</li></ul></li></ul>Super nerfs<ul><li>Noxious Surprise (:2xko_S2: Super)<ul><li>Final hit damage reduced by 10. It was 80 and is now 70.</li><li>Now has correct minimum damage scaling. It was 55 and is now 45.<ul><li>This move was doing far too much damage.</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>Combo length nerfs<ul><li>:2xko_down_forward::2xko_H:<ul><li>Minimum hit stun decreased from 50% of max hit stun decay to 40% of max hit stun decay.</li></ul></li><li>Tag Launcher (:2xko_down::2xko_T:)<ul><li>Startup increased by 3 frames. It was 12 and is now 15.</li><li>Both changes to :2xko_down_forward::2xko_H: and :2xko_down::2xko_T: disable using :2xko_down_forward::2xko_H: into Tag Launcher late into combos, while still maintaining :2xko_down_forward::2xko_H: into S1 super, Ultimate, and aerial normals.</li></ul></li></ul>Buffs<ul><li>:2xko_forward: throw&nbsp;<ul><li>Now scales combo length slightly less.<ul><li>This change is very minor, but it allows :2xko_down_forward::2xko_H: to combo into Tag Launcher (:2xko_down::2xko_T:) and other routes off :2xko_forward: throw midscreen, and compensates for Teemo’s other routing changes.</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Tag Launcher (:2xko_down::2xko_T:) now travels farther forward and has a slightly larger hitbox.<ul><li>Tag Launcher is now easier to combo from :2xko_down_forward::2xko_H:.</li></ul></li></ul>Bug fix<ul><li>Mid-air :2xko_M: can now be properly air thrown.&nbsp;</li></ul>Miscellaneous<ul><li>Teemo Combo Trial: Expert 1 had been adjusted.</li></ul>
