Lecio is buffed, increasing the shell's attack power, but the developers deliberately don't want to return the 25-yard range.

The official server received a long-awaited update, but the content was unremarkable, mainly consisting of hero adjustments. The highlight was Lu Ban's upgrade, which also included a separate event that required players to enter matches to experience the new skills and claim rewards. The focus for marksmen was on Lecio, who, after several seasons of development, was relegated to the frontier alongside Meng Ya. In Season 43, the spotlight shone on the sluggish marksmen, including Lu Ban No. 7, Hou Yi, and even the Yuanliu marksmen, who were pioneering new paths in high-level matches. These so-called mutated monsters suddenly became ignored.

Lesio has been buffed, is he poised for a comeback? Let's delve into those seemingly insignificant stats and see if they can rewrite his destiny. First, his first skill has been buffed, a very direct and brutal change. The key takeaway is the extra AD, which isn't noticeable in the early game but becomes powerful in the mid-to-late game. Overall, we'll see how strong he becomes after level four. His item build remains largely unchanged; he can follow the standard build of Shadow Blade, Infinity Edge, Dawnbreaker, Blade of Despair, and Sunbow, prioritizing critical strike chance and attack speed.

All eight cannonballs gain bonus attack power.

It's worth mentioning that the extra 10% physical attack effectively adds 33.9 attack power in the late game. Three cannon shots total 101.7 points, rounded up to 102 points. The second change is a 20% increase in the ultimate's base damage. It's a headshot attack with five consecutive shots, each dealing 67.8 attack power. If it hits the same target, subsequent shots will reduce the damage to 25%, similar to Xiao Qiao's fan or meteor shower. In a team fight, two skills with an execute effect would add up to approximately 236 attack power.

This buff looks quite significant, but whether it can shake off the previous criticisms is hard to say. Experts, however, believe it's just a superficial change. They point out that the reason Lecio was eliminated was his range. The two consecutive jumps were considered slightly excessive, and the 25-yard range reduction was problematic. New players don't understand how to control the distance when jumping. Even though a light fog should be generated after jumping, making him invisible and untargetable, he was forced back into the line of sight due to insufficient range. This so-called "gathering the view" either resulted in tanking the tower or going into the tower.

Before experiencing it firsthand, you might want to refer to the data. The appearance rate in each rank is around 5%, and the win rate exceeds 50%. It's not so weak that it loses points. The moment you're greedy for kills, that thought will kill you. Overall, its ability to reap rewards is quite good.
