How Gathering Storm works

Sorcery · Row 3

Gathering Storm grants adaptive AP or AD every 10 minutes: 8 AP or 5 AD at 10 min, rising to 48 AP or 29 AD at 30 min and 168 AP or 101 AD at 60 min.

  • The bonus grows on a fixed schedule, so it gives nothing in the first 10 minutes and the most in long games.
  • It does not depend on kills or farm, so it scales even if you fall behind.
  • Pick it on late-game scaling champions who expect the game to go past 30 minutes.
