While the League of Legends World Championship is in full swing, the Riot home balancing team is continuing to work on champion adjustments and item updates. The preseason is soon to come, when Riot makes the really big and mind-boggling changes every year. In the next patch, the new rune system finally awaits us "Runes Reforged" and the complete Revision of the Mastery system.
League of Legends or League of Rauchschwenker?
Just the one Glowing smoke swivel / Ardent Censer, which is built in 99% of all games at the moment, is subject to constant changes. The world championship shows how strong the smoke swivel combination is on a support champion like Janna.
The developers' explanation of the change:
“The Glowing Smoke Pivot has been making waves (and winds) in the lower lane for some time now. In order for the purchase decisions of enchanters - and thus also the supporter game - to remain sustainable, it must have clearer weak points. These changes weaken the Glowing Smoke Swivel at the beginning. So it is not now always the best decision for enchanters to buy as soon as possible. "
Attack speed improvement from 20–35 % ⇒ 10–30 %
Magic damage improvement on hit from 20–35 ⇒ 5–20
Champion revisions
For the champions, the relatively overpowering tanks such as Galio, Sejuani and Rammus are being reworked. The U-faction with Udyr and Urgot is also in focus to be a little more reliable in the late game.
With the special game modes come the Doom bots back. From October 26th until November 7th players can face the horror bots of death.
3 new skins in the Death vow style are available until November 27th, 2017 before they land in the treasury.
