SYSTEMS:

  • Region Portals are a new mechanic that allows players to vote for one of three Portals that alter the game’s rules. There are 30 Portals in total and the voting is random but weighted by the votes.
  • Legends are another new mechanic that allows players to choose one of 15 unique Legends that represent different playstyles. Legends will influence the leftmost of the three Augment offerings and have different power levels depending on the stage.
  • Econ changes include lower XP costs, higher base player damage in Stage 4, and lower gold/XP Augment power. These changes are meant to balance the increased econ from new Region Portals and Augments and make Legendary units more rare and impactful.
  • URF Overtime buff is an existing system that has been adjusted to give more Attack Speed, AP, reduced CC duration, healing/shielding reduction, and increased affection towards marine mammals. This buff is meant to give Melee and AD carries more power in the late game.
  • Champion pool changes are another existing system that has been tweaked to decrease the number of each champion in the pool. This change is meant to make it harder for multiple players to build similar teams and encourage more diversity and adaptation.

UI CHANGES:

  • The Inspect Panel is a new feature that allows players to see detailed information about any champion, such as their ability, recommended positioning, range, current items, item role tags, stats, and a quick sell button. This feature is especially useful for beginners and works for Emblems as well.
  • The Trait Panel is an improved feature that allows players to see the traits of individual champions in a trait. This feature is helpful for players who are not familiar with the new set’s champions and synergies.
  • The Tooltip Symbols are another improved feature that shows symbols to annotate scaling in champion abilities and items. These symbols are also color coded to indicate the type of scaling. This feature is useful for players who want to optimize their builds and understand the math behind the game.

LARGE CHANGES:

  • Augments are mostly refreshed with 240 new ones and 36 returning ones. The existing ones are mostly nerfed to account for the increased econ and power in the new set. Built Different is also nerfed with Health and AS reductions.
  • Items are also changed with Cursed Blade being removed and Sparring Gloves and its combinations being added. Deathcap, Chain Vest, and Guardbreaker are also adjusted in their stats and effects.
  • API policy is updated to restrict 3rd party sites from sharing data on Legend win rates and Augment win rates at each stage. This change is aimed at encouraging more experimentation and diversity in the game and preventing players from relying on statistics to make decisions.
