SEASON 2023: SPLIT 2 RANKED REWARDS


For those who earned it, Victorious Tryndamere will be the reward for the 2023 Split 2 season! We mentioned it in one of our recent Dev Updates but this skin will be a little delayed so you should expect him to appear on your accounts in a few patches. We wanted to make sure we had a unique skin for each split so we opted to take some time to ensure those that participated in split 2 received a different reward than split 1. We’ll add it to the notes on the patch that should happen as well, right now we’re targeting patch 14.4, and we’ll update you if anything changes there.

As for the remaining rewards (of which you can see the details on our Ranked Rewards support article) those should be delivered onto your accounts in 14.2 and we’ve validated the results.

Void Gameplay Changes

In case you missed this one as well, we released a dev blog late last year to offer players a helping hand when it comes to learning about the Void changes coming this patch, /dev: Cat Cults, Rift Mechs, and Baron’s Revamp here! If you’re interested in how we refined these changes OR if the idea of seeing 11 adorable cats combining their forces to seal Rift Herald appeals to you, give it a read!

Disclaimer: Void Event not included

VOIDGRUBS, VOIDMITES, AND THE HUNGER OF THE VOID



We’ve got some brand new residents moving into the Baron pit this season: the Voidgrubs and Voidmites. These Voidborn beasties are a new horde objective that will be taking the place of the first Rift Herald each game. Our goal with Voidgrubs was to provide tower pushing pressure in contrast to dragon buff's ramping threat, but spread it out more evenly across all lanes. We also wanted to give players gradual, persistent power throughout the entire game, as opposed to the old Shelly whose power was more instant and would sometimes simply end the laning phase. In addition, its multiple spawn nature means that mid or top laners who have pushed out their lane can sneak one without needing to commit the full time it would take to clear an entire epic objective. But let’s jump into the details!
  • Three Voidgrubs spawn at 5 minutes into the game.
  • Each Voidgrub will spawn 4 Voidmites every 12 seconds in combat.
  • Voidgrubs can respawn once per game as each one has their own individual respawn timer of 4 minutes, so feel free to just take one and walk away.
  • On death, Voidgrubs will give other nearby Voidgrubs a 25% Maximum Health + 25% Missing Health shield that decays over 10 seconds.
  • Killing one Voidgrub grants the player and allied teammates one stack of the Hunger of the Void Buff, which causes your non-proc attacks to deal bonus true damage to structures over 4 seconds. This damage will scale with the number of Voidgrubs slain at a rate of 4 (melee) / 3 (ranged) true damage every 0.5 seconds per stack.
  • Once your team hits 5 stacks of the buff, you will spawn 1 Voidmite to help when attacking towers (15 second cooldown). At 6 stacks the amount of Voidmites is increased to 2. Voidmites summoned by players have the same stats as a melee minion, but with 40% less health and 50% more movespeed.
  • Voidgrubs despawn at 13:45 in-game time (or 13:55 if Voidgrubs are in combat) to make way for Rift Herald.
  • The first Voidgrub taken per spawn group* will count as an epic takedown reward for the first one you participate in killing. For example, Cho’Gath can get one epic monster stack from the first Voidgrub he kills in the first spawn group, and then one more if he kills a Voidgrub that spawned in the second group. (*The Voidgrubs that spawn at 5 minutes are the first spawn group, and once slain the Voidgrubs that replace them are the second spawn group.)

VOIDGRUBS

  • Health: 250 (+250 per minute of game time)
  • Attack Damage: 10 (+2.5 per minute of game time)
  • Attack Speed: 0.5
  • Armor: 0
  • Magic Resistance: 0
  • Movement Speed: 350
  • Attack Range: 500 units
  • Experience: 75 (+2% per level over 4*) (*Level is calculated as the average level of champions in the game, rounded up)
  • Gold Given on Takedown: 20 gold to the killer + 10 gold per player (including killer)

VOIDMITES (WHEN SUMMONED BY VOIDGRUBS)

  • Health: 20 (+40 per minute of game time)
  • Attack Damage: 6 (+0.5 per minute of game time)
  • Attack Speed: 2
  • Armor: 0
  • Magic Resistance: 0
  • Movement Speed: 420
  • Attack Range: 125
  • Experience: 0
  • Gold Given on Takedown: 1 gold to killer

REVAMPED RIFT HERALD



Rift Herald is back and they have a brand new, Voidgrub-inspired look! But this isn’t just a surface level change, because Herald also has some changes under the hood… err, shell?
  • If you or an allied teammate summon the Rift Herald, one player (either the user or a teammate) can right click the Herald in order to hop onto Shelly. Right clicking any direction while channeling onto Herald will allow the player to pick where Herald will start charging. While charging, players can steer the Rift Herald while she charges forward (similar to a Sion ultimate).
  • The Rift Herald receives 1 use of Charge when summoned which is consumed as soon as a player hops onto Herald (or when Herald automatically Charges a tower unpiloted). In the event a nearby enemy tower or inhibitor is destroyed, Herald will receive an additional Charge. This Charge (and cooldown) is displayed on Rift Herald’s health bar.
  • The Charge lasts for up to 14 seconds, starting at 150 movement speed and ramping up to 600 movement speed over 5 seconds (this is increased by 75% when charging towards an enemy tower). The charge will end upon collision with a structure or terrain, reducing the Herald’s health by 66% and ejecting the player 200 (+75% of player’s attack range) units in the opposite direction of the charge. In the event Herald’s Charge hits a live tower the ejection distance is increased to 700 (+75% of player’s attack range) units.
  • If a player steers the Rift Herald through enemies (including champions), the enemy will receive 250 true damage and be knocked airborne.
  • If a player steers the Rift Herald into an enemy structure a bonus 2000 (+0-750 based on average champion level) damage will be dealt to the structure, 5 (+ the number of Hunger of the Void stacks of the user) Voidmites will be spawned to attack the tower, and the player will gain a temporary shield.
  • NEWRift Herald now has Baron’s Gaze which reduces damage taken from the last enemy attacked by 50%.
  • Empowered Recall: The holder gains Empowered Recall until the Eye is used/expires ⇒ All allied champions who assisted in killing Herald gain a single completed use of Empowered Recall
  • Sharing (Gold) is Caring: Rift Herald grants any gold it gains from turrets/turret plates to the player that summoned them (if they weren't around) ⇒ Rift Herald grants any gold it gains from turrets/turret plates to all champions who assisted in killing the Herald
  • NEWAuto Cast: Upon expiring, the Eye of the Herald will auto-cast with no channel time and summon Rift Herald. In the event your champion is currently dead, the Herald will spawn in your team’s fountain.

Rift Herald (Note: Unchanged)

  • Health: 7125-14250 (based on level)
  • Attack Damage: 99.5-250 (based on level)
  • Attack Speed: 0.4
  • Armor: 60
  • Magic Resistance: 50
  • Movement Speed: 325
  • Attack Range: 250
  • Experience: 306-320 (based on level)
  • Gold Given on Takedown: 100 gold to killer, 100 local gold

VOIDBORN SENTINEL, BRAMBLEBACK, AND…. SCUTTLER?



Once Baron Nashor emerges onto the Rift at 20 minutes, the next time Blue Sentinel and Red Brambleback respawn they will rise again as Voidborn Sentinel and Voidborn Brambleback respectively with 30% more health. This transformation also comes with increased durability making them harder to take down, but fret not because this extra effort is worth it! Now, once slain, Blue and Red will grant their buffs to the entire team of the player that takes them down (excluding any allies that were dead).

Speaking of Blue and Red, their respective buffs are also getting some changes! (Note: These adjustments apply to both the base Sentinel and Brambleback as well as their Voidborn counterparts.
  • Crest of Insight (Blue Buff): 5/10/15/20 Haste 10 Haste
  • Crest of Cinders (Red Buff): 0.5/1/3/5% Max Health Regeneration (levels 1/4/6/11) 0.5/1/3% Max Health Regeneration (levels 1/4/6)
  • When the buffs become Voidborn they no longer transfer to opponents upon the owner’s death (mainly to prevent giant messes with everyone having buffs all the time)

But we also have a non-void related update for our favorite Sentinel and Brambleback! Introducing Draconic Sentinel and Brambleback, these versions appear once the Elemental Rift is locked in as the 2nd drake is slain. Unlike their Voidborn counterparts though, no respawn is required for the buff to become Draconic!
  • Upon death, Draconic Sentinel and Brambleback will give the champion that slayed them a version of their respective buff (buffs unchanged) and drop a duplicate of their buff at their original spawn location. Only one buff will be shareable with allies while the other must be claimed by an allied champion with a jungle item in their inventory (unchanged vs live).
  • Starting at 20 minutes, once slain the Draconic Brambleback and Sentinel will respawn as their Voidborn counterparts.
  • Blue/Red Buff sharing mechanics are no longer tied to Jungle item progression.

Similarly, after 20 minutes once Rift Scuttler rises again after being slain, she will be Voidborn Scuttler. When slain, Voidborn Scuttler will send out a massive Scryer’s Bloom effect, revealing all champions and wards in a large surrounding area. Similar to Scryer’s, all wards revealed this way will be reduced to 1 HP.

BARON NASHOR



Would it really be a set of Void-related changes without Baron Nashor himself? It’s been quite a while since Baron last received a visual update, let alone one with three new, terrifying forms! Introducing them from left to right, we have the All-Seeing Baron, Hunting Baron, and finally the Territorial Baron.

The Baron dance is one as old as time, but over the years, the Baron fight has gotten somewhat stale with players hyper optimizing every aspect of it. It's also not aged well as our premier epic monster, the kind of monster that makes you say “Wow that’s an epic monster.” Our goal here is to update Baron's visuals while freshening up his fight a bit using new terrain and spells so that it takes a bit of new mastery and adaptability game to game.

Each form of Baron Nashor will have a unique move at their disposal, so make sure to prepare accordingly!
  • Hunting Baron: Baron calls a pillar of lightning over every nearby enemy. After 0.7 seconds they begin to strike, delayed by 0.1 second per strike. These deal 15% of the target’s current health.
  • All-Seeing Baron: Baron summons rifts toward the two furthest enemies he can see within 2200 units. These last for 3 seconds and deal 150 magic damage on the first hit, and 50 damage for every subsequent hit.
  • Territorial Baron: Baron reaches out, after 1.5 seconds he grabs all enemies in a cone, pulling them 300 units and dealing 75 magic damage to them.

Baron Nashor

  • Health: 11400 (+180 per minute from game start)
  • Attack Damage: 350 (+ 10 per minute from spawn) (Note: AD will cap at 520)
  • Attack Speed: 0.625
  • Armor: 120
  • Magic Resistance: 70
  • Movement Speed: 300 lol
  • Attack Range: 955
  • Experience: 600 to all contributors plus 800 distributed among nearby allied teammates
  • Gold Given on Takedown: 25 gold to killer, 300 per allied player

BARON TERRAIN VARIATIONS


Fighting around Baron has been essentially unchanged since Baron got his last VGU, so we thought it was time to add a little bit more interest to his fight game to game. While Baron is still a fun and interesting objective to have on the map, over time players have effectively “solved” how to take him down. And where’s the fun in that? This should help shake things up between games so now each game you’ll be challenged to think about exactly how you can take advantage of each Baron pit.

Hunting Baron Pit



This is the baseline Baron pit, but why fix what isn’t broken? His new spell in this pit punishes grouped up enemies so make sure to distance properly.

Territorial Baron Pit



A rifft on the baseline pit, it's easier to disengage from enemies in this variation, but flanks are also faster. His new spell in this pit can punish heavy grouping to disincentivize grouping on a single side.

All-Seeing Baron Pit



This is the most different from the pit of today, it's much riskier to access Baron from the river in this variation with new strong flank and flee angles. His new spell in this pit goes far and controls zones locking up some of the free new space that he’s made here.

Terrain Changes

In case you missed it we released a dev blog late last year digging into these terrain changes, /Dev: Season 2024 Map Changes here! We recommend checking out the entire thing if you’re curious about how we landed on these changes.

We’ve got a few different goals with the map changes this season. At the highest level, our goal is to make lanes more fair across sides. Red and blue sides have very different advantages in a lane with respect to how to gank them, how fights play out, how you can posture against the brush or river, etc. These differences will still exist, but in lesser ways. For example, top lane red side won’t feel nearly so exposed when pushing up, so you don’t need to be a safer laner to exist when the champ select gods put you red side.

The second goal of the map changes was specifically around making solo lanes a bit more protected from junglers, or roamers generally. Ganking as a primary early game output was just too strong in most cases. Each lane had a slightly different reason for their changes however. Let’s take a quick dive into those now!

TOP SIDE



Top lane is in a constant push and pull between players wanting more influence and output over the rest of the map in the lane, and also being substantially less influenced by the other roles, especially early on. For most players, the lane simultaneously feels entirely at the mercy of your jungler (or roaming support in higher skill levels) and also unable to do anything to win the game except with major leads.

With these changes we’re substantially reducing the ability for other lanes to affect top in the early game, letting the 1v1 fight really shine. It’s not like the jungler won’t be able to gank at all, so still watch out. We’re also shifting top brush into a pixel in the center of the river so it’s less side-skewed and substantially more powerful when contested. It tends to be correct to ward outside of the river brush on live in many cases and while this still remains true to an extent, this brush is closer to an optimal warding position and is less potent for ganking than before.

Also, an extension of the jungler influence on top lane was early Rift Herald. More often than not, Rift Herald was dropped in top lane (it’s closest to her lair after all), and she absolutely destroys any laning phase that might exist. What’s a tower to a crab god? Shelly regularly invalidated laning phases by destroying towers and adding giant influxes of gold to a specific laner, usually entirely at the jungler’s whim. We’ve seen that quite often both top laners are dissatisfied with lanes breaking apart this early—the behind player being put into the dumpster, and the ahead player not having any more time to play with their lead. By pushing back Rift Herald, we’re intending to substantially reduce the volatility of the late laning phase top lane experience. Dovetailing off the objective space, one of our goals with the new Voidgrubs objective is that top laners will have a lot more agency in affecting the outcome of the early top side objective than before. We’re also making the top side objective more potent for team-wide success than previously so that their early leads can matter more for the team. We’ll go more into the Voidgrubs down below, but overall we’re aiming to give top laners a lane more protected from outside influence while making their lane more important for the team’s overall chances of victory.

MID



Mid lane was a similar set of changes for some slightly different goals. It is the lane (on live) with by far the most access for ganking, and one thing we’ve noticed is that over the years players have learned just how unsafe the lane is for a lot of our more immobile champions without great self-peel. The Zyras and Brands and Karthuses of League have felt like the midlane was no longer able to be their home as more and more high-agency characters appeared and junglers learned just how easy it was to punish these immobile mages.

Our main goal here was to make mid substantially safer for this class of characters at a fundamental level. Opening up midlane to be mage-forward should give us a real role for this class again. The goal is not at all to push assassins out of this lane, just make it more hospitable for immobile characters with respect to their ability to face junglers. They’re still definitely gankable, but should be a bit less so than they are currently.

The other main change for mid was to open up roam paths that are a little bit safer. Each side will have a path players can roam along that requires putting themselves at substantially less risk to get to river or even the respective lane they’re roaming to. We’re pushing out the mid lane brush for the same reasons. Providing mid laners with about 20% more time after seeing an enemy before they can get into actionable range should give substantially less power to early ganks and much more safety to these immobile characters.

Mid lane, at its core, is a lane that requires some amount of roaming to support junglers or side lanes. And in the current state of League, the mid laners who don’t have the agency to safely roam feel invalidated by the role. Altogether our goal here is to lower the requirements to a functional mid laner across champions so that we can support a wider roster of champions there, particularly immobile mages and their like. We are definitely not trying to push champions out of the role though and will definitely be balancing to follow up here, especially since there are surely a number of high-agency mages who will benefit a lot and be overbearing at the start.

BOT SIDE



Bot lane is getting a smaller set of changes visually, but we definitely still expect them to be quite impactful overall. Just like top lane, we’re adding parity across sides so that entrances to lane and brush positions are matched roughly equally across sides.

These changes open up a new gank pathway through bottom red jungle and are among our riskiest changes to the map. We’re reducing gank potency elsewhere while nominally increasing it bot lane, so we’ll be watching this portion of the map very closely to ensure that it’s still reasonable and enjoyable. Red side bot lane is now particularly more vulnerable than before (as opposed to blue side) because it doesn’t have the extra distance created from Dragon pit walls to give more time for responding to action on vision or even just to slightly delay movement from river.

This new gank pathway also doesn’t allow for as easy contesting of vision in its tri brush because of the relatively easier access from river. It’s a difficult spot on the map for us to balance and one we’ll look at closely. The center of river brush should also be more of a focal point to contest as compared to before as it has deeper river control than the old brush and is less side-skewed.

This brush should be substantially worse for ganking red-side bot lane when unwarded, however. On live, the river brush gives near unfettered access to lane and this power is brought down to mitigate the concerns around gankability of red-side bot lane. Notably, this brush does cover access to the red tri brush from river to protect your bot lane from all but the deepest wraparound ganks.

JUNGLE



Finally, we adjusted the geometry in the jungle to support these lane adjustments and add a lot of new interest to Dragon and Baron fights. Access to these epic monster fights on live is relatively easy through a major choke point opposite the monster, or minor chokepoints deeper into river or the jungle further out.

The latest adjustments aim to shift away from a single choke point and focus combat around multiple entries, as well as generally overhaul how these fights play out as this space is quite solved and players are very used to this macro. Contesting should be a little bit more equal across sides as it currently tends to advantage the team who can comfortably engage and escape from an objective.

These adjustments as noted above also do help roaming quite a bit as there’s a safe secondary path for both teams that doesn’t involve any jungle movement. All in all, our goal is that junglers should have a harder time ganking, especially early, but shouldn’t feel like they have no more agency over the game.

Infernal Terrain Changes

Given the terrain changes we’ve introduced in 14.1, we also need to adjust some Drakes so that they’ll play nicely with all of the new walls (or lack thereof). This includes moving a few small walls and brushes for Mountain and Ocean Drake.

However, after we spent so much time building walls across the rift we took a step back to look at Infernal’s map changes again, which led to the following changes:
  • NEWInfernal Cinders spawn randomly on the map in small groups, with a higher likelihood of spawning towards the losing team. Picking up a naturally spawned Infernal Cinder grants a small burst of movement speed and grants an Infernal Cinder stack.
  • NEWInfernal Cinder stacks grant 0.3 Ability Haste per stack. On death, up to 5 Cinders can be maintained, with some of the remainder being dropped on the ground and the rest being destroyed. Cinders dropped from player deaths do not grant the burst of movement speed upon pickup.
  • REMOVEDInfernal Rift will no longer destroy any walls on the Rift.

We wanted to experiment with these changes after considering player feedback about the Infernal Rift being the least interesting in terms of gameplay. Our goal is that this will help us create more interesting map states beyond just terrain changes like the current Hextech and Chemtech. That said, we’ll keep a close eye on how these changes land and how players like them.

Champions

Hwei

Base armor increased.

As players are still learning Hwei, we’re giving him a small bump up in power, primarily for the sake of Hwei’s teammates, who are on the receiving end of a fairly low win rate. Long term, we think Hwei is probably in a very good spot or maybe a little too powerful but we’re tuning him for January, not June. We’ll continue to monitor his performance and make adjustments as needed.

Base Stats

  • Base Armor: 18 ⇒ 21

Vel'Koz

E quality of life adjustments.

Following up on some work from the last patch, we have a few additional quality of life buffs for Vel’Koz’s Tectonic Disruption.

E - Tectonic Disruption

  • Projectile Travel Time: 0.55 seconds (fixed) ⇒ 0.25-0.55 seconds (based on travel distance
  • Not So Fast: Vel’Koz’s E now creates its circular ability indicator 0.25 seconds after the ability was cast instead of immediately after casting

Jungle Damage Adjustments

With the Summoner's Rift map update making ganking generally more difficult, we want to make sure that champions who relied on ganking now have a strong fallback pattern of farming jungle camps. We're adjusting the damage contribution of jungle pets in order to close the gap between very fast clears like Graves or Karthus and slower clears like... pretty much every tank. The percent bonus damage from pets does not work on epic monsters, so a new cap has been added against epic monsters that roughly matches last patch's DPS tuning, since pet DPS is increasing otherwise.

As with all changes like this, it's hard to get a perfect read on every single possible jungler, plus the rest of the patch will certainly shake up champion power levels as well. We'll make sure to revisit these numbers if clears feel bad, but these changes should overall be a buff to mid-game clears for all the champions who were otherwise too slow to participate.
  • Champion Bonus Damage to Non-Epic Monsters: 42% ⇒ 25%
  • Pet Damage per Second: 15.5 (+10% bonus AD) (+12% AP) (+20% bonus Armor) (+20% bonus Magic Resistance) (+ 3% bonus Health) true damage ⇒ 20-90 (based on level) (+10% bonus AD) (+12% AP) (+20% bonus Armor) (+20% bonus Magic Resistance) (+ 3% bonus Health) true damage
  • NEWPet Damage per Second Cap vs Epic Monsters: 16-40 (based on level)

Items

As of patch 14.1 we are officially retiring Mythic items from League. If you’re curious about why we’re removing Mythic items, I’d recommend checking out this Quick Gameplay Thoughts here or if you’re more interested in some of the thinking and goals behind the updated item system you can check out one of our recent dev blogs, /Dev: 2024 Item Changes here!

To summarize, our main goal with this update is to reduce the power of items that were previously Mythic by converting them to Legendary which, while making ex-Mythic items less powerful, will allow for each champion’s unique gameplay to shine. Additionally, we want to ensure that each class is properly supported (like having Assassins items be early game skewed or giving mages better gold scaling) and to make each spell cast feel more important to players by lowering the overall amount of Haste items give.

We’ve got a lot of item descriptions to cover below, so see you on the other side! (Note: All Mythic item passives have been removed.)

Assassin Items

In previous Seasons AD Assassins tended to purchase one or two Lethality items before pivoting into other options in the AD system, particularly fighter items. We believe Assassins are at their best when they're highly lethal but highly fragile anti-carry, and when they have fighter builds they tend to not be satisfying their own fantasies on top of being more frustrating and harder to deal with for enemies.

Our goals with these changes are to remove some of the more potent defensive tools assassins were accessing (like Duskblade or Eclipse) and open them up to stronger snowballing through the Assassin system with the lethality purchases. We've also removed their ability to stack Black Cleaver and Last Whisper items so that Assassins don't end up as premium killers of bruisers and reasonably effective against tanks as we believe armor should be an effective purchase into Assassins.

Support Items and Quests

With the 2024 season, we saw a great opportunity to transform the Support Quest Item system. The old support items didn't bring a lot of customization or flavor to your builds. And despite being objectively powerful, they weren’t satisfying as some champions or play styles were underserved. Enter a universal support item that branches into five. Now, with the choice of five distinct passives to choose from, support items will be able to cover a broader range of champions and playstyles. Additionally, these changes should also help your upgrade moment feel more engaging and powerful.

These upgrades were designed to be powerful, as they’re typically acquired around the time you finish your first item. This one and a half item power spike was actually designed to create a period of time within the early to mid game where supports can have their biggest power spikes and influence the game most meaningfully. Going forward, this will allow us to better define when supports have satisfying power in the game and, ultimately, help inform how we’re balancing that power.

The following items have been removed: Relic Shield, Targon’s Buckler, Steel Shoulderguards, Runesteel Spaulders, Spellthief’s Edge, Frostfang, Spectral Sickle, and Harrowing Crescent.

Runes

The Perfect Timing Rune has been removed and replaced with Triple Tonic.

Triple Tonic

  • At level 3, gain an Elixir of Avarice.
  • Elixir of Avarice: On use, gain 5 true damage on-hit against minions for 60 seconds. At the end of this effect, gain 40 gold.
  • At level 6, gain an Elixir of Force.
  • Elixir of Force: On use, gain 20 Adaptive Force for 60 seconds.
  • At level 9, gain an Elixir of Skill.
  • Elixir of Skill: On use, gain a skill point. (Note: This does not grant a level or modify the rules around adding skill points into abilities)

Tower Adjustments

Towers have been on the more fragile end for a while now, but with the addition of more tower damage coming from Voidgrubs, we thought it was time to give them a bit more durability. We want towers to feel like something that you can actually protect and reduce how easy it is for some teams to immediately win by blasting through three towers. We're also adjusting the backdoor bonus (reduced damage to towers when there are no nearby allied minions) to be more potent as it was often being ignored by champions later into the game. Now it will also apply to true damage rather than entirely nullifying it so that it's consistent across damage types.
  • Inner Tower Health: 3600 ⇒ 4000
  • Inhibitor Tower Health: 3300 ⇒ 3500
  • Nexus Tower Health: 2700 ⇒ 3000
  • Backdoor Bonus: Now reduces True Damage to towers rather than nullifying it entirely
  • Backdoor Damage Reduction Amount: 66.666% ⇒ 80%

Ranked Changes

Alongside the launch of the new season we’ll also be making some behind-the-scenes changes that should help improve the overall ranked experience.
  • Narrowing Emerald Tier: While overall we believe the new Emerald tier is accomplishing our goal of spreading out the ladder, the range of skill levels within Emerald is currently a bit too wide, so we’re going to be making Emerald a bit smaller. This, among other changes, should also help to correct instances of players Emerald rank and above receiving more LP per loss than LP per win.
  • Visible Rank Differences: While promoting ranks was made easier in 2023, there weren’t any adjustments to demotions, which led to some players having much higher visible ranks than their actual MMR. To correct this, demoting has been made a little easier to help avoid situations where a player could have a visible rank of Platinum, but actually have a Silver MMR. Additionally, we’ve also made adjustments to matchmaking so that the range of visible ranks within a lobby are tighter.
  • Modified LP Gains: The LP gain increase to +/-25 per game we introduced last year has done a good job of helping players move up or down a division within a session, which we’re currently pretty happy with. That said, We’ve learned that this amount of LP isn’t sustainable in tiers Emerald and above where breadth of skill is higher. Due to this, LP gains at Emerald Tier and above have been decreased to roughly +/- 20 per game.
  • NEWNew Player Placements: We’ve updated how new players are placed in Ranked which should place them closer to their appropriate skill level.

Fist Bumps

Fist bumps. That’s right, Riot Games (whose logo is a fist bump) added an interactive fist bump into League of Legends for you to celebrate all the hype moments in game. All you need to do is activate the emote, wait for another team member to use the emote and then BOOM. Fist bump achieved. Queue the fireworks. (Note: the default keybind for this is [U])

The fist bump emote will only be visible to allied teammates and, in the incredibly embarrassing event that a teammate does not fist bump you back, your fist bump can transform into a thumbs up.

Dynamic Music

It’s been nearly 10 years since the last update of music for Summoner’s Rift (way back in 2015). And while we already have a music system that’s working, we wanted to find a way to level it up even more! With the addition of all of the new and updated Void creatures coming this season, we felt like there was a real opportunity to use music to enhance the feeling of taking these objectives. Cue Dynamic Music!

This new Dynamic Music system can be broken down into 3 components:
  • Locational Music
  • Contextual Music
  • Situational Music

LOCATIONAL MUSIC: CHANGES WITH YOUR LOCATION


We’re introducing musical “zones” into Summoner’s Rift. In other words, we play different music for different locations within the map as you enter them. Right now, it’s only the top side river (including the Baron pit) that has unique music, but make sure to go check it out!

CONTEXTUAL MUSIC: CHANGES WITH GAME STATE


Some of you might know that Summoner’s Rift’s base music evolves over time with the state of the game. The music gradually gets more complex and exciting as towers and inhibitors get taken down. So when we zone out the top side river, we also want it to have its own evolution within the zone as well.

Music will evolve as new objectives spawn with there being a total of 4 evolution states:
  • Neutral (nothing has spawned)
  • Voidgrubs
  • Rift Herald
  • Baron Nashor

Each of the monsters introduce their different personalities and stakes to the river—so naturally they each get their own unique music as well!

SITUATIONAL MUSIC: CHANGES WITH YOUR ACTIONS


What if there was a way the music could react to what you, the player, are doing? The first place that feels like a natural tie-in is the idea of “raid boss music,”so why not add some music for these void objectives when you’re fighting them? This resulted in three unique pieces of music for when you are fighting Grubbies, Rift Herald, and Baron.

We hope that these changes make the map feel more alive and make each little corner of the map feel lived in and more interesting. We’re very excited for the launch of Dynamic Music for Summoner’s Rift and to see how you all like it!

In-Game Quests

From champions with sunglasses taking 1 less damage from Leona’s passive, to Rift Herald dance parties, hidden surprises are no stranger to League. In this patch, we’re introducing some additional in-game quests for a few champions to help bring their vibrant stories and personalities to life on the Rift! Read below for information on the quests, how to activate them, and the rewards you’ll get if you're able to win!

GOLDEN RATIO

  • Champions: Hwei and Jhin
  • Quest Information: Jhin or Hwei must be the first to kill the other using their ultimate ability, proving death or despair as the more powerful art.
  • Quest Activation Conditions: 1) Hwei and Jhin must be on opposing teams 2) Hwei and Jhin must both be at least level 12
  • Quest Rewards: If Jhin wins he turns Hwei into his virtuosic magnum opus, earning him 4.444 Lethality. If Hwei wins, his visions of pain, and peace, and art deepen, earning him 3.33% Magic Penetration

FISHING IN THE LAVENDER SEA

  • Champions: Bel’Veth and Jax
  • Quest Information: Will Bel’Veth’s grand ambitions come to life, or will Jax be able to protect his fishing spot? Jax and Bel’Veth compete over Baron Nashor, with the first to slay him emerging victorious.

  • Quest Rewards: If he wins, Jax receives 5 stacks of Bel’Veth’s Passive, Death in Lavender which grants 0.28%-1% Attack Speed (based on level) per stack, and 5 more stacks each time he scores a takedown on Bel’Veth. Should Bel’Veth prevail, killing Jax will drop a Void Coral that grants Bel’Veth her extended, empowered true form

BAD BLOOD

  • Quest Information: Can Nasus stop Renekton’s rage and protect Shurima, or will Renekton’s wrath consume everything? Be the first the kill the other while your ultimate ability is active to come out on top

Zed will prevail if he kills two of Shen’s nearby allies without being taken down by Shen.
  • Quest Activation Conditions: 1) Shen and Zed must be on opposing teams 2) Shen and Zed must both be level 11
  • Quest Rewards: If Shen defeats Zed, the shield from his Ki Barrier will become 30% stronger. If Zed wins, his passive ability, Contempt for the Weak, will deal an additional 2% of the target’s maximum health

ARAM

Due to the large amount of changes coming in this patch we won’t be making any changes to ARAM in 14.1, but we will be closely monitoring champion performance with the update and plan to implement follow up balance changes in the upcoming patch.

Progression

SEASON START CAREER STAT RESET


Due to the start of the new Ranked 2024 Season, Split 1 career stats will be reset.

Seasonal Challenges are going to be released alongside each ranked split in the 2024 season! There will be three sets of Challenges, each with a new unique title earnable at the Master rank. The Split 1 title will be Voidborn and the new Challenges are as follows:

Game Spectator Changes

What better way to ring in the new season than watching your friends start their climbs? In this patch we’re introducing a few changes to League’s spectator system to help modernize it for players. Fun fact, the 3 minute spectator delay was originally tied to ward timers, which are now 2 minutes 30 seconds. Can you guess what the new delay is? Anyway, now you’ll be able to spectate with 30 seconds less delay on Summoner’s Rift games and YOU CAN NOW SPECTATE ARENA AND TFT GAMES.
  • Summoner’s Rift Spectator Delay: 3 minutes ⇒ 2 minutes 30 seconds
  • ARAM Spectator Delay: 3 minutes ⇒ 60 seconds
  • NEWTeamfight Tactics Spectator Delay: 60 seconds
  • NEWArena Spectator Delay: 60 seconds
  • Spectatable Game Time: Spectators can view up to the last 5 minutes of gameplay prior to when they started spectating (may differ by region) ⇒ After clicking spectate, spectators will need to wait an amount of time equivalent to the delay before loading in, at which point they will be able to view the game time from when they pressed spectate onwards. The ability to view earlier gameplay prior to spectating has been removed, but don’t worry, you can still find footage of the full game using the replay feature.
