League of Legends: Season 2024 Brings Exciting Changes to Summoner’s Rift
League of Legends players have something to look forward to with the upcoming Season 2024. Riot Games has announced a host of changes that will accompany the arrival of the new champion, Hwei. From a revamped Barón Nashor to alterations in Summoner’s Rift, new monsters, and item changes, here’s everything you need to know about the exciting updates coming next year.
During a conversation with the developers behind the Season 2024 changes, three key pillars were identified as crucial for the new season. The first is to create new content that players at all skill levels can master. Secondly, the aim is to make players notice the changes right from their first game and exceed their expectations for the start of the season.
Riot Games has made several changes to the League of Legends map, introducing alterations, a fresh and more intimidating look for Barón Nashor, adjustments to mythical items, and Void monsters – which happen to be the theme of the upcoming season.
Summoner’s Rift Map Changes
The Season 2024 will bring various changes to the League of Legends map. According to the developers, these changes are designed to introduce different combat interactions that are visible from the first game played in the new season. The developers have also improved resources in the top lane, made adjustments in the mid-lane to assist immobile mages, and most importantly, aim to minimize the difference between each side of the map.
New Monsters on the Map
In addition to the map changes, new monsters will be added to League of Legends. Known as Vastilarvas and Vastisitas, these monsters will occupy the area of Barón Nashor and serve as a new early-game objective before the Rift Herald. The objective is divided into three “Voidgrubs,” with each granting a buff stack that assists the team in taking down towers more effectively by dealing additional damage over time. Existing monsters on Summoner’s Rift will also undergo changes over time.
Dragons are set to undergo changes as well. When the Infernal Rift is activated, Infernal Embers will appear throughout the map, granting adaptive attributes and a burst of movement speed to champions who collect them. Whenever a champion is defeated, they drop half of their Embers, which can be picked up by teammates.
Revamped Barón Nashor Variations
The iconic Barón Nashor will also undergo a complete visual overhaul after the 20-minute mark. Two new variations of the monster, Barón Territorial and Barón Omniscient, will be added to the game alongside the familiar Barón Slayer. Each variation will feature unique attacks that complement the changes in the terrain. The differences in the Barón’s styles will only affect the map, meaning that the buffs granted upon slaying the monster will remain unchanged.
Item Changes
As previously announced, Riot Games has decided to remove the Mythic item system from League of Legends. This change aims to give players more autonomy and creativity in selecting their builds, as well as increasing the flexibility of different item combinations in each game. Existing Mythic items will receive nerfs to reduce their overall power, while there will also be changes to mage items to provide clearer purposes and more effective usage.
Support players will also experience changes in their items, with adjustments to enhance their roles within the game.
Get ready for an exciting Season 2024 in League of Legends, as these updates promise to bring a fresh and dynamic gameplay experience that will challenge players to adapt and master the new elements on Summoner’s Rift.
