Patch 8.10
Welcome to patch 8.10! Last time around, we revisited mana and waveclear; this patch we’re checking out the jungle and rethinking the way we do kill streak bounties.
First, the jungle. We’ve had to take efforts to dial back the amount of pressure junglers can exert early, but we’re pushing that harder in the direction of the jungle camps. TL;DR, most jungle camps will be worth less experience early, but the Rift Scuttler will be worth a lot more. The jungler who can win the fight for River Crab—or sneak one when the other jungler can’t respond—will be at an experience and sustain advantage, and can turn that into plays around the map.
Next up, bounties. We’ve long cast bounties as a team objective: Kill the fed enemy for a boost of gold that can get your team back in the game. At the root of that is the ability to come back from a game that might otherwise snowball out of control. However, at the moment, spreading that reward to the whole team prevents individual players from feeling fully rewarded for their big plays.
Finally, we’re conducting a balance pass on non-keystone runes. The rune system has had some time to breathe (and adapt to new or changed keystones), so we’re going through and tuning a number of the minor runes.
