Preseason 2022 will be available on PBE starting today for an extended period of time (four weeks!) to make sure Riot gets all the feedback and testing from you before going live with the final sets of changes in November.


Dragons

Chemtech Drake

  • Standard Buff
    • Grants bonus damage against enemies with more current health than you (up to a 5% increase in damage per stack)
  • Dragon Soul
    • When a team obtains the Chemtech Dragon Soul, they receive a buff that grants them a brief second life after they die
  • Terrain
    • When the terrain transforms for the Chemtech Drake, gas zones emerge in four jungle locations. Gas zones camouflage any champion within the zone. Camouflaged enemies are not revealed by regular vision wards, but are revealed by Control Wards, Scryer’s Blooms, and other things that reveal invisible units.

Hextech Drake

  • Standard Buff
    • Grants attack speed and ability haste to the team that delivers the killing blow (5 Ability Haste and 5% Attack Speed per stack)
  • Dragon Soul
    • When a team obtains the Hextech Dragon Soul, they gain a unique ability that adds a chain lightning slow to their basic attacks and abilities, with a moderate cooldown
  • Terrain
    • When the terrain transforms for the Hextech Drake, pairs of Hex-gates appear across the map which allow champions to quickly travel from one location to the paired counterpart. Hex-gates are activated with a brief channel (that can be interrupted by stuns or damage) before rapidly transporting a player across the map to the corresponding Hex-gate.

Objective Bounties

Objective Bounties activate only when a team is sufficiently behind and are highlighted on the minimap for both teams. If a losing team takes an objective with an active bounty, every member of the team receives the objective bounty gold, split amongst the team.

Objective Bounties are calculated based on four factors: XP lead, Gold lead, Dragon lead, and Turret lead. The base amounts of additional gold gained by taking an objective with an active bounty are as follows:

  • Baron/Elder Dragon – 500g
  • Dragon/Rift Herald – 500g
  • Outer Turret – 250g
  • Inner Turret – 400g
  • Base turret – 400g

As the losing team falls farther behind, these base amounts can increase by up to an additional 60%.

Objective Bounties have a 15 second warning period when coming online and a 15-second lingering duration when falling off. This time can be extended if the losing team remains in combat with an active Objective Bounty.

Note: First Strike will be coming to PBE a little later! Stay tuned.


Other

Rift Scuttler

We believe that the first Rift Scuttler spawn is too impactful in deciding the outcome of the early game, so we’re reducing its importance and resolving the encounter more quickly. Now that it’s squishier, you or your enemy can defeat it more easily and, in short, back off to safety sooner.

The first Rift Scuttler will now have 35% reduced health, grants 80% reduced XP, and has been slightly reduced in size to match its lower value.

And that’s it! Stay tuned for more news, content, and other changes as we continue to closely oversee Preseason 2022!
