System Adjustments
The rune and objective layer also got attention this patch:
- First Strike gold generation reduced by 15% for ranged champions
- Baron Nashor spawn timer moved from 25:00 to 24:00
- Control ward cap in inventory stays at 2, but shop price drops to 65 gold
- Homeguard activation now displays a clear
speed-boostindicator
How to approach the new patch
- Ban the buffed junglers until the meta settles.
- Practice the adjusted wave timings in a normal game before ranked.
- Re-check your rune pages — First Strike users should consider alternatives.
