Removed Items
Frozen Mallet
- Frozen Mallet had a lot of use case overlap with Iceborn Gauntlet, without offering much gameplay. We are removing the item to sharpen the identity of our existing item roster.
Runes
- RESOLVE: GRASP OF THE UNDYING
Top lane is dominated by Grasp of the Undying so we are bringing down its damage slightly - Magic Damage: 4% → 3% of your maximum health
Systematic
- An early surrender period at 5 minutes requiring all 5 players to vote “yes" has been added
- Cooldowns for ultimates, summoner spells, and items can now be pinged from the scoreboard
- Death Recap will now show the source of damage that killed you
- The time allowance between quadra and pentakills has been increased
- We've updated the display for the minion gold penalty when Smite is equipped
- Health bars now have an added effect that better displays when an ability consumes your health or heals you
Rift Herald
- The early game meta is too dragon-centric, and we found that Rift Herald was de-spawning more frequently than being taken. We are making changes to its spawn time to increase its influence on early game strategic choices.
- Initial spawn time: 360s → 240s
Ignite
- We're updating Ignite to match the changes to Grievous Wounds.
- [NEW] Now applies 60% Grievous Wounds
Passive Gold
After evaluating our previous changes to passive gold, we are tuning it again so it’s more constant throughout the game, but still accomplishes our original goal of decreasing the frequency players reach full build long before a game ends. Additionally, we’re adding a new mechanic to the passive gold system that will help the lowest gold teammate gain additional gold. We expect this to reduce a bit of snowballing, but also help support players realize their item fantasy more often!
- Gold gained per second: 4g to 3g after 8 minutes → 3.5g for the entire match
- [NEW] Graceful Charity: Starting from 5 minutes, the teammate with the lowest gold amount will receive an additional 1g per second
Kills, Assists, and Bounties Gold
We are re-tuning how bounty gold is distributed. We are also adjusting its numbers to increase the chance of comebacks, but concentrating more gold from takedowns into a single player’s hands instead of assisters. We hope these changes improve players' personal ability to affect the outcome of a game rather than having to rely as much on their team to use shared gold wisely.

The game has yet to be launched in China, but the competitive tracks have already been announced.
