Gold & Experience Changes

Patch 26.16

changeCurrent Patch

League Classic has higher stakes and is generally more snowbally than Season 2026 and that's intentional. We also want players to have a fighting chance at comebacks without adding systems like Objective Bounties that players have to identify and play around. We also don't want to inflate total gold in the game too heavily.So we're raising the floor on passive gold income and reducing the income of those who farm the best. As a whole, these changes will result in all champions having about 215 more gold passively, with the average laner roughly treading water.

Classic Gold Generation

  • Start of Ambient Gold Generation: 65 seconds → 90 seconds
  • Passive Gold Per 5 Seconds: 8 / 10.5 / 11.5 / 13 at 1 / 10 / 15 / 25 minutes → 10.5 / 11.5 / 13 at 1 / 15 / 25 minutes
  • Melee Minion Base Gold Value: 20 → 19
  • Ranged Minion Base Gold Value: 15 → 14
