Map & Terrain Changes
Patch 26.1
changeHomeguard
- Removed: Homeguard no longer has a set duration of 6 seconds, and Deathguard no longer has a set duration of 20 seconds.
- New Effect - Variable Endpoint: When traversing a lane, Homeguard will now feature a removal point, indicated by an arc on the ground.
- At the start of the game, the endpoint reaches 500 units behind the lane's Outer turret.
- After 14:00 or after an Outer turret has been destroyed on either side, the endpoint adjusts to approximately 2000 units before the furthest minion (for both teams).
- For the losing side, the maximum endpoint reaches 500 units before the outermost living structure, with a threshold at the lane's innermost structure, the Inhibitor.
- For the winning side, the maximum endpoint reaches 2000 units before the Inhibitor Turret. This is approximately right before the destroyed Inner Turret.
- Before 14:00, Homeguard now grants 80% bonus movement speed decaying to 40% over 4 seconds after exiting the fountain.
- After 14:00, Homeguard grants 150% bonus movement speed decaying to 65% over 4 seconds after exiting the fountain.
- Homeguard is still immediately removed upon entering combat or entering the jungle, unchanged. Jungle entrances now also feature the same indicators for Homeguard removal
Patch 25.23
changeSummoner's Rift
- Map updated with a winter theme.
Patch 25.7
changeIt's become a commonplace tactic for mid laners to rush Symbiotic Soles and repeatedly Recall to fill up their health and mana before rushing back to lane, which removes almost all sense of attrition in the lane. Since we like that Soles are a popular and viable item on supports, we'd rather adjust the Recall incentives than nerf the boots themselves. Mathematically, the changes below result in shorter trips to base when low on resources and slower trips when already near full.
HOMEGUARD & FOUNTAIN - Fountain Healing
- Maximum HP per second: 10.4% → 8%
- Maximum MP per second: 12.4% → 10%
- Early game missing HP/MP per second: 6% → 16%
- Late game missing HP/MP per second: 12% → 16%
HOMEGUARD & FOUNTAIN - Homeguard Speed
- Early game move speed: 75% → 65%
- 14-40 minute move speed: 75-150% → 65-150%

- [Note: This is the same value granted at 14 minutes. There are no changes to Homeguard after 14 minutes.]
- Homeguard duration reduced to 7 seconds from 8.
- Removed: While Hand of Baron is active, no longer increases Homeguard's haste to 125/143.75/162.5/181.25/200% (at level 20/25/30/35/40) (based on minutes) bonus movement speed.

Patch 14.1
changeSummoner'S Rift
- The river has been slightly widened at each sidelane end.
- In the jungle, a wide wall opposite of the Dragon and Baron pits has been created, alongside the edge of the river. The banana brush, which was previously along the river end of the thick midlane wall, has been relocated to this wall's end that is closest to the midlane, and slightly extended into the river. The Blue Sentinel wall has been split.
- In the top lane, the outer turret wall has been mirrored from blue onto red side. The blue side outer turret wall has been shrunk, creating more open area in the lane, and its long appendage into the jungle along the river has been shortened significantly.
- In the middle lane, the midlane entrance brushes have been pushed further back into the river, and the walls have been spread further apart as well. The thick midlane entrance wall has been split. The wall closest to the outer turret (opposite of the Raptor camp) has been significantly shrunk, leaving only a crescent. The thin midlane entrance wall is unchanged.
- In the bottom lane, the layout of the entire tri-bush area has been mirrored from blue side onto red side.

- Jungle Patience (previously "Leashing") - Rift Scuttler, who is non-aggressive, and epic monsters are excluded from the following changes.
- A monster's "patience" is now displayed as a bar above their health bar that depletes as you perform an abusive action, so long as you continue to perform it. If a monster's patience is reduced to 0, it will hard reset - which causes the monster to return to its idle location and ignore attempts to re-aggro until it has healed to at least 90% of its maximum health (testing value).
- Abusive Actions:
- If the monster's current target is far out of the monster's camp and there are no other valid targets around.
- If the monster has to switch targets.
- If the monster is too far away from its camp - which is now determined by walking distance as well as a radius from their spawn.

- Baron will not be considered to be in-combat (for the purposes of losing his out-of-combat health regeneration) unless there is a champion within his attack range - i.e. attack Baron while out of his attack range will result in no damage being dealt.
