Patch 3.4

change

Leashing has always been a difficult lever to balance around as the jungler has little control over it. We’re aiming to make leashing less viable and will be balancing junglers based on them not receiving a leash. All lanes will now clash at the same time.

First minion spawn (Wild Rift)

  • The first wave of Baron and Dragon lane minions gain bonus movement speed, resulting in all lanes meeting at the same time.

General

  • The first minion wave in Baron and Dragon lane gain bonus movement speed

Patch 3.1a

nerf

Minions play a pretty big role in the later stages of the game, so we are making some adjustments to alleviate some of the pressure those late-game minion waves can cause. We’re increasing the bonus movespeed for Homeguard in the mid-to-late game to allow champions to get into more aggressive positions quicker while also reducing the move speed the minions gain.

Minion

  • Bonus movement speed at 12:00 elapse reduced from 40 to 10.
  • Maximum bonus movement speed reduced from 120 to 100.

HOMEGUARD & MINIONS - Homeguard

  • Movement speed effect: After 12 mins, gain 30% movement speed for 4s → After 1 min, gain 40% movement speed until the game ends

HOMEGUARD & MINIONS - Minion movement speed

  • Movement speed bonus at 12 minutes: 40 → 10
  • Maximum movement speed bonus: 120 → 100

Patch 0.5

buff

General

  • New effect: Super minions can be seen through Fog of War.
