Here’s all we know about the system changes in LoL Patch 13.10.
Addressing tower diving and laning phase in LoL Patch 13.10
Game Designer Tim “Truexy” Jiang took to Twitter to reveal the next set of changes planned in League of Legends Season 13. He wrote. “Now that it's on PBE, here are some harder-to-find changes that will also be coming in 13.10. These are mostly trying to put more of an emphasis on lengthening the laning phase by hitting some roaming/ganking/tower diving power.”
The systems that are getting addressed are as follows:
Minions
Unleashed Teleport
Turrets
Homeguard - Passive effect that increases the champion's movement speed while on the fountain.
Fountain
Jungle plants
The developer added, “This means less games where roams from other lanes instantly end your laning phase by easily diving you and taking numerous 175 gold tower plates. I think most of these are on PBE but have to do a QA sweep to be sure.”
All system changes in LoL Patch 13.10 explained
The following are the major changes you should expect to have an impact on your games in LoL Patch 13.10:
Minions
Except for the first spawn of minions, mid-lane minions will meet at the same time as side lanes (side-lane minions sped up).
Minions that have targeted an enemy tower will ignore "call for help" signals to target enemy champions.
Unleashed Teleport
Upgrade Time :: 14 minutes >>> 10 minutes
Turrets
Plate Rushdown Resistances (20 seconds after taking a plate):: 0-180 (based on the number of champions) >>> 45-225 (based on the number of champions)
Homeguards
Normal Homeguard Start Time :: 20 minutes >>> 14 minutes
Fountain
Mana Regen Per 0.25s Tick:: 2.1% Max Mana >>> 3.1% Max Mana
Jungle Plants
Blast Cone (over the river walls) Initial Respawn: 5:00-5:30>>> 9:00-9:30
It will be interesting to see how these system changes coupled with the item changes will pan out in the game. According to the official schedule, LoL Patch 13.10 will go live on the servers on 17th May.
