Every year it’s the same refrain, when the Worlds start, Riot Games does not waste a minute to announce the changes to come for the next season of League of Legends. If this year the preseason is not the most important, it still includes some important changes – especially at the level of the jungle, but not only. So let’s review all the new things coming to Summoner’s Rift.
Return of pets and more accessible jungle
The most significant addition is that of three pets — each granting effects different. You will buy them in the shop in the form of an egg. These animals will get “treats” and slowly evolve over the course of the game, especially thanks to the monsters you kill. Once evolved, pets will give their owner’s avatar bonuses that grant them different abilities.
Riot Games also wants to make the role of jungler more accessible by adding visual effects to materialize the maximum distances at which camps can be attracted before their patience runs out, but also a system of recommended routes.
Return of the Techno-Chemical Dragon
Problematic and finally removed at the start of Season 12, the Techno-Chemical Dragon is back in Summoner’s Rift. This new version, much less risky than the previous one, still offers interesting improvements. You can find out in the article below the bonus, the soul and the changes that will affect the plants of the jungle that this new dragon will grant.
A little love for the top-laners
In addition to the big changes planned for the jungle, Riot Games has decided to offer a little help to a group of forgotten players on League of Legends: the top-laners – with in particular an improved experience gain compared to duo lanes, but also an advantage on gold gain compared to mid-laners.
Better communication between teammates
The developers went to great lengths to revamp one of the game’s most archaic systems that needed a major overhaul. We are talking about the communication options, which will undergo a great improvement from patch 12.22, improvement that will include new pings and even a system for the team to vote on whether or not they want to fight for an objective.
New Items and Item Changes
Most of the new things coming to League of Legends in the form of new items are tank-related. This is the case for three of the five items coming for the 2023 preseason. In addition, all those who are destined for this role will be Mythical, which will make them very important in terms of equipment and will make these champions the ones who will have the most items of that type available. There are also two deleted legendaries that the community fondly remembers.
