One of the main novelties of this year for the pre-season of League of Legends will arrive in the jungle. Now, a familiar will accompany the champion and will have a great importance within the Summoner’s Rift, causing an almost complete overhaul of this role.
Purpose and problems
The objective is to make the role easier and more intuitive for new summoners while removing some of the knowledge needed to optimize its jungle style, in order to encourage older players to try this role now shunned by players. Besides the pet, Riot Games will offer a clear road to help newbies and veterans optimize their time, while preventing junglers from being able to clear two camps at once, to remove this counter-intuitive mechanicsand do not separate champion junglers into two categories : those who can take advantage of this mechanic, and those who can’t (and will therefore be slower in early).
Well, that’s on paper. Because an irreducible Fiddlesticks still and always resists the Riot Games update, and does not make life easier for developers. The Incarnation of Fear is one of the junglers benefiting the most from the patch on the PBE. Not content to take full advantage of the new pet, he clears his entire jungle in less than 3 minutes, while still being able to make two camps at once.
Fast and efficient cleaning
As you can see in the video, Fiddle doesn’t need to return to base to clear all the camps. Also, one of the important parts is that he can still grump and blue buff simultaneously. The conclusions to be drawn from watching the video above are as follows:
- Familiars look strong enough and help clear the jungle very easily.
- Even though the monsters’ aggro range is shorter than in S12, Fiddle has no problem getting two of them at the same time.
- the scarecrow now save a Z on the krugs, since the big krug splits into two smaller ones,
However, make no mistake, this mechanism will never make it to live servers. Riot Games has plenty of time to correct all this before the deployment of S13. Nevertheless it shows that it is still possible to clear two camps at the same time, and if it was revealed on Fiddle, it is not impossible that other champions also have this possibility and that we only discover it during the season.
