Champion Bounties
Overview
- Champion bounties are now based on gold earned and lost, as opposed to kill/death streaks and the relative amount of farm.
- Gold from champion-specific sources (e.g. Draven’s Adoration and Twisted Fate’s Loaded Dice) never contribute to champion bounties.
- Champion bounties are now accrued granularly. For example, it’s now possible to have a bounty of +1 gold.
- Bounties will not display on the scoreboard until they are worth at least 150 gold and update in further increments of 50 gold.
- The “Shut Down” announcement will display for any champion killed with at least a 150g bounty on their head.
- A positive bounty is bonus gold given to a champion’s killer when slain (unchanged).
- Positive bounties are no longer based upon kill streaks.
- Positive bounties are no longer based upon your minion and monster kills relative to the average minion and monster kills of the enemy team.
- Champions now accrue 1 bounty gold for every 4 gold earned from kills and assists. Shut Down gold does not increase the killer’s positive bounty.
- Potential bounty gold is now reduced by 1 for every 4 gold given away to killers and assisters on death.
- While in a positive state, champions now accrue 1 bounty gold for every 20 gold earned from minions and monsters.
- When a champion is “Shut Down” all bounty is removed from the champion.
- As an exception, a champion with a bounty greater than 700 gold will carry over their remaining bounty into their next life.
- The first 100 bounty gold is not applied. For example, 400g worth of kills and assists will not give you a bounty, but the next 400g will set your bounty to +100g.
- When active, objective bounties will now devalue positive bounties for the losing team. This modifier starts at a 10% reduction and can reach about an 80% reduction in the most extreme scenarios.
- A negative bounty is a baseline devaluation of a champion’s kill gold. Unlike positive bounties, this reduced value is also factored into assist gold (unchanged).
- Negative bounties are no longer based upon death streaks.
- Negative bounties are no longer reset from earning a single kill.
- Negative bounties no longer “undo” one death per assist.
- While in a negative state, base gold value is reduced by 1 for every 4 gold given to killers and assisters on death.
- While in a negative state, base gold value is increased by 1 for every 4 gold earned from kills and assists. Shut Down gold is applied to negative bounties.
- While in a negative state, base gold value is increased by 1 for every 10 gold earned from minions and monsters.
- The first 50 negative bounty gold is not applied. For example, a 300g death will set your base kill gold to -25, not -75.
Objective Bounties
- Void Grubs now contribute.
- Experience differences contribute about 40% less.
- Gold differences contribute about 25% more.
- Turret and drake differences are slightly more likely to contribute.
- Objective bounties will deactivate more quickly when the losing team makes a comeback.
- Objective Bounties are ending soon timer: 60 seconds ⇒ 30 seconds.
- Objective bounties are decreased by 20-40% in situations where the losing team is already coming back.
- Baron Nashor base objective bounty: 500g ⇒ 300g.
