LoL Season 14 New Map Terrain

LoL Season 14 New Items

Along with the new map terrain changes, a lot of items are either getting removed, or updated, and of course, new items are being added as well.

LoL Season 14 New Objectives

Not only are we getting tons of new items, but some of the neutral objectives have been changed along with adding a brand new camp (Voidgrubs) that replaces one of the Herald spawns. 

Baron Nashor will also have 3 separate forms that can spawn. All 3 of the variants change the map terrain according to the type but Baron remains the same in all other aspects.

Not only will Baron change the map layout in every game, but the Blue, Red buffs, and Scuttle Crab will also become altered after Baron has spawned on the map. 

The Rift Herald will also be quite different in Season 14 League of Legends as you will be able to pilot Shelly and make her crash into enemy structures.

LoL Season 14 New Ranked MMR System

Riot Games is looking to change up the Ranked MMR System in Season 14. According to recent information, the devs are considering revamping their system by then later moving on to the TrueSkill 2 System that helps determine rank and competitive placement. LP gain and loss will be addressed in these new systems so that players do not feel cheated out of their ranks.

Another aspect to playing Ranked matches is getting teammates that are of the same skill, however, Rioters have always struggled with keeping smurfs to a minimum whilst other players are forever stuck in ELO Hells. For more information, make sure to check out our respective article, here.

LoL Season 14 New Mastery System

For all of the one-tricks out there, Riot is also looking to revamp the current champion mastery system as shared in their dev update video recently. Some of the most important aspects of this system will be the removal of the mastery cap, along with earning even more rewards for your commitment to mastering certain champions.

Summary

A lot of fun and exciting changes are coming to Summoner's Rift in Season 2024 of League of Legends. New map terrain changes, item overhaul, neutral objective changes, and system changes among other things will surely make this year of League of Legends something to keep your eyes on. 

The meta will possibly drastically shift, with players starting to focus more on securing neutral objectives instead of going for lane leads, and junglers will have an even harder time ganking lanes so we can expect a lot of early-game skirmishes around the Voidgrubs and Herald.

Overall, these new changes should slow down the pace of the game, and provide even more chances for losing teams to make a comeback, thus resulting in even more nail-biting matches for both casual and competitive players.
