LoL Season 2024 Gameplay Teaser Shows Map Rework, New Herald & More

Riot Games has players shocked to see such huge changes coming to Summoner's Rift in 2024. The developers released a teaser on social media showcasing all of the new changes coming to League of Legends for Season 14.

It seems that Riot Games is looking into drastically changing the flow of the gameplay with the new terrain looking to promise a fresh new way of playing League of Legends and turning the meta on its head.

We will be taking a closer look at what you can expect in your games for the upcoming season 14 (S14). It seems that the Void has corrupted the Rift, changing the jungle monsters, and neutral objectives like the Herald, and even Baron looks more powerful than ever!

LoL Season 2024 Map Changes

One of the most notable aspects in the League of Legends Season 2024 gameplay teaser shows massive changes to the terrain on Summoner's Rift. The Baron Pit area has been changed to have even more ways to approach the objective as the surrounding environment seems wider with more avenues to approach both jungles.

There also seem to be changes to all lanes as well, making them more accessible for ganks so you will need to watch out for new jungler paths!

The mid lane seems more dangerous as well as one of the walls has a new nook for junglers to make use of for potential dives, but that will also improve roaming capabilities so getting priority will be very crucial for fights around neutral objectives.

The bot lane is also showing a massive shift with the bush around the outer turret being much more accessible as there is no wall separating the lane from the Blue Buff area.

We also saw more changes to the terrain around the top side Blue Buff area as a wall is separating the team for directly having access to Baron.

LoL Season 2024 Jungle Changes

The gameplay teaser for Season 2024 also shows the jungle monsters falling to the corruption of the Void with notable changes to how they look, and possibly how they behave as well. 

First on the list is the Red Buff showcasing its new look and looking even scarier than usual.

Blue Buff is also seeing some changes for Season 2024 of League of Legends.

Even the Rift Scuttler has been influenced by the Void.

There also seems to be a new monster lurking in the River, but it might just as well be a new animation for the Rift Scuttler.

LoL Season 2024 Neutral Objective Changes

This is where things get even more exciting as the gameplay teaser also showed changes to the Herald, Baron, and even possibly a new pre-Herald objective. Junglers will have a field day with the new map, jungle changes, and new objectives to contest as their teammates will be relying even more on successful ganks to gain an advantage.

Riot Games is looking into making the jungler role even more important as these updates can also lead to having a new type of drake or the pre-Herald objective giving an important buff in the early game.

The Herald also looks vastly different with the Void taking over even more and turning Shelly gruesome.

The gameplay teaser for Season 2024 also showed a new mechanic for the Herald as champions will now be able to go into the Herald once it has been placed, so split-pushing will become even deadlier if you are able to put in a strong top laner inside.

And now the cream of the crop, Baron Nashor himself. This new Baron looks even more scarier than ever. Possibly this means that taking Baron will not be as easy as before, but we can all appreciate the more grim aesthetic on the map overall, making fights around neutral objectives more impactful.

We also see the new Baron Pit as his influence has changed the surrounding terrain, filling the space with even more Void energy.

Summary and Community Reaction

Overall, the new Season will bring more exciting plays, changes to how teams approach objectives, and junglers having more on their plate to figure out whether to fight for neutrals or gank lanes by utilizing the new terrain.

Many players are happy with what's to come, some brimming with excitement.

Some are even hypothesizing that even more information will be provided in an upcoming Dev Blog, possibly new lore as well.

One thing is certain, the new League of Legends Season will be massive, and players can't wait to get their hands on the preseason to try out these changes for themselves.
