Objective Bounties
In addition to Champion Bounties, Objective Bounties are another means for losing teams to get back into the game. They provide additional gold incentives for completing objectives when a team is far behind, and they’re designed to be difficult to claim鈥攂ut not impossible. Only when a team is sufficiently behind doing a team’s objective bounty trigger, and objectives that will pay out bounties are marked on the minimap for both teams. Each member of the losing team will receive Objective Bounty gold if they take an objective with an active bounty. They’re calculated in the background using four different variables: XP, gold, dragon, and turret lead. When the bounties go live, each objective offered to the trailing team will be rewarded with a bounty. Bounties begin at the following levels, which are distributed evenly among all five team members:
- Baron and Elder dragon: 500 gold
- Drakes and Rift Herald: 500 gold
- Outer turret: 250 gold
- Inner turret: 400 gold
- Base turret: 400 gold
Jungle Changes
In the preseason, Riot will introduce two new dragons to Summoner’s Rift, each with their own set of buffs, souls, and terrain effects. During Patch 11.23, the selection rate of Chemtech Rift and Hextech Rift terrains will be doubled to offer players a better feel of the new dynamics.
Chemtech Dragon
According to Riot, the Chemtech dragon is all about living on the edge, taking calculated risks, and battling for every shred. The soul urges players to go big or go home, sacrificing their life in exchange for high-value moves.
- Chemtech dragon buff: Grants up to five percent bonus damage per stack against enemies with 340 to 1020 (your level one to 18) more current health than you
- Chemtech dragon soul: When a team obtains the Chemtech Dragon Soul, they receive a buff that grants them a brief second life upon their next death. Champions revive with 80 percent of their base health + 50 percent of their bonus health and gain 75/30 percent (melee/ranged) decaying movement speed. Revived champions take 40 percent less damage, deal 33 percent less damage, and take damage equal to an ever-increasing percent of their starting health every 0.25 seconds
- Chemtech Rift: Gas zones emerge in four jungle locations that camouflage any champion within it. Champions within the zone deal up to 10 percent more damage to enemies who have more current health than them. Maximum damage is achieved when at 34 to 1020 (based on the attacker鈥檚 level) less health than them
- Camoflage: Camouflaged enemies are not revealed by regular vision wards, but are revealed by control wards, Scryer鈥檚 Blooms, and effects that reveal invisible units. They鈥檙e also revealed while you鈥檙e standing near them
Hextech Dragon
According to Riot, the Hextech dragon is all about controlling the map, flanking your opponents, and trapping the enemy team for a wombo combination. The soul offers special lightning that slows down opponents, allowing players to maintain control over teamfights and track down stray players.
- Hextech dragon buff: Grants five ability haste and five percent attack speed per stack
- Hextech dragon soul: When a team obtains the Hextech Drake Soul, they gain a chain lightning slow on their next basic attack or ability that deals 25 to 75 true damage (based on champion level one to 18), bounces to three additional targets, and slows units hit by 45/35 percent (melee/ranged) (+five percent per 1000 bonus health, + one percent per 100 AP, +three percent per 100 bonus AD) for two seconds (eight second cooldown)
- Hextech Rift: Pairs of Hex-gates appear across the map which allow champions to quickly travel from one location to its paired counterpart. Hex-gates are activated with a brief channel that can be interrupted by immobilizes or damage. Each pair of Hex-gates has a 30 second individual cooldown per champion
