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—but 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
Hextech Drake and Chemteck Drake added

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’s level) less health than them
  • Camoflage: Camouflaged enemies are not revealed by regular vision wards, but are revealed by control wards, Scryer’s Blooms, and effects that reveal invisible units. They’re also revealed while you’re 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 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
