Exciting changes are coming to Summoner’s Rift in the upcoming 2024 League of Legends season. One of the major updates involves the transformation of the jungle monsters found throughout the map.
The iconic red and blue buffs will undergo evolutionary forms, altering their appearances and rewards during games next season. When a League game reaches the 20-minute mark, the red buff and blue buff will automatically respawn as the Voidborn Brambleback (red) and the Voidborn Sentinel (blue). These evolved versions will have a new purple appearance and will be more challenging to defeat. However, the increased difficulty comes with stronger rewards, as the buffs will be distributed to all living players on the team upon their demise, similar to the Baron buff.
Another jungle camp that will undergo a similar transformation is the Rift Scuttler. At the 20-minute mark of each game, the crab will transform into a Voidborn Scuttler. When killed, the evolved Scuttle Crab will emit an effect similar to the Scryer’s Bloom, revealing all enemy champions and wards in the surrounding area. This provides your team with an enhanced vision advantage.
These changes to the jungle monsters are part of the most significant update Summoner’s Rift has received in the past ten seasons. The map has not undergone such a massive overhaul since the visual updates implemented during the 2014-15 preseason.
In recent years, Riot Games has introduced various effects to League of Legends that alter the evolution of Summoner’s Rift on a game-by-game basis. Similar to elemental dragons, the Void monsters that will inhabit the Rift starting next year have the potential to transform each League game, offering a fresh experience at all levels of play.
These exciting changes and additions to Summoner’s Rift will be available for testing on November 20th. They will officially launch on the live servers when the 2024 ranked season begins in January.
