League of Legends Season 2 Act 2 Update lol Brings New Maps
The update is set to launch on June 27, with MSI Pick Ems and a throwback-style skin for Viktor also being released. The new champion, Yunara, and the 2.5D beat-em-up meta-game will provide players with a new and engaging experience, while the improvements to the griefing detection system will help to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for all players.
Riot Games has announced significant changes to League of Legends' All Random All Mid (ARAM) mode, including a rotation of three maps: the classic Howling Abyss, Bilgewater-themed Butcher's Bridge, and a new Spirit Blossom map, Koeshin's Crossing. The updates also include improvements to the inting and griefing detection system, with tougher punishments for repeat offenders, and updates to the Honor system.
The new Spirit Blossom-themed map, Koeshin's Crossing, features Spirit Blossom portals that can teleport players, unique terrain, and a less-powerful Power Flower to fight over. Butcher's Bridge returns with cannons to launch players and knock-up opponents, and a less-powerful Power Flower. The legacy item Spectral Cutlass also returns, giving AD and lethality, and the ability to blink back to a marked location.
In addition to the map changes, a new champion, Yunara, is being introduced as an auto-attack based ADC. Players will earn Yunara through Missions, but her release date is not yet confirmed. A 2.5D beat-em-up meta-game featuring Yunara and Xin Zhao will also be available, allowing players to experience the Season's story and earn in-game rewards.
The update also includes the removal of rerolls, replaced by a "card" system in the pre-game lobby, allowing players to choose from two or three champions, with unpicked champions going to the bench. The possibility of the Arcane-themed Bridge of Progress map returning in the future if the rotating map pool approach is successful is also being considered.
The League of Legends Season 2 Act 2 Update brings several significant changes to the game, including new maps, a new champion, and improvements to the griefing detection system. With the update, players can expect a fresh and exciting experience, with new challenges and opportunities to earn rewards.
