- New champion select
New champion select will help every player to better preparation to every game. How? Let me explain.
-Now before joining to queue you will have to select one or two roles you want to play. First option is selecting just "Fill". If you will select that option, game will search any players that need missing teammates. Your position on map will bbe selected randomly, based on your found teammates.
-Second option is to select one, primary role (for example: Mid) and as a second pick to select Fill option. If you will do that, matchmaking will search games where players need midder, and if it won't find any game on time it will select you game with random role, as i said earlier.
-Third option, the most tryhard one is to select two roles. If matchmaking can't find primary role for you, it will start to search your secondary role. If it fails it turns back to searching for the first role, now with bigger Matchmaking Ratio (MMR) range.
-After the game is found, the map of Summoner's Rift appears and shows everyone's role. It shows you champions you can pick, and you have to pick your champion. But that doesn't mean that you will play it.
-Now starts the phase of banning. Third, fourth and fifth player in both teams banns one champion. (Order is random, in first match you can be second, in next you can be fifth.) Is your champion banned? So sad. You need to..
-... pick the new one. After 6 banns, first player in blue team starts to pick. Then picks are classical 1-2-2-2-2-1 mode.
You can ask... what is new? It's almost the same draft as before.
So.. no, it isn't. There's a totally different experience, appearance and mechanics.
- Ranked improvements
Do you ever wanted to play with two of your friends a ranked game on Summoner's Rift without a ranked team?
Who didn't, cast a first stone. Yeah, almost everyone did.
Now it will become possible. You will be able to play duo, trio, quartet and quintet, even without a ranked team! Additionally, you will earn bonus IP with more of your friends! Such a great!
Next thing: Do you ever been in a situation, that you wanted to push your PC out of the window, cause you lost a series to higher division or league a sixth time in a row? I do. Now if you lose a series, in the next one you will start it with at least one win. Of course it doesn't work in all leagues. It does only in leagues lower than Gold I. But that's a great thing. Maybe this time.. - Hextech crafting
You should ask "What the heck is Hextech crafting?!" It's a new system of rewards. Did you play or watch CS:GO? There's a chest system. For me it's too commercial, cause you must buy a key for real money In hextech crafting you don't need to buy it. When you play league now, you earn Champion Mastery points and your game is rated almost as in american school system. But there is no E and F, and there's a S (higher than A).. So if you will have a very good game you will have a chance to drop a chest. You will also have a chance after every win game to drop a key or a key fragments. Chance is bigger when you play with more friends. From chests you will be able to get some champions and skins. For free!
For there, that want something special with discount, in a shop you will be able to buy a special chest for RP. Riot says that they will be worth your money.
That's not everything about crafting. you will be also able to redeem or modify every item you plunder. If you don't want an item, you can craft it into an essence. With essences you can upgrade your other items. Additionally you will be able to reroll 3 of any permament items into a one new of the same type.
Do you want to know, what else Riot prepared for us in this year? Be ready for my next post. But now I want to wish you Merry Christmas, Happy Snowdown and New Year. See you!
