League of Legends Season 6 has finally ended, and we all know what that means… Pre-Season Updates! Riot has already given us a sneak peek about its preseason changes through an article from Surrenderat20.net. These changes include Smite, Itemization, Camps, and the most interesting one, the Plants. Yes, people, Riot has decided to add a new type of object to the jungle of Summoner’s Rift.
Plants are new objects that spawn in the forest that when destroyed can trigger a variety of different effects that can knock back your champion, provide vision, or restore your health and mana. According to a detailed post by Riot GMang about the 10/25 PBE build, the plants are included in the game to provide interesting combat situations to the players, making League of Legends a little bit more challenging. The spawn plants will also enrich a team’s vision control over the map, and will make ganking more difficult. Exciting? Well, let’s take a look at these plants:
Blast Cones
Blast Cones, when destroyed, will knock away any nearby units. Its spawn in the jungle quadrants and it shows the location launched to by a red indicator.
Scryers Bloom
Scryers Bloom, when destroyed, will release pollens, providing vision and revealing enemies and wards in a range for about 15 seconds. They spawn at a few specific locations near the river maps.
