Funnel mechanics

The minion gold penalty for junglers has been reduced from 50 percent to 40 percent. The penalty will be removed at 20 minutes instead of the 14-minute mark. This change is aimed at stopping people from playing funnel strategies.

Death changes

Homeguard is back on the Rift. After dying, the player will receive a small movement speed buff, which will decrease the total time it takes to travel to lane by two and a half seconds.

Solo kills will grant more experience in the early levels by 20 percent, while assisted kills will grant less by 20 percent. These buffs will be applied up until level six only and be reduced for level seven and eight.

Jungle buffs

Jungle items received a new effect, increasing healing received by the item by 50 percent when below 30-percent maximum health. This change is aimed to help underperforming junglers and players who are new to the role.
