A mechanism in League of Legends has changed for almost an entire season, but even Levi doesn't know it
For League of Legends players and even gamers, mastering the basic mechanics of the game is a must. For veteran players with extensive experience or playing a pivotal role, this is a task. Only by truly understanding the game and every smallest mechanism can you make the right decisions to bring victory to your home team. But recently, in a ranked match, Levi was surprised by a mechanism that Riot changed this season.
Specifically, Levi did not know that after 20 minutes, if he defeats an opponent who has buffs (Blue Buff, Red Buff), he cannot receive buff effects from these buffs. This is a new update from Riot this year. But it wasn't until now when the season ended that Levi realized it. The special thing is that Levi is the most important player of GAM, and his position is Jungle – where he will directly interact with those buffs.
Many gamers also “sympathize” with Levi
When the match enters the 20th minute, it is usually the stage where teams begin to focus on controlling Baron and Dragon charms, expanding their existing advantage or trying to maintain the game. Therefore, it is normal that many people do not detect Riot's changes. Below the post, gamers also admitted that they did not pay attention to this.
However, each change will likely impact the match. But sometimes, these changes are just an innovation to a mechanism that has existed for decades. At the same time, after 20 minutes, the Blue/Red buffs are no longer so important. So it's understandable that the players don't pay attention.
