Map specific balancing, loading screen changes, Sejauni gets a new skin, Master Yi gets an update, and I don't know you can have the curse logo as your summoner icon. All that and a riot point’s giveaway right now on the league update. Akali isn't playable in twisted tree line straight up. Every since they introduced the spectral lantern Akali hasn't been playable in that map. Don't know what I'm talking about? Take a look and its things like these why no one take twisted tree line seriously however all of that is about to change because Riot has officially announce map specific balancing. As of patch 3.9 Singed is weaker in twisted tree line and Kassadin is weaker when played in the crystals. Now you may think this is no big deal but this change opens the floodgates to balance changes that don't affect summoners’ rift. In laymen's terms Twisted Tree line could actually get balanced! In case you're pretentious golden border just wasn't enough to piss your friends off now you can shove your summoner’s icon down their throat.
Summoners will be able to see to her summoners icons in the loading screen for summoner’s rift and all the other maps too. While this is cool it's no where near as cool as the fact that your summoners icon could be the CURSE LOGO! The season three team icons will soon be on sale for 250
Riot Points. 20% of this goes straight into my pocket but the rest goes towards promoting esports and prizes and all that good stuff so do yourself a favor and represent the team. They need you right now. In other news I will let you finish but Sejuani's new skin could be the coolest skin of all time. Look at it!! She's riding a Russian bear tank!! Does it get any better than that? I defy you to give me a cooler skin idea, in fact if you come up with something more awesome than Sejuani riding a Russian bear tank I will give you 2800 Riot Points. But be warned only one of you can win, so your idea better be that good. Finally everyone's favorite ninja Shen is getting a rework! O waits O no, I've made a horrible mistake, it's not everyone's favorite ninja, it's everyone's least favorite samurai master Yi. Why?
He was already getting so much play already. Well regardless of why they did it I have to say that the new Yi looks pretty damn nice. In addition to the visual update Morello stated that the rework aims to merge the most enjoyable aspects of AP and AD Yi into one single cohesive play style. In addition more emphasis will be places on Yi's abilities so he's less frustrating in lower level play and scales better with player skill. Furthermore if you don't build AP there's almost no incentive to master your active skills -- Meditate isn't a very effective disengage and Alpha Strike can actually make you lose DPS since you could be attacking during the cast animation. So at the end of the day master Yi fans will be happy and all the haters will probably be happy to. That does it for these weeks’ news thanks for joining me on the league update.
