As mentioned in many other articles, with the arrival of the preseason we will have a new field of monsters in the jungle … But what are the new monsters?

Finally we had the answer, in fact, after the confirmation of the presence of this new field located between the ancient golem and the range of wolves, the official forum of the PBE announced several changes in the existing monsters and the name of the new field.

Below are listed the news about the jungle that await us in the preseason:

Jungle

The gold income for a primary jungler wasn’t scaling appropriately for dedicated jungle farmers. Similarly, the jungle difficulty was out of line with what we thought was appropriate. Now the jungle difficulty is shown by monster level and the difficulty/rewards are linked to the monster level.

  • Jungle monsters now have levels
  • Jungle monster level is based on the average level of the champions in the game when they spawn (equal to average of all champion levels, rounded up)
  • Jungle monster level determines their HP/Damage and XP/Gold value
  • Jungle monsters grant 50% bonus XP per level to lower-level champions, up to a cap
  • Added an extra camp (the Wight) near the Blue Golem and Wolves

Crest of the Ancient Golem (“Blue Buff”)

Crest of the Ancient Golem is too powerful at the moment, especially with such a wealth of cooldown reduction options available.

  • Cooldown Reduction reduced to 10% from 20%
