League of Legends Jungle Items: What You Need to Know for Preseason
League of Legends jungle items that players need to know for Preseason will be greatly different from the current ones. Mark Yetter, Gameplay Design Director for League of Legends, hinted that there are changes made for junglers and the jungle itself.
The changes should have the following:
- Increase pathing diversity by making camp resistance more uniform
- Expose some hidden mechanics visually to help newer players learn the jungle
- Slight reduction to the power of kiting camps
