League of Legends Preseason Changes Add New Elemental Drake Buffs and Dragon Souls

League of Legends preseason changes were announced Tuesday as part of Riot Games' big 10-year anniversary celebration of its flagship title.

As per usual, Riot Games is adding major changes ahead of Season 11. One of those major changes revolves around the elemental dragons and the buffs they give.

According to Riot Games, the goal for the League of Legends preseason is to make buffs more equal in satisfaction and strength.

League of Legends Preseason Changes Add New Elemental Drake Buffs and Dragon Souls

Here's everything you need to know about the new buffs:

Infernal Might

• Gain a percentage increase of Attack Damage and Ability Power.

Oceanic Will

• Regenerate a percentage of missing health every second.

Cloudbringer's Grace

• Gain cooldown reduction for your Ultimate ability.

Mountainous Vigor

• Gain a percentage increase of Armor and Magic Resistance.

Additionally, a new Dragon Soul mechanic is added after killing four Elemental Drakes. These souls are a powerful buff that last even after a champion death and throughout the remainder of the game. The Souls are as follows:

Infernal Dragon Soul

• Every 3 seconds, your next attack or damaging spell creates a small AoE explosion, dealing adaptive damage that scales with bonus attack damage, ability power, and bonus health.

Ocean Dragon Soul

• Dealing any damage triggers strong health and resource regeneration for 3 seconds. Damage to minions provides less regeneration.

Cloud Dragon Soul

• Hitting enemies with abilities or attacks lowers the cooldowns of your base abilities.

Mountain Dragon Soul

• After not taking damage for 5 seconds, gain a shield that lasts until destroyed. The shield’s magnitude scales with bonus attack damage, ability power, and bonus health.
