Object Changes
For this new version of the game, Riot Games is testing in the PBE what the game would be like if the users of jungle objects extended their healing when they were badly given. A change that will make far fewer people die in the jungle fighting neutral camps.
“This item’s healing is amplified by 50% when the wearer is below 30% of its total health,“ reads the new description of these four jungle items:
- Hunter’s Talisman
- Hunter’s Machete
- Stalker’s Sword
- Skirmisher’s Saber
