The jungle is being nerfed in patch 7.1
Not only many champs receive a nerf with this patch, but also the jungle. The interactive plants are affected as well as the experience points you gain in the jungle for killing a monster.
Plants: Among other things, the Seer Bloom has been adjusted so that auto pings on revealed champions now differ from player pings. For the Honeyfruit, the radius in which the fruits can be picked up has been reduced.
Jungle experience: The jungler receives less experience when clearing camps in their first jungle round. The jungler will still reach level 3 after clearing the first buff and the first (two) small camps. But to reach level 4, they now have to clear six camps instead of 5.
These skins will be added to League of Legends in patch 7.1
- Harrowing Nova Gangplank
- Warlord Azir
- Warlord Garen
- Warlord Vi
At the moment, Riot seems to be quite busy, as there has also been the long-awaited Warwick rework. These will be Warwick’s new skills.
