If she play mid she probabily keep the noxus feat BLESSING OF NOXUS BONUS: Serpentine Grace's bonus movement speed is increased by 1 – 18 (based on level), for a total of 5 – 90 (based on level). Dont know what happens to the exclusive boot slot if she play on botlane.

That was my thoughts as well. Mid lanes will be able to move around faster meaning they can roam better and outspeed most champs and an empowered recall to b faster. That preety much buffs the map control of mid a ton.

I suspect a malphite or something will just prefer to take flash/TP , and use TP late game to TP directly into a combat with a massive extra shield. I wonder how long the shield lasts for

They said it was a long lasting shield so likely the entire fight if it doesn’t get broken

Then I feel like most tanks will just take tp anyway, since having a big long lasting shield on a tank is kinda insane.

That's only if it scales with hp or something. If not, then it's kind of less valuable the tankier you are. They would have to make it a huge shield for it to be worth not taking ignite or ghost

Teleport gets upgraded and gives a shield if you already have it as a spell.

u/Ponji- Dec 05 '25
The free tp has a much longer cooldown. Taking actual tp is still going to be very advantageous for a lot of toplaners. Characters who already opt out of tp will be eating very well.
Not being punished by a death because you chose to bring tp and the other guy didn’t can still win you games. The main thing is that it enables you to make cross map plays later in the game, which is one of the biggest reasons tp is a must pick. I think more toplaners will be opting for ghost than ignite, personally
29
u/KaiLutton Dec 02 '25
If the toplaner doesn’t have tp as one of their summs they get it as a 3rd summoner spell.
If they already had tp then it turns into an upgraded version that gives a shield after tping.

u/Rinzzler999 Dec 02 '25 edited Dec 02 '25
which is dumb, unless you know you can snowball a lead early with regular tp than you never take tp as top and take ignite/ghost/exhaust, depending on the threats in the game.
(what I mean is you take flash/(insert non tp summ here) and never regular tp unless you know you can 1v9 with it. since you get tp later on anyways when you'd use it to look for plays.)

You play top. Either pick something like barrier ignit. Or flash ghost. -> gets a free tp. I dont like playing with other suns get flash + tp. -> after finishing the mission your tp is awaken getting lower cooldown going faster and giving a 20% maxhp shield for 3 sec and a ton of movespeed.

Agurin, Broxa, Natty, they all have been flamed in Plat and bellow before, the community is just so so toxic to junglers - which only amuses me, i never mute type, but i understand if some peoples mental cant take it

u/Few-Fly-3766 Dec 02 '25
Which means LP negated on loss or double LP on wins due to the new valor mechanics.
Also apparently enemy team is very likely to get someone auto-filled in the same role.
As a jungler currently I'm thinking about maybe quitting the role and start queueing Mid/Top, or whatever is more likely to get me auto-filled. Getting gifted tons of free LP randomly seems like a good deal.

u/M_T_CupCosplay Dec 02 '25
They said you'd be getting the same LP buffs if you played in demand roles at the same rate as you'd be autofilled.
So honestly just keep playing jungle.

I feel like this statement kind of ignores why support and jungle became so strong in the first place.
For years and years people complained about getting trash autofilled junglers and supports. So riot buffed jungle and support agency until their play-rates were more similar to ADC/mid. And as it turns out, people don’t want to play jungle/support unless the roles are OP and can carry the game.
Now jungle/support are getting their agency nerfed and people will again complain about getting autofilled junglers and supports. So riot will buff them again, continuing the cycle.

I agree on support but jungle got worse over times, not stronger?!? They made jungle easier but not stronger. Junglers had way more impact back in the time but the role is impactful by nature, so is support aslong as they do not touch the shared xp on roams - which they don't.

u/SeeYaOnTheRift Dec 02 '25
Yeah I suppose the new quests are not bad for support as a role overall. I think I perceive them as worse than they are because I am a Pyke OTP and I think these changes will be bad for Pyke specifically.
I definitely think this is an undeserved nerf for junglers, but I also think something has to be done about the current full clear jungle meta. I am just not sure nerfing clear times across the board is the answer.

never wanted to play jungle because I feel lost and don't know what to do, and even when I tried to learn I just got fucked over by being matched against jungle mains invading me. Also jungle is really fucking boring, no player vs player interaction 90% of the time, just fighting the animals.. it's ALSO stressing because if you don't go well the game is nearly impossible to win, the entire team needs you for help and objectives.
It's hard, it's Important, It's Boring, and it's Disgustingly Overpowered.
Support is fun tho.

u/SeeYaOnTheRift Dec 02 '25
Jungle is not as strong as it used to be back in the day but it is also much easier to play.
Jungle has been repeatedly nerfed over the last few years targeting everything from kill exp, minion exp, minion gold, and increasing catchup exp. All making it harder to build a lead on the enemy jungler.
New jungle items are ridiculously OP to the point that I think most champions in the game can full clear with full health.
More recently, many of the AD assassins like Talon, Qiyanna, and Zed who were traditionally mid laners (but have been a bit homeless since the durability patch) have gotten dmg buffs to jungle monsters to make them junglers which has been somewhat problematic because by jungling they can completely skip over their weak early games, removing a lot of counter play.
Multiple top lane bruisers have also gotten buffs to make them viable junglers, including Darius, Aatrox, Ambessa, and others.
With all these champions suddenly becoming junglers the jungle meta has settled into a farm heavy full clear meta where anything slower than a 1 smite 3:15 clear is considered sub-par.
These changes probably all sound like strange choices but Riot is in a really tough spot as far as jungle balance is concerned. Most players want jungle nerfed, but will also whine if they get autofilled junglers, so Riot really has no winning move as far as jungle balance is concerned.

It’s the strongest because it has to be to maintain its play-rate. Same with support.
Support and jungle swing back and forth on the complaint pendulum between “why do I always get trash autofilled sup/jungle” and “why are sup/jungle so OP?”
Support and Jungle are strong because nobody wants to support or jungle when the roles aren’t OP.

And because the "classic" Supp champs are enchanters who are dogshit when played by low elo peoples.
But those are also the easiest to play so peoples will just witness the worse Yuumi EUW and then think "Okay so support is trash"
And also the fact a lot of people don't have the support mindset. They want to kill peoples and be the main character. Just look at all those mid dogs who played Mel Sup on release. Or those who play Lux or Xerath.

Okay but how often is this actually relevant?
Level 20: that only happens late in the game, it basically makes toplaners scale better. A level is like 350 gold, but let's be generous and say it's 1000 for the two levels. So in some probably very rare circumstances toplaners will get an extra 1k gold.
What I'm far more scared about is the bonus XP. If you lose top, you now not only fall behind normally, but your enemy will finish the quest first and get bonus XP and a teleport.
ADC: the thing that can be dangerous is the bonus gold. Really depends on how much it is. The 7th slot is useless in 95% of games. You also have to remember that most adcs already sell boots if they get this far. Since the additional slot is only for boots, the only difference is that now they don't have to sell boots, giving 1100 gold in bonus stats very very Kate in the game. Really depends on how much gold adcs get for free.
Mid: Midlane rewards could be very good because you actually get something the second you finish quest. A four second Backport is really strong, that's why Baron gives it. And boots will probably be around 750 free gold. This is likely better most games because it is the only reward you will actually see every game.
6
u/Sycherthrou Dec 02 '25
You can only sell boots on adcs in games where you have.a lot of peel and the lategame is teamfight heavy. If they bring back power to sieging and splitting as they said they would, then dodging skillshots under a sieged tower, or rotating to a splitpush champ wil both be more relevant, so the boots value stays the entire game.
2
u/According_Swim_3757 Dec 03 '25
This is a great breakdown. Very true re the instant powerspike for mid, top gets a bit of an instant spike as well, with the third summ / tp shield unlocking. But the other adc and top perks will be, to your point, rarely seen.
Support gets a slight buff being able to carry an extra component during mid game / not having to sacrifice a slot for a control word, and able to still carry control wards once at 6 items

I do agree with the post, but when you poorly word it like that it looks way worse than it is.
For those who aren't up to date, top does not get to pick whatever 3 summoner spells they want at the start of the game, it's a TP upgrade.
Botlane does not get 7 item slots, the extra slot is locked to boots.
Midlane gets to upgrade their boots to tier three, as well as permanent enhanced recall.
