What's changing

Change
  • Trimmed redundant buffs that repeat information already clearly communicated elsewhere in the UI or gameplay state (e.g. role quest progress and other obvious state changes).
  • Moved most item buffs with durations into the inventory on the item itself.
  • Reduced buff bar clutter from lower-impact system, map and item effects that don't meaningfully change player decision-making.
  • Removed display of very short-duration debuffs and effects (˜0.25s), including things like minor slows from Honeyfruit pickups.
4 fixes and quality-of-life changes
  • Fixed a bug where Caitlyn's Headshot may fail to fire while in brush.
  • Fixed a bug where Guinsoo's Rageblade's first Phantom Hit would apply one attack earlier than expected.
  • Remake votes will now begin automatically when they are eligible rather than requiring a player to type /remake in chat. Chat context now explains which player triggered the remake vote and why.
  • Deafen and self-mute functionality can now only be toggled once every 60 seconds to prevent spam and disruptive one-way communication.
