League of Legends 2016 Season Update looks exciting

So I’ve been playing League of Legends for a while, watching the championships and its easy to say that I’m a little hooked. I must admit that I am not particularly great at the game, unlike my son who is quite kick ass, but I do have a couple of champions that I do like to play that I’m not too shabby with (Sona, Veigar, Ashe, Vel,koz, Ryze and a couple of others). Anyway, the point of this blog is that I am excited about the up coming 2016 release. What am I most excited about? Lets take a look, in order of excitement

  • Well its a league update, that’s always exciting
  • New champ select, hopefully no more arguing over mid and jungle etc.. and less players rage quitting or even worse purposely feeding because they didn’t get the position they wanted! You get to choose primary and secondary positions and you are guaranteed to get one of the positions. I can’t help feel however that if you pick the two most popular positions every time then you are going to be waiting longer to be matched up with other players
  • Dynamic groups, no more penalty and no longer limited to solo / duo que
  • Baron pit early game mob to encourage more than just the enemy jungler to visit top lane
  • Mastery system revamp
  • Trinket and sight stone upgrades
  • Clubs and Parties, pity about the 100 player limit for clubs, but you can be a member of multiple clubs.
  • Hextech crafting, get skins and champions for free
