Plant Spawn System Iteration 10/25
Here's Riot Gmang with more information:
"Hey everybody,
Thanks for trying out plants and letting us know how they played. We've read a lot and are using it to inform the design. Some of the concerns we want to address right away:
- "Plant spawns (especially Blast Cones) feel too random and can't be planned around."
- "Plants are adding too much clutter."
So, based on recent feedback (especially PBE and some internal feedback), we've done a significant iteration on the plant spawn system:
- The locations where Blast Cones can spawn are no longer randomized, and fewer will spawn
- The "game start" Blast Cones now represent the only possible spawn locations
- Removed most Blast Cone spawn locations; total per quadrant: 5-6 -> 2
- Max Blast Cones alive at any given time per quadrant: 3 -> 2
- Respawn time now begins on corpse cleanup instead of "Ready" state
- Respawn times increased across the board
- Seedling growth time increased: 30 seconds -> 60 seconds
- (This is the stage of a plant life cycle where it's scoutable but not usable yet.)
- Made other small adjustments to plant positions
- Nudged some Honeyfruit spawns so they aren't "inside walls" or obscured by terrain as much
- Moved the Scryer's Bloom spawn location between Blue Buff and mid lane a little away from mid (towards river)
These were submitted to the PBE code on 10/24 (should appear on the 10/25 build), so the details of the old system explanation will be a bit outdated.
Try the changes out on PBE and let us know what you think!"Additional context from Meddler available [here].
Miscellaneous
- Worldbreaker Nautilus' splash has been properly flipped for the champion page. [New]
- [Few new or tweaked icons for the new masteries added. The new tank mastery icon has been corrected in game to be proper icon seen on 2017 changes page. ]
