Patch 5.16 is set to be released and it is bringing with it a ton of changes. First are champions called Juggernauts, beefy melee champions that want to be in your face, the four of these are getting gameplay changes. Riot Scarizard says:
Garen, Darius, Skarner and Mordekaiser have received gameplay updates. We’re calling them juggernauts.
Any time we make an update, we’re aiming for two targets: that every game of League feels meaningfully different based on the champions in it, and that each champion in League feels distinct. That might sound like an enormous goal (probably because it is), but our plan is to break them down into groups that share roughly the same strategic or tactical niche and start solving from there. By hitting a handful of champs at a time we can address a few groups struggling in one go; the first of which are the lumbering giants of melee-ranged obliteration heretofore (affectionately) referred to as juggernauts.
Tanky melee carries walk the line between power and peelability, but in order to find distinct playstyles for each of these four champions, we looked to add a little more uniqueness where we could. When two champs play the same way, you just end up picking the one that’s better. We’re working to change that – shifting each champion’s power so that their highs and lows are both deeper and more differentiated from others in the same role.
Let’s meet the team.
Meet these 4 over at the official patch note here. But wait, there is more for this patch, and for a quick rundown, check out the official video on the next page. Sit down with Rioters and Pro Support for Dignitas Kiwikid for all your patch needs.
