New Base Exits/Entrances
I don't know about other people but I really love this idea. It's such a small thing to do to the game but has such huge implications. As the season was ending I slowly played less League, a combination of the end of the season attitude and me building a new computer. The new map is certainly a really nice step forward for the game, but I didn't see myself getting back into the game it just lost something. I don't know why but this new defender advantage makes me want to play me and get back into watching all the regions eSports again.
It's so simplistic but adds so much more to the game.
-
Easier routes for junglers
-
More of a sense that your base is yours
-
A potential positional advantage for the defenders, while also giving up the safety of the tower to make a play
-
Makes running through enemy territory even more dangerous by the accessibility of their base (You can't just run behind wolves or red buff anymore)
This gets me super hyped for the game and I'm glad they're making game changing tweaks like this in the offseason rather than just tweaking numbers.
