The game has changed TONS in that time. The one thing that hasn't changed is that Riot can't balance champions or items.

wtf is blue essence
Replaced IP, feels more grindy because of the level system, but rito says you get the same amount.
where did my runes go
I too miss them.

Yea they gutted bruisers, play a hyper damage champ.
what are the new maps about and what changed with the old ones???
SR just got a facelift, TT was remade, and the rotating are newish.

Thats pretty much just S8 preseason...
Blue Essence = IP, you can buy more things with it than you used to. RP is still used for skins.
Runes were removed, and the new mastery system replaces it, if you bought runes, you got a refund in Blue Essence and some mystery skins.
Maps really aren't much different, 3v3 is more or less the same, ARAM if you weren't around is just what it always has been. All Random, All Mid. It's a one lane map, everyone gets rolled a random champ. Then you get tossed on a single lane map, and can't buy after leaving base until you die.
Summoner's Rift was made a lot prettier. Dragon received the most notable change. Instead of just rewarding xp and global gold, they took the gold reward away and instead dragon gives you a buff. Dragons are random each map.
Infernal: ap/ad Mountain: +Dmg to structures Wind: +Move speed out of combat Ocean: + Out of combat health regen
After 35m Elder Dragons spawn. This grants +50% to any previously received elemtnal dragon buff, and 45xNumber of Dragons Killed tru damage to attacks/spells.
The only other change is that in the baron pit before 20m, a Rift Herald spawns, which if killed gives you a trinket you can use once per game which gives you a giant monster to help siege down towers until it's killed.
Blue Essence is the new and 'improved' IP. You get it from champion shards that come from chests obtained from leveling (now has no cap), honor capsules, and the boxes that you get from purchasing them or from achieving an S on a champion.
Runes are gone, they have effectively been folded into the flat stats of a champion
Everything that was bought with IP is now bought with BE
New game modes are just that, each one has different objectives and limitations/changes
also ALL of my friends that used to play with me aren't active any longer, feel free to add me anyone!
also, if runes got taken out of the game, why is it that it says I can buy rune pages, and why does it still have a tab for runes on my "collections" page?
