Perry Norman breaks down how Feylight Rings and Elemental Rift are changing League of Legends vision control. The new wards light up the entire river, making Sweeper nearly useless and ganking way harder for junglers.
This is huge. We're adding— so what's up, lads?
—locations that grant temporary vision towards— with unique bonus vision areas for each spot. Some Feylight Rings will be available at the beginning of each game, while others reveal themselves when the Elemental Rift transforms.
This we need to talk about. He dropped a ward there and it lit up the entire river. So if I ward here as bot lane, it's gonna light up everything, and that's gonna get me hella vision, which this also means that the value of Sweeper will be a lot less because, bro, I cannot sweep your ward if there's— if the ward is down here. What's the point of me taking sweeper? And as a jungler, if I get all that vision by dropping a ward here, why would I ever take sweeper? Look at this, the whole river got lit up. The entire river got lit up, which is crazy. Ganking is gonna be even harder nowadays.
