Summoned Pet

Making QoL changes to increase value consistency.

• When driving, if you crash near an enemy turret without hitting it, the Rift Herald will attempt to perform the non-driven turret charge attack, if able

Objective Bounties

Payment

• No longer pays up to 60% more gold (300g) based upon the calculated lead
• Now pays up to 10% of the gold difference on top of the base bounty payment, capped at 1000g total
• Lesser objectives (such as Outer Turrets) that have lower base bounty also have lower payouts from the gold lead

Calculation

• Adjusted Objective Bounty calculation for accuracy: Gold leads are more important; other objectives are less important.

• Non-supports no longer receive reduced gold and XP from lane minions during lane swap detection
• Supports in mid and top lane, when accompanied by another champion, now receive no gold or XP from lane minions and cannot consume World Atlas charges
