Summoners!

This patch we’ll be rolling out some changes to the art of Summoner’s Rift aimed at bringing low and mid spec players better aesthetics as well as overall graphical performance. The next time you take to the Fields of Justice, you may notice a few new and improved visuals.

Some of the enhancements include:

  • Better game performance at low and mid spec.
  • Updated textures across Summoner’s Rift.
  • Improved animations on many of the monsters, including the Ancient Golem, the Lizard Elder and, of course, Baron Nashor.
  • A new, animated shopkeeper to service all of your champion’s item purchases.



This is another improvement aimed at helping you continue to get the most out of your time playing League of Legends.

We’ll see you all out there on the Fields of Justice, summoners!

Odd. Didnt they already post this? In either case, I'm extremely happy, as I play on a laptop that has constant frame changes and is rarely ever steady. I'm hoping this will let the game look good, and run good as well. Thanks Riot :)
