On the battlefield, you can't rely on just your eyes.


Greetings Kiddies!

Before I get going, I'd like to throw in another gg for Blood Bath and Beyond for their stellar performance Tuesday night. 

Anyway in case you couldn't tell I wanted to discuss League and some of the changes that will be coming up in the pre-season. Probably the most discussed issue as of late has been the topic of wards. As many of you know wards play an intricate part of securing your teams victory by making sure as much of the map is revealed as possible to track the enemy team. This allows for counter play and denials of dragon and baron buff. However, the support players are generally tasked with shouldering this responsibility and since they make the least amount of income of everyone else on the team, it basically forces the support to get nothing but wards. Never fear, the trinket system is here! Trinkets are a free upgrade in their own seperate item slot to ensure that each player is given 1 of 3 abilities. A free ward, the clairvoyance spell and a spell to detect and disable wards and traps. All three trinkets will level up when you hit level 9 and can be upgraded again for a prince to increase the effectiveness. All the details about the new warding system, trinket system, masteries and support items can be found here. 


You can also check out Pawnce's youtube channel. He has a PBE account and is usually on top of reporting new changes on the PBE asap. Here's his trinket preview.
