The 2022 season of League of Legends has begun and Riot Games has unveiled a new champion - Zeri!

League of Legends kicks off New Season 2022 today! In other words, the chase for raising Elo is available again on all servers.

Join the ranked queues to raise your rank and skill, and at the same time get acquainted with the innovations of the patch and the new ranged champion Zeri.

Meet Zeri!

Zeri is originally from Zaun, and her skills have the element of electricity. Zeri will find her place in the role of the ADC of the bottom lane. So far, Riot Games hasn't revealed specific skill set and numbers related information. Judging by the trailer, Zeri has quick deadly damage and rolls - which, as you know, not a single player of the bottom lane will refuse in order to be able to dodge enemy control. Zeri also has a dash that allows her to pass through walls, it is clear that the skill requires a short delay before using, which does not take away mobility as such, but will effectively work in attack and traps, and not for escape. Zeri's absolute skill - explodes in the area around her, inflicting AOE damage to enemies that hit. Also in one of the moments of the trailer, you can see a shield applied to Zeri - this can be her main passive skill or one of the active ones. It can be summed up that Zeri is a nimble bottom lane champion. A lover to quickly move around the map and just as lightning fast to deal with enemies, whether in an ambush or an open field.

Season 2022 & Riot Games Announcements

Riot Games will host a holiday broadcast in honor of the 2022 season, in which they will talk about upcoming plans and changes that await us in the near future. The broadcast will take place on the official Riot Games YouTube channel on January 7 at 6:00 pm Moscow time.

Update 12.1 - Highlights in Brief

CHAMPIONSDiana: An additional bonus to damage from the Blade of Moonglow (passive skill). Allows Diana to clean forest camps faster and increase damage to characters.

ABILITY DAMAGE RATIO 40% ⇒ 50% DAMAGE RATIO TO MONSTERS 250% ⇒ 300%

Gangplank: The mana cost and cooldown of Arrrgument[Q]have been reduced. It will have a positive effect on the current pirate's lane phase, which only truly skillful players are now able to withstand. MANA COST 60/55/50/45/40 ⇒ 55/50/45/40/35 COOLDOWN 5 seconds ⇒ 4.5 seconds

Rek'sai: Rebalanced due to heavy pressure in the late game.[E]Furious Bite base damage changed.[E]Tunnel cooldown increased at higher skill levels.

Vicious Bite[E]PHYSICAL DAMAGE 50/60/70/80/90 (+ 85% bonus attack damage) ⇒ 55/60/65/70/75 (+ 85% bonus attack damage) Tunnel[E]COOLDOWN 26/23/20/17/14 seconds ⇒ 26/24/22/20/18 seconds

Sona: Armor growth reduced. The recharge time of Song of Swiftness[E]has been increased. Following the preseason changes to Archangel's Staff, Riot Games found Sona to be too strong both at the high level of the game and at other levels.

ARMOR GROWTH 3.3 ⇒ 3 Song of Swiftness COOLDOWN 12 seconds ⇒ 14 seconds

ITEMS

Eclipse: This item was one of the most powerful with a lethality in the preseason, so they decided to weaken it. RISING MOON COOLDOWN (LOW COMBAT) 6 seconds ⇒ 8 seconds

Power of nature: the potential of the item has not been achieved in all its glory, a small buff should fix this situation. DEPOSIT STORAGE 5 seconds ⇒ 7 seconds DISPERSE MAGIC DAMAGE REDUCTION 20% ⇒ 25%

Crossbow of Immortality: Also one of the most popular offseason items on the bottom lane. The shield from the passive skill gave too much survivability to the wearer. ATTACK DAMAGE 55 ⇒ 50 LIFELINE SHIELD STRENGTH 300-800 (depending on level) ⇒ 275-650 (depending on level)

Death of Mind: Recipe changes due to the fact that it gave too much magic resistance for an attacking item in the early game. RECIPE Heat-loving Ax + Absorbing Cloak + Long Sword + 750 gold ⇒ Heat-loving Ax + Anti-Magic Mantle + Pickaxe + 675 gold (total cost unchanged) MAGIC RESIST 50 ⇒ 40

SPELLS OF THE SUMMER

Teleport: Riot Games is making major changes to this Summoner as it crowds out the others and prevents a new style of play from appearing on the top lane. It is also a major change for the game as a whole, as the Teleport mechanics have not changed much over time. UPDATED: TELEPORT COOLDOWN 420-210 seconds (depending on level) ⇒ 360 seconds at all levels NEW IMPROVED TELEPORT Teleport can only be applied to allied towers. When tower plates disappear at the 14th minute, the Teleport turns into a Reinforced Teleport that can be applied to allied towers, minions, totems and some objects created by allies (similar to the regular Teleport from the 2021 season). NEW: POWERFUL TELEPORT COOLDOWN 240 seconds
