After weeks of slogging through the preseason, the start of the new League of Legends season is here. With the release of Patch 6.24 Wednesday, a new ranked season will begin, with a very different-looking rift than last year.
This is the second follow-up patch of the preaseason cycle, after 6.23 made some minor tweaks as the data came in. This patch is larger, with more changes than the previous one and a new champion coming to the Rift.
Below are just the changes: if you want more context, read the full patch notes here.
