League of Legends developers introduce more AP choices for the jungle role, beginning with Brand and Zyra

Riot Games to Introduce New Changes on Summoner’s Rift

Riot Games is set to shake up the jungle in the upcoming League of Legends Patch 13.21. Brand and Zyra will make their way into the jungle, while Morgana will receive buffs to enhance her roaming capabilities.

Constant Evolution in League of Legends Jungle

It’s no surprise that the jungle role in League of Legends is ever-changing. Whether it’s new champions, improved camps, or a focus on farming, the developers are always innovating.

New Ability Power Champions Join the Jungle Roster

Matt “Riot Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison, the gameplay design lead at Riot Games, has announced the latest changes for the jungle roster. Popular champions Brand, Zyra, and the occasional jungle pick Morgana will undergo adjustments in the next update.

We don’t have the full details of Morgana’s changes yet, but it’s likely that Riot will tweak her ability power ratios, durations, and damage, building on the recent buffs she received in the previous patch.

Brand and Zyra’s Transformation into Jungle Champions

Brand and Zyra will undergo specific changes to adapt to the jungle. From early leaks on the League of Legends PBE (Public Beta Environment), we know the following tweaks will be made:

  • Increased base attack speed
  • Increased attack speed growth
  • Increased Passive damage over time monster damage
  • Reduced E base damage

Zyra has already received several changes focused on her jungle performance, including increased base attack speed, enhanced Q damage and ability power ratio, reduced E base damage, increased E ability power ratio, and adjustments to plant damage and ability power ratio.

While players are eagerly waiting to see the impact of these adjustments, particularly for Zyra in different roles, there have been concerns about Brand’s viability in the jungle.

These changes are still subject to revision and will be rolled out in League of Legends Patch 13.21, expected to launch on October 25.
