LoL Maps Will Change Lanes in the 2024 Season

League of Legends is a very complex game, with champions and items that take years to fully grasp; You may encounter more critical concepts such as containment, wave management, map macro, target control and much more. 

However, the complexity seems to increase as Riot Games decides to make changes to Summoner's Rift.

While the changes may seem small, they will have a big impact on how players control their lanes, how aggressive they can be, and how junglers gank their lanes.

Riot Games Makes Major Updates to Lanes

There will be several lane changes in the jungle at League of Legends Season Start .

Up lane

• The terrain on both sides will now be closely mirrored.
• A combination of bushes and small walls was applied towards the stream entrance.

Jungle

The only major map change to the jungle is the new large walls in both the Dragons and Baron pits.

Mid lane

The bushes at the river entrance in the middle lane have been moved back slightly. This will be useful for champions with less mobility who are threatened by ganks from enemies hiding in these bushes .

Bot lane

• The blue triple brush area on the bottom strip will be reflected on the red side.
• The two sides will be much more symmetrical and the advantages attached to the sides will decrease
• Added a small bush and wall combination to the river entrance, similar to the top lane

The developers want to bring more symmetry to the top and bottom lanes and security to the mid lane.

These changes will not only change laning phasing and objective control, but will also change the way flanks and teleports work during teamfights.
