Season preview

What changed

Role quests go live January 8, rewarding lane dominance across top, mid, and bot.

Top laners gain free Teleport or an upgraded version with a max-health shield, plus bonus XP and higher level cap. Mids unlock tier-3 boot upgrades and a 4-second empowered recall. Bot laners get lump-sum gold, ongoing gold gen, and a seventh slot for boots—freeing up a legendary item.

Progress ramps up fastest in lane via CS, plates, towers, and objectives. Atakhan's removal shifts jungle focus to Baron at 20 minutes and pure river control, making early wave priority even more critical for quest-carrying cores.

Prep

Draft checklist

Build around quest accelerators for pro queues.

  • Top lane bullies that farm plates and secure epic objective assists.
  • Midlaners with recall efficiency and roam potential to hit quest thresholds.
  • Scaling ADCs or duelists that leverage the seventh item slot post-quest.

Coach notes

Treat quests like mini-objectives: secure lane for top/mid, protect bot scaling. If contested, pivot to cross-map assists—roaming mids can fast-track multiple completions.

  • Prioritize banning enemy quest enablers in Fearless Draft first rotation.
  • Track lane priority swaps—quest progress accelerates with uncontested waves.
  • Avoid overloading one role; stagger quest completions for multi-lane spikes.
