General Changes

Gameplay & Systems Updates

This patch focuses on reducing frustration around Augments and champion quality of life.

Gameplay & Systems Updates

For Poro Blaster, we've adjusted its knockback behavior to be less punishing for melee champions. It will now only knock back once when you have 5 Poros, and we've reduced the respawn timer to keep the action flowing. We've also made a small adjustment to Void Rift to make its periodic damage less overwhelming.

Vengeful Poros

Poros now use their muscular arms to move and attack players who hoard poro snax, dealing 1 true damage repeatedly until one of them gets fed.

Cheerful Poros

A Poro (or Wharf Rat) will welcome players in chat at game start.

Poro Snax now visually look like cheeseburgers.
