League of Legends developers admitted that jungle timers have oversimplified the game - the amount of information revealed will be reduced
Improving the convenience of playing LoL has turned into problems.
For League of Legends, there are various timer applications for tracking abilities and monster spawns in the jungle. Riot Games took this into account and recently decided to expand the system of informationdisplayed within the game itself:
- Added monster camp timers on the mini-map.
- In the basic version, timers for epic monster camps are displayed. Timers for other camps are displayed when TAB is pressed.
- In the advanced version, timers for all camps are constantly displayed. You can change the option in the "Interface" section of the settings menu.
However, not everyone appreciated these innovations - players were able to see the full timer for enemy camps in the jungle, even if they did not see this camp being cleared.
A Riot Games representative responded to the criticism and confirmed the preparation of fixes:
"In update 25.18, we will significantly reduce the amount of information you receive when discovering cleared camps. We could possibly release a hotfix for this, however, the team's engineering resources are currently very limited, and the number of players who are deriving extreme benefit from this information is quite small (at least, we'll discuss it with the team). We are still discussing the correct level of information to display".
