Insta-kill turrets, 25-second debuffs: Yes, LoL’s new anti-lane swap PBE changes are as ridiculous as they sound
As announced previously, Riot Games has gone forward with its plan to put an end to the lane-swapping epidemic that has been spreading through casual and professional League like wildfire. After initially implementing the system, the company went ahead and expanded it with even more ridiculous mechanics.
One of those is that turrets are now able to one-shot champions that trigger the lane-swapping detection system. Just a single hit and you’re gone, which is up from about two or three shots prior to these latest additions. Previously, only minions would get one-shot by turrets, with gold and XP they yield given to the nearest player without them having to actually land a hit of their own. There is also a very clear indicator that you are, in fact, partaking in lane swapping, and you’ll receive continuous messages notifying you to leave the lane immediately and avoid the wrath of Riot’s latest update. This all comes after Riot first introduced its anti-lane swapping system, aiming to stop massive ganks on top and mid in the early game, as well as to prevent controversial maneuvers where bot lane duos would go top as soon as the match starts to avoid a bad match-up.
