Entwickler Riot Games hat heute den Patch 4.1 von League of Legends veröffentlicht und dazu erste Details bekanntgegeben. Konkret wird man vor allem mit diversen Änderungen bei altbekannten Charakteren zu rechnen haben.
Das neue Jahr begann vor zwei Wochen und schon ist wieder Zeit für neue Patches in Onlinespielen. Auch das MOBA League of Legends erhielt heute eine neue Aktualisierung, Entwickler Riot Games verkündete deshalb erste Informationen zum erfolgten Update.
Dieses hört auf die Versionsnummer 4.1 und soll laut dem Studio vor allem für einige Änderungen bei altbekannten Charakteren sorgen, betroffen sind unter anderem Jinx, Annie und Anivia. Dadurch wolle Riot Games vor allem für eine Modernisierung sorgen, weshalb auch einzelne Spielsysteme und Gegenstände überarbeitet wurden. Die kompletten Patchnotes findet ihr unten.
Hierbei handelt es sich lediglich um eine vorläufige Auflistung, wie ein Communitymanager des Studios anmerkt. Allerdings scheint man bei Riot ohnehin noch mit einigen anderen organisatorischen Dingen beschäftigt zu sein: Neben der wiederholten Entfernung der Magma Chamber-Karte trat kürzlich auch ein neuer Entwickler dem Team bei, Ghostcrawler, jahrelanger Angestellter bei Blizzard.
