  • Top lane and bottom lane’s side path tree line has been adjusted such that lane wards have more visibility and flexibility.
  • The tree space above Hellbourne’s top lane Tier 1 tower has been adjusted so that its layout is more similar to the tree space below Legion’s bottom lane Tier 1 tower.
  • Each of the above points have been adjusted to make lane performance more symmetrical between both teams.
  • Fixed a small pathing issue in a small tree patch to the bottom-right of Hellbourne’s middle lane Tier 1 tower.
  • The side paths near Legion’s top lane Tier 2 tower and Hellbourne’s bottom lane Tier 2 tower have been completely removed.
  • There still exists a small side path near their respective Tier 1 towers to reward their opponents for destroying those Tier 1 towers and obtain a small edge in ganking near the respective Tier 2 towers. The level of ease to gank Tier 2 towers has been drastically reduced with the above change, however.
