With Season 14 of League of Legends, this protective thing disappeared, and players are delighted

For a little less than a week now, players have been able to discover Season 14 of League of Legends, a season that, as always, has brought its share of changes. The map has been reworked, new monsters have arrived in Summoner’s Rift, and mythic items have been removed. Some of the older ones have also received a slight facelift. One of them, Iconic, saw his recipe change, causing the second-tier item to disappear, much to the delight of players!

If you haven’t yet stepped into Summoner’s Rift since the start of Season 14, you probably haven’t noticed this change, which seems trivial on paper, but will delight fans. indeed, Recipe for Zhonya’s Hourglass, a favorite item for mages looking to protect themselves

changed.

If the full item’s effect hasn’t changed, even though its overall cost has increased, you’ll definitely notice that the recipe no longer includes a timer since the item has simply been discarded. As a reminder, before completing Zonia, You can activate the timer once (before it breaks) putting you in stasis and thus targeting yourself for 2.5 seconds..

A protective and very useful item. You’d think the community would be sad to see it disappear, but it’s not.

The community is delighted

Since its introduction in 2017, the impact of the stopwatch has been felt on the professional scene – especially as it puts a brake on commitments, and therefore, on action. The real problem is that it was available very (too?) early, or even for free via the Inspiration rune tree that allowed you to a few minutes after the start of the game. Who would risk diving their opponent in the early game once the item is in their inventory? (Yes, maybe Bronze, but definitely not Pro).

Removing the timer should affect the pro scene, but also our games. Players will no longer have such strong protection from the early game, allowing their opponents to try more daring moves.

“I’m so glad the clock isn’t in the game anymore? I just watched a few LEC games today and we finally don’t have more wacky outplays due to inept buttons.” said kiknalex on Reddit. An opinion shared by many in the comments of their publication.

certainly, There is still a timer option with the new Savant’s armguard, which also has the same stasis as an active property. But this costs 1600 gold and you can’t get one of the ingredients for free via runes. Hence an alternative much less viable, and much less powerful than the fire chronometer it was now.
