Patch 0.18.6: map polish and smarter bots

Medium and Hard bots take turrets, brush and turret spots are reworked, and a bigger Gloomfang lair.

Smarter bots

  • Medium and Hard bots now take turrets: they hit a turret once their minions are tanking it, join in when their wave reaches a turret or inhibitor, and push together when enemy champions are dead.
  • Easy bots are unchanged.

Map

  • Inhibitor turrets are back on their real spots, and every lane turret sits in the middle of its lane.
  • Brush reworked: two patches beside the health relic, small patches on the top edge of the centre island and under the island south of the relic, and a thin gank brush across each jungle path into the bottom lane.
  • The brush beside the altars stays, the brush by Gloomfang's lair is smaller, and the brush along the bottom lane's lower wall is gone.
  • No brush is close enough to a turret for a champion to attack it from inside.
  • Gloomfang's lair is bigger and round, so the whole spider-web floor shows. His tombstone stands at the top of the lair and he rises just below it.
  • The wall below the bottom lane is lower, so you can see the whole lane.

Looks

  • Old, broken stonework rings around every turret, with a different design around the inhibitors.
  • A little grass growing through the paths, stone steps from the jungle into the lanes, and lights along the walls in front of each nexus.
