Death Timer Changes
As revealed by Spideraxe, Riot is testing out some early game Death Timer changes, making them longer. The changes are as follows.
- Level 1 Death Timer: 6 seconds >>> 10 seconds.
- Level 2 Death Timer: 6 seconds >>> 10 seconds.
- Level 3 Death Timer: 8 seconds >>> 12 seconds.
- Level 4 Death Timer: 8 seconds >>> 12 seconds.
- Level 5 Death Timer: 10 seconds >>> 14 seconds.
- Level 6 Death Timer: 12 seconds >>> 16 seconds.
- Level 7 Death Timer: 18 seconds >>> 20 seconds.
- Level 8 Death Timer: 21 seconds >>> 25 seconds.
- Level 9 Death Timer: 26 seconds >>> 28 seconds.
- Level 10 and Above Death Timers: Unchanged.
Numbers don’t do the changes justice as this could change the whole dynamic of the game. Longer Death Timers mean that an untimely death costs way more and enemies can take more advantages out of it.
Thus, this forces players to play safer and slower, thus changing average game times and more. The meta will likely shift as well.
While all that said, we do not know when Riot will ship these changes as there is no timeline provided. Hopefully, we will know about that soon.
