Riot just released the new 2024 Gameplay Preview and it comes with multiple changes. Since there will probably be alot of discussion about items and mapchanges i wanted to appreciate the removal of Stopwatch (and the rune that gave a free stopwatch)!
I have never been a huge fan of stopwatch personally and it kind of impacted my viewing experience in Proplay given how much better chinese and korean players were using this item compared to EU or NA.
I want to thank riot for removing stopwatch and would like to know how the league community feels about this change!
Note: Zonyas Hourglas will still be in the game in a changed version with +60MR and +60 Armor - NO ap or ad. Seems like it will only be viable on tanks
