The biggest change is the addition of a win condition. Either team could destroy the opposing base to claim victory, but they can also just get 60 kills. The idea, I imagine, is to stop that endgame drag that always happens in close matches. Both sides hunker down in their bases, carefully turning back creep tides and maybe jungling. But mostly they play it safe, retreating the moment a team fight seems to be going bad. It's tedious, boring, and only amplifies post-match toxicity because the stalemate usually ends when someone gets antsy and gives up a team fight. In Genesis, you can play it safe all you want but one side will eventually get 60 kills. In theory. In my 6-7 hours of play this only happened once. That match still went on a little too long. So while the ultimatum does pressure teams to actually push lanes, it isn't a complete cure for turtl

Each lane also has both a melee and a ranged barracks. Their function is somewhat counterintuitive, because by destroying the opposing barracks in a lane, your own creeps become stronger. Do they loot the barracks? Are they motivated by your heroes? Who knows, but this is a cornerstone of play in order to continually push down an enemy lane effectively. Not only do your creeps become stronger, they also award less experience and gold to the opposing team, and if they cannot counter by destroying your barracks, the opposing team become continually disadvantaged as a match progres

Even if you suffer a lot early game and die in lane quite a bit, you can still make a reliable reverse sweep in the middle and late game, as long as you manage your build and resources properly and plan your team fights.

This means that players will have a great deal of customization when it comes to creating a deck that suits their playstyle, and much like Magic , feels similar to creating decks around certain powerful Planeswalker cards. Braum for example is an excellent Champion in the early game as he acts as a wall to prevent Nexus damage, and eventually begins to provide an endless supply of addition units at no extra cost. Like other Champions, the effect of his ability will snowball in power if left unchec

Aphelios has 5 unique weapons that each start with 50 Moonlight (Ammo). His basic attacks cost 1 Moonlight, and his abilities (Q and R) cost 10.
