The League of Legends preseason is coming and with it, its share of changes. Between 'Rise of the Elements', the new items, there is enough to get lost. Find all the changes on the runes in our article and more particularly those concerning the Kleptomancy rune which is completely modified with the arrival of patch 9.23.
Keystones
Replaces Kleptomancy
• [New Effect] Periodically gain a single use of another random keystone. Once a keystone is rolled, it can't be rolled again until only three options are left, at which point the table resets (you won't get the keystone you just used, though).
• Cooldown: Gain a new keystone 8-4 seconds (melee, lv 1-18) or 12-8 seconds (ranged, lv 1-18) after using the last. Scaling is weighted toward later levels.
• Auto-reroll: Gain a new keystone while out of combat after 40 seconds of not using a keystone
• Additional: Dark Harvest souls persist after you get a different keystone and affect all your other keystones. Grasp of the Undying's health persists after you get a different keystone, too.
• Available Keystones:
- Press the Attack
- Lethal Tempo
- Fleet Footwork
- Conqueror
- Summon Aery
- Arcane Comet
- Phase Rush
- Electrocute
- Predator (only if you have boots)
- Dark Harvest (souls amplify the effects of all keystones)
- Hail of Blades
- Grasp of the Undying
- Aftershock (only if you can trigger it on a basic ability)
- Glacial Augment
