There is a lot to take apart from this meme, as it showcases a lot of the confusing mechanics of the top lane.

So far, there does not seem to be much of a change in which items players prioritize in game, however the price difference has meant that matches see a longer delay before they can be purchased, or they are forgone entirely in favor of saving up for another, more expensive item a little earlier.

Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020.

League of Legends has always had this problem as well, with certain items and Plankton gameplay abilities having a confusing amount of detail while effects like Grievous Wounds aren’t always properly explained on every item.
