League Of Legends Reveals Ascension Game Mode
League of Legend's latest featured game mode, Ascension, has a new trailer today alongside some gameplay details. In Ascension, players will work together to take down Ancient Ascendant Xerath in the center of the map to acquire tremendous power.
Players that take down Xerath will receive bonus health, infinite mana, cooldown reduction, AD and AP, and armor/magic penetration, In short, the right character with the ascended buff can probably cut through an entire team. To prevent things from getting completely out of control and ensuring that the match doesn't end with one ascension, healing and regeneration effects only work at 50% on the ascended, and the enemy has complete vision of the player at all times.
Players can earn rewards exclusive to the new game mode by participating, including new Shurima icons. The most sought after icon will come only from completing the Perfect Ascension challenge, where your team must win the match, earn the ascension buff at least once, and never allow the opponent to claim it.
