Wukong, the Monkey King, has received enhancements to his sustain and clone mechanics, making him even more formidable than before.

Gameplay Updates
Patch 5.0 brings some new items to the Rift that can be quite useful in gameplay. These new items are the Heartsteel, which can increase your character’s health pool, the Titanic Hydra, which can provide splash damage, and the Spear of Shojin, which can offer movement speed and cooldown bonuses. Additionally, the minion changes in this patch have reduced the pressure on structures, and the Rift Herald now targets enemy turrets directly.
Terrain and Pet System
Riot Games has introduced a new alcove in the Baron Lane, which can be utilized by players to make strategic plays and gain an upper hand in the game.
