Riot Games has introduced two new Prestige Magma Chamber skins in League of Legends Patch 26.15. These cosmetic additions follow ongoing adjustments to the game's bot lane, where developers are currently working to rebalance the power dynamic between marksmen and AP mages.
Acquiring Prestige Magma Chamber Jax
Prestige Magma Chamber Jax is exclusive to the Classic Pass: Act I. Unlike modern battle passes, this system allows players to select rewards using Classic Pass Coins earned through missions rather than unlocking them via levels.
- Pass Cost: 1550 RP.
- Total Requirement: Players must spend 625 Coins to reach the final tier, followed by an additional 100 Coins to purchase the skin.
- Note: While a white chroma exists for this skin, it is currently unavailable through the Classic Pass: Act I.
Acquiring Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar
Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar is tied to the Season 3: Act I Pass, which utilizes a traditional linear progression system. The skin, bundled with a border icon, is the final reward in the 48-tier track.
- Base Pass Cost: 1650 RP.
- Bundle Cost: 2650 RP (includes the Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar Vivid chroma and the Ghostly Poro emote).
Bot Lane Meta Adjustments
These cosmetic releases coincide with gameplay shifts intended to address mage dominance in the bot lane. To promote traditional marksman play, Riot Games has implemented the following balance changes in Patch 26.16:
- Support Roaming: Out-of-lane gold and XP penalties have increased from 25% to 33% for levels 3 through 5.
- Item/Rune Buffs: Berserker’s Greaves and the Fleet Footwork rune have received buffs.
- Survivability: ADC base magic resist has been increased, though magic resist growth has been reduced.
- Summoner Spells: The Heal spell has received a direct buff.
These changes aim to favor marksmen like Jinx, Caitlyn, Zeri, and Kai’Sa, shifting the meta away from roaming support strategies that have previously incentivized mage picks.
