The biggest impact of this change will be felt by supports.
Of all the changes, one of the big changes in patch 7.33 was to the sources of experience.
Outpost XP was removed and Tome of Knowledge was removed from the game.
In place of those, the Wisdom Rune was introduced.
GosuGamers already took a look atwhere the Wisdom Runes are and what makes them important.
Outpost and Tome XP has been extremely important for supports.
Outposts have been kept out of this comparison as they were passive XP.
However and this is a big one the first two Wisdom Runes are lower than the first two Tomes.
Why is that important?
That has been shown below in the graph below.
However, that inversion takes place somewhere around the 40thminute.
Before that, the two XP sources in the pre 7.33 era provided more experience.
Theres a lot to unpack here.
So no more Outposts and no more high experience in the early game from Tomes.
This means supports are bound to have a more difficult time in the early game.
But that is not the end of it.
I am only level 4!But I have an empty bottle.
What are you gonna do?
Thats not the only issue.
That was something which wasnt possible with Outposts or Tomes.
Of course, you could deny Outpost XP, but never gain double by controlling both Outposts.
A team getting both Wisdom Runes at the 35thminute is a 2800 XP swing in an instant.
