League of Legends Season Start 2024 (pre-season 2024) is set to introduce major void changes that includes the Baron Nashor, Rift Herald, Void camps, Voidgrubs, and Voidmites. Here is everything that we know about these changes so far.

The Baron Nashor and Rift Herald are two of the biggest focal points in the Summoner’s Rift within League of Legends. These two neutral objectives are contested in every game that is played and they are one of the key defining factors (dragons being the other one) surrounding the amount of gold teams earn and whether they are able to drop the enemy Nexus.

However, Riot Games is bringing some changes to the Baron Nashor and the Rift Herald in the upcoming season. Additionally, the developers are also introducing new objectives called Voidgrubs, Voidmites, and Void camps.

Here is all that you need to learn about these upcoming changes in League of Legends Season Start 2024.
