Patch 2.1.18: What to Play

·0 buffed·0 nerfed

The TL;DR

Project NEXT 2025 — annual map changes + new Abyss Marksman Obsidia.

What to play this patch

Obsidia first-pick / first-ban window. Roaming is a real climbing role again — reconsider your support/tank rotation patterns.

The meta shift

The yearly Project NEXT pass reshapes the battlefield (annual map changes) and rebalances Roaming Equipment gold generation so the roamer role has more impact. New hero Obsidia joins the Abyss roster with Bone Shard mechanics. Alice receives a full kit revamp.
