• Pit forms at 14 minutes
• Atakhan spawns at 20 minutes
• Location depends on which side has more champion damage/kills
• Baron spawn time moved 5 minutes later

Ruinous Atakhan (Top Lane Spawn):

• Deals damage in constricting rings
• Forces close-range combat
• Rewards:
  • Permanent enhancement to epic monster buffs
  • Blood Roses field for nearby champions

Voracious Atakhan (Bot Lane Spawn):

• Damage increases with missing health
• Similar to Fiddlesticks' W mechanic
• Rewards:

Blood Roses System:

• Provides permanent stacking Adaptive Force buff

The introduction of Atakhan adds strategic depth to the mid-late game transition, with rewards that can significantly impact team dynamics and comeback potential. Teams must carefully coordinate their approach, as the monster's mechanics create opportunities for both objective control and team fights.
