The new update introduces a new game mechanic called "Watch tower".
The watch tower is a tower like unit with 5000 HP and high gold reward
that is once on the green side of the map and once on the red side.
It gives vision in an area of 60/40 (day/night) and can attack enemy units.
The point of this structure is that if it gets destroyed the glyph -which is now
also in the game- of the watch tower owner is set on full cooldown (4.5 minutes). So the team
that destroyed the enemy watch tower can now push without being interrupted.
If a glyph is activated every structure of your team receives a buff that renders
it invulnerable for 6 seconds making it easier to react to pushes. The watch tower
is not affected by this buff making it a yes or no decision if your team
should defend it or not. Because both watch towers are in the jungles of their teams
they dont react to neutral creeps and their camps making it no change for junglers
gaining gold and XP.
In addition to the throne the tier 4 towers are now in position to defend the enemy target.
