Understanding Patch 2.1.47 Economy Changes
Patch 2.1.47 brings 4 buffs, 5 nerfs, 1 rework impacting economy meta. Key changes:
- Floryn: Increased Flower of Hope equipment bonus strengthens roam support
- Eudora: Complete rework adds AOE damage, creating assist gold opportunities
- Demon Hunter Sword: Stat adjustments shift carry power spikes, affecting assist gold timing
Thriving passive operates on two-phase timeline:
- Before 8 minutes: 6 gold + 12 XP per 5 seconds (72 gold/minute)
- After 8 minutes: 9 gold + 18 XP per 5 seconds (108 gold/minute)
Blessing tiers unlock at:
- Tier 1: 200-500 gold (2-3 minutes)
- Tier 2: 1000 gold (5 minutes, second Turtle timing)
- Tier 3: 2000 gold cap (13 minutes)
Devotion passive varies by season:
- Season 5: Blocks 50% minion/creep gold first 8 minutes
- Seasons 7/13: Provides 30% independent gold instead
Roam Item Mechanics
Roaming Boots (600 gold): +40 movement speed, +18 magic defense
Four blessing options:
- Conceal: 5s camouflage + 40% movement speed for ganks
- Encourage: 13-33 power + 33% attack speed (Seasons 2/5) or 20 power + 10% attack speed (Season 3)
- Favor: Heals lowest-HP ally 400 HP over 10s
- Dire Hit: 12% max HP hybrid damage when enemies drop below 35% HP
Reveal mechanic: 50 gold + 50 XP after 5s vision on enemies. Vision-checking every 30s generates 300-400 gold per match.
Assists: 50 XP each. Target 5-7 assists by 5 minutes for Tier 2 blessing timing.
Why Teams Are Gold-Starved
Three failures create deficits:
Roam Blessing vs Roam Curse
Blessing: Generates passive gold through Thriving, unlocks tier abilities Curse: Triggers when violating farm priority
Devotion enforcement:
- Season 5: Taking minion/jungle gold reduces core income by 50%
- Seasons 7/13: Only 30% independent gold from waves—you get 45 gold from 150-gold wave while zoning cores
Farm Distribution Mistakes
Over-clearing syndrome: Each wave = 150 gold cores need. Marksman reaching first item at 9 minutes vs 7 minutes loses two minutes peak damage.
Jungle invasion timing errors: Arriving after jungler commits abilities slows clear speed. Provide vision at entrances instead.
Wave freezing ignorance: Mindlessly attacking near enemy towers pushes waves where cores can't farm safely.
Rotation Errors
Static positioning: Camping single lane 90+ seconds misses 100-200 gold in reveals, assists, objectives.
Pre-objective timing failures: Optimal sequence—clear wave 20s before objective, move as group 15s before, claim bushes 10s before.
Minimap neglect: Check every 5-10 seconds. Every 30+ seconds = outdated information, missed intercept ganks.
New Rotation Rules for Optimal Economy
Early Game (0-4 Minutes)
1:30 - Secure buff: Vision control + body-block for jungler. Assist gold: 50-100 gold + 50 XP.
2:00 - Contest Turtle: 200 gold per ally. Arrive with Tier 1 blessing unlocked (1-2 assists + passive).
3:00 - EXP Lane dive: Blessing active + laner abilities = 200+ assist gold.
Mid Game (4-10 Minutes)
4:00 - Second Turtle: Tier 1 unlocked, approaching Tier 2 (1000 gold ~5 min).
6:00 - Third Turtle: Should have 1200-1400 total gold (600 boots, 400-600 passive, 200-400 assists/reveals).
8:00-9:00 - Lord pressure: Establish deep vision. Each reveal = 50 gold while denying enemy prep.
10:00 - Lord conversion: 300 gold per ally. Clear wave 20s before, move 15s before, claim bushes 10s before.
Late Game (10+ Minutes)
After Tier 3 blessing (2000 gold, ~13 min), income = assists + reveals + objectives only.
Item timing benchmarks:
- Roaming Boots: 3 minutes
- First core: 9 minutes
- Second core: 14 minutes
Vision control: Each reveal still 50 gold. Vision denial prevents enemy Lord/Turtle setups.
Map Quadrant Priority
Divide map: your jungle, enemy jungle, your lanes, enemy lanes.
60s before objective: Prioritize river—vision, ward clearing, positioning.
90+ seconds to objective: Prioritize quadrant where cores most vulnerable—vision + counter-gank presence.
Item Timing Benchmarks
Roaming Boots: 2-3 Minutes
600 gold unlocks Thriving immediately. Combined with 1-2 assists = Tier 1 blessing (200-500 gold) by 2-3 minutes.
Delaying past 3 minutes cascades: Tier 2 from 5 min → 6-7 min, Tier 3 from 13 min → 15+ min.
First Core Item: 7-9 Minutes
Gold sources:
- 420-540 passive (7-9 min × 60 gold/min avg)
- 400-600 assists (8-12 assists)
- 400 Turtles (first + second)
- 150-300 reveals
Missing = 11-12 min completion indicates missed Turtles (400 gold), insufficient assists (200-300 gold), neglected vision (100-200 gold).
Second Core Item: 12-14 Minutes
Additional 1500-2000 gold from:
- 300-450 passive (5-7 min × 60-90 gold/min)
- 300-400 assists (6-8 more)
- 200 third Turtle
- 300 first Lord (if secured at 10 min)
What Timings Reveal
Early delays (boots 4-5 min): Poor buff contests, missed 2-min Turtle, unnecessary deaths.
Mid delays (first core 11-12 min): Missed Turtles, insufficient ganks.
Late delays (second core 16-18 min): Death spiral—behind in gold → weaker fights → more deaths → further delays.
Maximizing Assist Gold
15-20 assists across 20 minutes = 750-1000 gold (5-7 waves without roam curse).
Positioning for Assists
Ganks: Approach from angles cutting escape routes, not behind damage dealers. Ensures assist credit while blocking retreat.
Teamfights: Peel for carries over diving backline. Divers get 1-2 assists then die. Peelers get assists on all kills while surviving.
Wave Management Without Curse
After Tier 2/3 blessing, Devotion penalties reduce.
Slow-push before objectives: Clear casters, leave melee alive. Creates 60-90s build-up forcing enemies to choose: defend tower or contest objective.
Fast-clear after won fights: When enemies dead 30-40s, clear waves and push towers. Denies comeback farm (300-500 gold swings per wave).
Jungle Coordination
Invade opposite side: If jungler clears blue, establish vision at enemy red. Creates ganks without competing for camps.
Buff leashing: Arrive 5s before spawn, tank initial damage, leave before camp dies. Saves jungler 3-5s per camp = 30-45s over 15 min = 200-300 gold equivalent.
Vision Control's Hidden Economy
Direct: 50 gold per 5s reveal Indirect: 1500-2000 gold through prevented deaths + secured objectives
30-second cycles checking jungle entrances + river bushes = 600-800 gold directly across 20 minutes.
Vision Denial Gold Swings
Each major objective vision denial = 300-500 gold swing:
- Your team secures (gains gold)
- Enemy loses (loses gold)
- Kills during face-checks (bonus gold)
Three objectives (two Turtles, one Lord) = 900-1500 gold advantage.
Optimal Ward Placement
River bushes: Consistent reveals as enemies check objectives Jungle entrances: Catch rotations between lanes Deep enemy jungle: Reveals carries farming alone = 3v1 collapse for 200-300 gold Defensive wards: Prevent ganks = preserve 200-300 gold per prevented death
Anti-Snowball Draft Strategies
Late-Game Scaling Tanks
Percentage-based damage: Dire Hit's 12% max HP scales with enemy itemization. Threatening even when behind.
CC-heavy tanks: 3s hard CC contributes equally at 6000 or 10000 gold.
Counter-Meta Picks
Counter enemy cores with specific neutralizers. Heavy physical damage → armor-scaling tanks reduces effective gold advantage 30-40%.
Anti-carry tanks: Locking down 12000-gold carry neutralizes 4000-5000 gold worth of items through CC.
Team Composition Balance
Optimal distribution:
- 2 high-economy cores (Gold/Jungle): 800-1000 gold/min
- 1 medium-economy core (EXP): 600-700 gold/min
- 2 low-economy supports (Roam/Mid): 400-500 gold/min
Total: 3200-3900 gold/min team economy.
Comeback Mechanics
Objective Trading When Behind
Concede enemy Turtle (1000 total) while taking their tower (400 + lane pressure) = better scaling than losing fight + both objectives.
Defensive farming: Concede outer towers while cores farm side lanes safely.
Turtle vs Lord Priority
When ahead: Prioritize Turtle (safe 200/player every 2 min) When behind: Prioritize Lord (300/player + pushing power erases 2000-3000 deficits)
Vision 60-90s before Lord = catch face-checks for 4v5/3v5 fights favoring you despite gold deficit.
Force Fights vs Scale
Force: When you complete items while enemies between timings. Temporary power spike wins fights despite 1000-gold deficit.
Scale: When enemies just completed items. Avoid 2-3 min while farming to complete yours.
Track enemy items via scoreboard every 60-90s.
Role-Specific Economy Rules
Tank Roamer Gold Sources
5 sources over 15 minutes:
- Thriving passive: 720-1080 gold
- Assists: 750-1000 (15-20 assists)
- Objectives: 600-900 (Turtles + Lord)
- Reveals: 400-600 (vision control)
- Limited waves: 200-400
Total target: 6000-8000 gold at 15 min (vs 12000-15000 for cores = 50-60% ratio).
Core Position
Require 800-1000 gold/min through:
- 90%+ last-hit accuracy (135+ per wave vs 150)
- Full jungle clear every 90-100s
- Major objective participation
Jungler Clear Patterns
Full clear (both buffs + small camps) every 90-100s = 400-500 gold/cycle.
Use 20-30s between respawns for ganks/vision/objectives—NOT lane farm.
Support Economy
Contribution through enabling, not personal gold. 10 assists (500 personal) enabling 3000 core farm/kills > 1500 personal with minimal assistance.
Common Economy Mistakes
Tanks Never Touch Minions Misconception
After Tier 2 blessing (1000 gold, ~5 min), limited interaction acceptable when:
- Cores dead/based (wave would be lost)
- Setting slow pushes (clear casters before objectives)
- Fast-clear after won fights (deny comeback farm)
Over-Roaming Trap
Constant movement without purpose wastes passive gold time.
Fix: 30s vision cycles + objective timings. No objective in 60s + no ganks = position where cores most vulnerable.
Item Rush vs Balanced Build
Single expensive item (2500+ gold) delays power vs multiple medium items (1200-1800 gold).
Boots (600g) + two medium items (3600g total) at 10 min > Boots + one expensive (3100g total).
Most items provide 80-90% value in first 1500 gold.
Ignoring Power Spikes
Complete item while enemies 500-1000 gold from theirs = 90-120s window to force fights.
Check scoreboard every 60-90s. If enemies just completed items while you're 800 gold away, avoid fights 2-3 min.
Pro-Level Optimization Checklist
Pre-Game
- Review composition economy: high (800+), medium (600-700), low (400-500) gold/min roles
- Assign roles by player skills: farming efficiency → cores, assist generation → roam
- Plan objectives by power spikes: early comp → aggressive Turtles, late comp → defensive + Lord
In-Game Tracking
Check scoreboard every 90-120s:
- 5 min: 1500-2000 gold
- 10 min: 3500-4500 gold
- 15 min: 6000-8000 gold
Monitor assists:
- 5 min: 5-7 assists
- 10 min: 10-14 assists
- 15 min: 15-20 assists
Blessing tiers: Tier 1 by 2-3 min, Tier 2 by 5 min, Tier 3 by 13 min.
Post-Game Analysis
Final gold: 10000-13000 in 20-min matches (tanks), 18000-22000 (cores).
Item timings: Each 2-min delay = 300-400 missed gold.
Assist ratio: Target 0.8-1.0 assists/min for tanks.
