League-of-legends – What effect do neutral buffs have in League of Legends

league-of-legends

I know it is desired to get the blue buff for Ability Power (AP)-base champions and the red buff for Attack Damage (AD)-base champions and baron buff is good for everybody. I think blue buff at least increases your mana regeneration and red buff your health regeneration. So far I don't have any experience with maps (and therefore its buffs) other than Summoners Rift – I would like to know about these too.

What do the buffs affect in detail (preferring concrete numbers)?

Best Answer

Summoners Rift buffs:

Information applies to Pre-season 5 and can be subject to change

Crest of Cinders (Red buff)

Granted by killing the Red Brambleback in either the Northern or Southern jungle.

  • Basic attacks slow the target's movement speed by (8-15)% for melee attacks and (5-10)% for ranged attacks for 3 seconds.
  • Basic attacks also deal 5-56 true damage over 3 seconds.
  • Grants health regeneration bonus of 1% maximum health every 5 seconds

Crest of Insight (Blue buff)

Granted by killing the Blue Sentinel in either the Eastern or Western jungle.

  • Regenerates 25 mana per 5 seconds
  • Regenerates .5% maximum mana (or energy) per second
  • 10% cool-down reduction.
  • Increases Max Energy (Cannot find source saying exact amount)

Both red and blue buffs last for 2 minutes without Runic Affinity and 2:24 minutes with it.

If slain, buffs held by the newly dead transfer to the killer.

Hand of Baron

  • Grants up to 40 AD and AP scaling with game time
  • Grants Empowered Recall reducing its channel time to 4 seconds. Successfully recalling will restore 50% of your maximum health and mana and grant 50% bonus movement speed for 8 seconds.
  • Buffs all nearby minions and super minions (exact information can be found in the link).

Lasts for 3 minutes with or without Runic Affinity.

If slain, the buff is lost but not transferred unlike the blue and red buffs.

Dragon Slayer

This is a permanent team-wide buff that stacks with the number of your team's dragon kills.

  1. Dragon's Might: +6% attack damage and ability power
  2. Dragon's Wrath: +15% damage to towers and buildings
  3. Dragon's Flight: +5% movement speed
  4. Dragon's Dominance: +15% damage to minions and monsters
  5. Aspect of the Dragon: Doubles all previous bonuses and your attacks burn for 150 true damage over 5 seconds, and also reveals the target for the duration. This stack only lasts 180 seconds.

Twisted Treeline buffs:

Crest of Crushing Wrath

Granted by killing Vilemaw, the boss monster located at the top of the map.

  • Bonus health regeneration
  • Bonus mana regeneration
  • Increased attack speed
  • 20% Cool-down reduction

(No source can be found with exact details, but this unspecific info was found on the wiki)

  • +3 gold on unit kill
Two Altars
