Designer Note
Our original purpose of designing roaming equipment is to provide a way for the roaming heroes to farm, so that they will not farm too slowly without laning. However, with the recent changes to the battlefield resources in recent patches, currently the roaming equipment has provided excessive benefits in the early and mid game. Once other heroes make a slight mistake, the heroes with roaming equipment will surpass them in Gold or EXP, which is neither our original purpose nor a good experience for players. In addition, as the benefits from killing minions and creeps increased in the late game, the farming efficiency of the roaming equipment does not grow accordingly, which makes the advanced roaming equipment not so cost-effective. Therefore, we have made some balancing adjustments to the roaming equipment.

Designer Note
In the esports and top-rank matches, Assassins and some Marksmen can benefit from both farming and laning, which has been widely used currently. We are not going to forbid such a tactic, but we still expect more new tactics. Based on the suggestions from players, we've made some adjustments to jungling equipment for distinguishing Junglers from other heroes in lanes, in hopes that more Junglers can be played and gain advantage by roaming efficiently.
