Come sempre grazie a Surrenderat20, abbiamo una vista generale di questa patch, che dovrebbe (come di consuetudine) arrivare live Mercoledì 29 Giugno.
La patch è piuttosto contenuta, oltre alle 2 nuove skins troviamo qualche bilanciamento generale e niente di più, il grosso è sempre in testing nel PBE, ossia la nuova modalità “Nexus Siege” e il nuovo Client, che forse verranno rilasciati nella prossima patch (Nexus Siege molto probabile, il nuovo Client non troppo).

New Champion Skins

Two new skins this cycle – Soulstealer Vayne and Deep Sea Nami!

Soulstealer Vayne

[This will be a crafting exclusive skin, just like Hextech Annie! More context here.]

[Click here for instagram preview that went out early.]
  

[Q while R is active]

Here’s Galetta with a bugs & feedback thread for Soulstealer Vayne:

“One more for the collection….

Soulstealer Vayne includes:

• All-new model and textures!
• All-new particles!
• New recall animation!
• All-new SFX on spells and recall!

This skin will be loot-exclusive, but 1 IP during PBE to easily test her out! Like Hextech Annie, she can be crafted from 10 gemstones or can drop as a rare shard.

We plan on adding new exclusive content to Hextech crafting several times a year — and just like this Vayne skin, it won’t always be Hextech-themed. As we add more loot-exclusive content, we’ll also be exploring opportunities for players to purchase limited amounts of gemstones!

For this loot exclusive skin we will be adding a 1 IP gemstone to the PBE store to ensure players are able to acquire the skin for testing purposes!

Your feedback and bug reports are extremely helpful to us, so please check out Soulstealer Vayne and let us know what you think! Feel free to drop any bugs you find in this thread as well.

See you on the Rift!”

Here’s the bugs and feedback thread for Deep Sea Nami from KateyKhaos:

“Deep Sea Nami is swimming her way from the deep, up onto the Rift (she’s not flopping around)!

Deep Sea Nami is set to be 1350 RP* and includes –

• All new models and texture – Nami is now a dark and mysterious creature from deep under the sea! Angler fish have found their way into her /taunt, as well as a giant deep sea fish in her (R) Tidal Wave!
• New recall animation, as well as new jiggle animations for the lure on her head!
• All new particles including a jellyfish on her (W) Ebb and Flow!
• New sound effects on all spells and recall, and she’s complete with new VO processing (blub blub)!

Deep Sea Nami is now available to play on the PBE! As players who experience a firsthand look at this content, we appreciate constructive feedback – feel free to leave it in the comments below! If you have any questions, you can also drop them below and I’ll do my best to answer them! ^-^

GLHF! 

*Prices subject to change.”

 

Miscellaneous 

• Riot Wingfield has confirmed on reddit that the Hextech Ward skin will be releasing beside Soulstealer Vayne and will also be purchasable with gem stones (currently priced at 5 on PBE). Here’s a video preview in case you missed it earlier this year:

• A weird “Ward Celebration” string was added, not sure what this is for…

game_buff_tooltip_WardCelebration:

“The Distinguished Order of Ward Longevity and Health

Perhaps this ward has been protected. Perhaps it has merely sat in a disused lane.

Whatever the case, it has persisted for eons in ward years and joins an ancient regal order of Wards that have lasted a really really really long time.

Source: Time”

• Two esports icons added for TCL – Team Turquality, OyunFor.CREW

 

• [This was fixed in the 6/21 Update] [BUG] Hyena Warwick is was broken this cycle, a different texture was erroneously added and has overwritten his intended texture. What is interesting is that, while a rough or WIP asset, the added texture is a notably a different  design & color than Hyena Warwick.
  •  Here is an in-game picture and the assets – added texture / normal texture.

 

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn’t make it in – don’t freak out! These are not official notes.

General

Experience 

[Click here for full context post on these XP changes from Xypherous.]

• Champion Kill XP Adjustments
  • “Champions are now worth less XP at levels 1 to 9 relative to live – this is more pronounced at early levels – 1 / 2 / 3.”

• XP Rubberbanding Adjustments
  • “Currently, our experience rubberbanding kicks in incredibly hard at certain breakpoints. For example, for minions – you gain no rubberband EXP until you are 4 levels below the average of the enemy team.”
  • “We’re making two major changes to our rubberband system:
    • XP difference is now calculated continuously – rather than by integers – The EXP system now considers that you can be 2.5 levels behind rather than 2, for example.
    • In general, rubberband bonuses will kick in earlier than they have previously – with reduced early coefficients. “

• XP “Soak” Rules
  • “After dying, Champions are still considered eligible to ‘soak’ experience from enemy champion kills even if they did not score an assist on that target for a period of time – roughly 10 seconds for now.”
  • “They still aren’t eligible for minion EXP while dead.”
  • “Note that this doesn’t affect most tower dives – as you gained experience from a tower assisted kill even post death previously. “

• Killing wards now grants experience
  • Wards give 30 XP when slain.
  • Blue Trinket wards give 15 xp when slain.
