Continue reading for all the latest PBE goodies, including Arclight Varus being enabled for testing, new particles for Bewitching Nidalee, a sparkly new scoreboard, updated Red/Blue/Baron particles, a new "HUD animations" option, and a slew of champion/item changes.
( REMEMBER: Everything on the PBE is tentative and subject to change )
Arclight Varus Available for testing
The new Varus skin is now available for purchase and testing on the PBE. He still doesn't have any splash art but, on the champion info page, you can click to the right of Blight Crystal Varus and unlock him.
Bewitching Nidalee Particles
They worked out a few kinks with the Nidalee visual update, including some new particles for Betwitching Nidalee. Enjoy the bats.
New Scoreboard look
Scoreboard got a make over to make it fit with the new UI. It's awesome looking but I couldn't find an opacity option...
New Blue, Red, and Baron Buffs particles
A new set of particles for the various neutral monster buffs snuck their way into this patch. The buffs now "tier" in on themselves and don't overlap.
Hecarim with blue and red. |
Fid with Baron, Kog with Baron, WW with Baron and Blue. |
New font is present but it looks like it's for the Greek localization. Probably won't stick around but I figured I'd mention it since it's everywhere on the PBE.
New HUD Animations
(Edit: I did, indeed, missed this a patch or so ago ) Unless I straight up missed this last patch, there are now some animated, spinning blue crystals around your HP/Mana bars you can activate through the Video option tab.
Champion Changes
A few of the tanky junglers got buffs to, I assume, help them out in the new jungle.

DeleteSO HARDCORE
DeleteHey Fey, keep updating Void Fizz thread on the forums!
Deletei tried texturing that skin, but i don't have the 3d maya skills to actually make the damn thing worthwile. also i tried swaping maz void for fizz bait. and guess what. it didnt work.
DeleteI've been thinking of trying the same, but hope they will actually make it! It could be Legendary easily... great concept :)
DeleteTons of damage.
ReplyDeleteI too read Reddit.
Delete^ do you even lift
DeleteI should probably start seeing as how I am not happy with my appearance, but I can't stand going to the gym. Also the HUD animations *option* was in the last patch, but the actual animations were just added this patch.
DeleteDo you even Rift?
DeleteI do the twist

DeleteSEJUANI BUFFS
ReplyDeleteSEJUANI BUUUUUFFFFFFSSSSSSSSS
I can't fucking believe it.
DeleteAwwww yeah!
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrb3z7nqgNQ&feature=g-like
It's about time too!!!
DeleteProbably one of the most non-influential buffs this patch to be fair, shes only get 3 armor and 1 second of time on W
Deletesejuani buffs plus the new haunting guise upgrade, that W is going to hurt so much
ReplyDeleteSejuani BUFF!!!! THERE IS A GOD!
ReplyDeleteThese changes were probably made so they can be more jungle-friendly (aka viable) and not die so easlily.
ReplyDeleteI think Hecarim boost was to give him back the attack damage he use to get from starting with boots, other than that it don't affect his jungle at all, what they need to do is remove the Q penalty on minions, the Jungle is harder, there is no excuse to have that thing slowing him down.
DeleteIt says blood thirsters combine cost has been reduced down to 650 from 1000. I thought its combine cost was 900?
ReplyDeleteIn the live servers, the combine cost is 900. In the PBE, it was 1000 until this recent update, where it was reduced to 650.
Deletehttp://imgur.com/a/yKjVM#106
DeleteIt was 1k
wasn't Bloodthirster's previous cost 900 instead of 1000. either way with the price of vamp scepter going up, makes sense that the combine cost would go down
ReplyDeletehttp://imgur.com/a/yKjVM#106
DeleteIt was 1k
The 100 gold was mitigated from the BF Sword (new cost: 1550) to the combine cost of the Bloodthirster (new cost: 1000). They must've recently realized that they hadn't dealt with the increase of the VampScepter, so they decreased the Bloodthirster down to 650.
DeleteOh god, I really hope they add an opacity option to the scoreboard.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that would be great...
DeleteThat is a really good idea!
DeleteHas anyone noted the new animation for Frozen heart? Looks like when your effected by it a snowflake is above the person who has the FH
ReplyDeleteThew new buff icons are extremely hard to see.
ReplyDeleteDo not like.
<= prefers old buff particle effects
ReplyDeleteDitto
DeleteLooks like the Lion Dancing Kog may is saying : " Bitch Please"
ReplyDeleteI really wish Bewitched Nidalee would come back on a special. Totally sucks I missed that one. :( especially since they are giving it extra love in the VU.
ReplyDeleteshe won't come back since she's limited and not legacy. Sorry for you
DeleteI wish I could have been there to buy all of Nidalee's limited edition skins, I like the all D:
DeleteGood thing that I grabbed Leopard skin when it went on legacy sale :p. A good 130 RP wasted XD
DeleteGIVE ME MY SPLASHES, RIOT.
ReplyDeleteYayyyyyyyyyyyyy. A year later and Bewitching Nidalee finally gets the Haunting Nocturne effect! Yay for bats!
ReplyDeleteRiot whys you make me wish I had that nidaly skin eaven moars now ;...(, the bats almost double how much I wanted since I first started christmas time last year.
ReplyDeleteWhaaat? No splash arts yet??
ReplyDelete"ARE YOU READY? DO YOU KNOW? I'VE SEEN IT TOO" SEJUANI BUFFS EVERYONE ARE GOING TO DIE (FREEZE)!! CAPS!
ReplyDelete"ARE YOU READY? DO YOU KNOW? I'VE SEEN IT TOO" SEJUANI BUFFS EVERYONE ARE GOING TO DIE (FREEZE)!! CAPS!
ReplyDeleteSejuani got a buff. It must truly be the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Riot for this XD
DeleteAnyone noticed that the Hecarim "Buff" is only to make up for the fact that he lost AD from bonus movement speed with the new boots?
ReplyDeleteyes
Delete*What if I told you*
DeleteEveryone got a flat increase to their move speed to make up for the reduced MvS on boots though..
DeleteYeah, but Hecarim gain ad from BONUS ms.
DeleteSo it was a lose for him.
Awesome I got 4 replies and a reply from Moobeat himself in my first comment ever xD
DeleteI hope there will be some new viable pick to replace FoN for Hecarim, because that item was awesome
I hope that the showed skin for Nidalee's pharaoh cat form really isn't that one lol, I liked the white :P
ReplyDeleteher belly is still black for that skin :p
DeleteSeujani buffs. Good. But i think it isnt enough. She.Needs. SOME BURST DAMAGE and/or more tankyness.
ReplyDeleteShe's great as she is tbh. Didn't even need a buff imo
DeleteWAT. You say, that Seju don't have burst dmg? Q/R->W->R/Q->E. AoE stun, lots of slows, and insane dmg with AP/HPofftank build. And still decent dmg with HP tank build. Just add Sunfire Cap to list of your items.. OFC, she is best in mid game, when she can easily score triple kill on countergank, even without help of tower. She's even better than Malphite in it. Just dont miss your R and wait with your E to the last second of Frost.
Deletenow tell me why does nobody play her if she is actually good
Delete/facepalm
Dear.moobet could you upload another pharao cat pic? That one only shows its stomach :) ty a lot
ReplyDeleteOmg where do you live that its 1 am?here its 10 in the morning lol
Deletedamn my americaness.
DeleteFixed btw
DeletexD thx dude, i know u r ameican (im european) but USA is very huge xD
DeleteMoo,the particles for Frozen Heart has already been in the last build.It just barely showed up because it was bugged.
ReplyDelete*have already been
Deletedamn typos...
I need to pay closer attention to these.
DeleteYeeeeeha! Finally Sejuani gets a bit of love!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for the Bewitching nidalee particle update
ReplyDeletealso, new particle on sunfire ^^
ReplyDeleteI mentioned that sunfire change a patch or so ago :(
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QBeK-8NmsE&feature=plcp
Oh, I tought those flames would really be static, terrible ^^
ReplyDeleteSomehow I prefer the old 'Wraith Collar' and 'Glacial Fist' names and the old particle effect for 'Shard of True Ice' :(
ReplyDeleteI mean wtf is "iceborn"? Lol
DeleteDid they also change that putrid neon green background on champion info and lore in the game? Can't see a freaking thing..
ReplyDeleteYes, that was a bug
Deletethe frozen heart particle already was in the last patch ;)
ReplyDeletecan't win 'em all.
DeleteIs the Bewitching Nidalee skin available, then???
ReplyDeleteNope
DeleteStill no 'loading backgrounds'. Can sb ask for them via NA forums? I'm EU, so i cannot post there.
ReplyDeleteNoticed new item in S3, "Brutilizer", sounds pretty cool. Just kidding, dat typo :P
ReplyDeleteSo i Guess we are along way away from this patch since their still fixing stuff with the particles and items too bad so excited for this patch
ReplyDeleteHey Moo, how long do you think they will upload the patch with the new splashes? Do you think it will be next patch? (I know you don't know for sure, but since you have been doing this for a while, I thought you might have an idea).
ReplyDeleteA rioter mentioned Nidalee's splash being down the way a bit - So for hers at least, it'll probably still be a few days.
