11/28 PBE Patch: Minor Changes

Posted on at 9:25 PM by Moobeat
Edit: there were more mastery changes than I originally noticed. Added them to bottom of post

The PBE has been updated, although this patch contained very little new content.
Continue reading for the grab bag of small changes, including a tweak to Master Yi's new summoner portrait, some holiday resources for the shop, two new summoner icons, and a minor change to the utility tree.
( REMEMBER: Everything on the PBE is tentative and subject to change! )

Tweaks to new Master Yi portrait
Master Yi's brand new champion portrait got slightly tweaked in this patch, focusing it in a little bit more and turning up the green.

Holiday Images for Store
Looks like Riot is prepping for the upcoming holiday season, they snuck in some new wintery images to decorate the shop with.

New Summoner Icons
Two new Summoner Icons popped up in this update, although it is unclear what they are for. It's totally possible they could be exclusive to the SEA/Chinese servers, similar to the Chibi champion portraits present in the files.

Slight Utility Tree Change
If you remember a PBE patch or so ago, Vampirism and Strength of Spirit flipped places in the utility tree. That change is still present but Expanded Mind is NO LONGER connected to Vampirism, as when the two masteries switched places it was still connected.

 Edit: There were apparently some other mastery changes that I missed. Here's a list:

Offensive Tree
  • Destruction changed to 1 point total, from two, and gives 5% increased damage to turrets.
  • Mental Force changed to 3 points total, from 4, and gives 2/4/6 AP.

Defensive Tree
  • Legendary Armor changed to 3 points total, from four, and gives 2/4/6% bonus armor and MR.
  • Reinforced Armor changed to a 1 point total, from two, and now gives 10% crit damage reduction

Utility Tree
  • Explorer has a new icon.

  21. MoobeatNovember 28, 2012 at 10:04 PM

    Isn't this the same change that went through the initial version of the Nami PBE patch? They reduced all the Pen marks to compensate for how the new formula works.

    Ah, I probably missed that change then. Disregard my post. >.<

    This is a lot of changes in the PBE, That live patch is gonna be HUGE! Can't wait. Nami and Season 3! And Nid getting a graphic re-work, who could ask for more? A great patch indeed.



    Gonna buy Nami with RP and hopefully Koi Nami looks just as good if not a little bit better than I am expecting. Gotta support the creation of supports!!

    Koi Nami is the name of her skin it seems, that's the name found in the files at least.

    they did also fix the item with Nami's icon in the game using the pre-release artwork still. it shows her release stuff now.

    A bunch of weird textures were added to Summoner's Rift (Black Spots all over, trees black)

    What I'm thinking is there's going to be a Christmas SR with the new SR Rework.

  33. SteelflameNovember 28, 2012 at 11:36 PM

    I don't think you noticed, but some of the masteries have been rebalanced. Should look into that. All 3 trees changed, but mostly the defense and utility.

    As far as I've heard, there is no formula change for the calculation of Mpen, so I don't really see the reasoning behind the nerf on Mpen specifically....

    They said Mpen would be calculated like the new a pen, hence the nerfs. And resistances will cost more.

  51. ChazNovember 29, 2012 at 6:27 AM

    The word 'portrait' is mispelled in the sentence "Master Yi's brand new champion portriat" I don't mean to seem like an ass it is just glaring at me.

    You would prefer having no updates whatsoever while we wait for the stuff to come live? Also, it's not like the stuff on the PBE is irrelevant to the live servers . It's all stuff that will eventually (unless changed prior to release) come to live .. I don't get your complaint. If you just want the Live server information, why don't you just read the official League website? It's the same stuff.

    Maybe Nami is 12/6, but Nidalee is 12/11. That would make sense. Things on PBE are really too much for one patch. It's even bigger than Shadow Isles Patch.

    Not sure how I feel about that. We'll see if it's worth buying once they actually reveal anything about it...

    Also, they should have an easter egg with Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start. You know, the KoiNami code.

    On the official forums they said that the patch will go live on 11th of December at best. So maybe even later than that :/
