Posted on at 6:01 PM by Moobeat
Edit: Added information about the changes to the speed shrine on the Twisted Treeline.

The PBE has received another balance oriented updated!
Continue reading for the latest set of PBE changes, including more changes for the small Jungle creeps, nerfs for Lee Sin, Amumu, and Blitz, and a change to the Twist Treeline's speed shrine.

( Reminder: PBE Content is tentative and subject to change. These numbers and changes are not set in stone. PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS TEEMO. )

Twisted Treeline's Speed Shrine Changes
The shrine in the middle of the Twisted Treeline now generates out a health relic that restores HP, Mana/Energy, and grants a speed boost. The shrine no longer grants movement speed unless you pick up the relic.

Spawns at initially 1:55 and respawns roughly every minute and a half ( estimate ). It is also visible from the mini map.
RiotNome has already commented on this change, saying
"Trying it out as a replacement for the Speed Shrine. May or may not eventually have a jungle mob spawn at Vilemaw's position as well (until Vilemaw spawns). Speed Shrine had to go though"

Jungle Monster HP Changed Again

New Indicator for Varus's Q
There is a now* a second circle displayed, indicating the maximum range, when you charge Varus's Q
Props to redditor T1m3Paradox for pointing this out.
* = I believe this was actually from an earlier PBE update but I didn't notice until now.

Balance stuff
Amumu
  • Curse of the Sad Mummy now only roots those hit by it instead of rooting them and preventing them from auto attacking.
    *Note: I have personally tested and can confirm you are now able to auto attack while afflicted by Curse of the Sad Mummy.

Blitzcrank
  • Mana Barrier's cooldown increased to 90 seconds from 60 seconds.

Lee Sin
  • Safeguard no longer refunds half the energy cost if the shield is broken.
  • Iron Will's Life Steal and Spell Vamp increased to 5/10/15/20/25% from 5/9/13/17/21%
  • Iron Will no longer grants bonus armor down from 10/15/20/25/30 armor.

  • Cripple's slow reduced to 20/30/40/50/60% from 30/37.5/45/52.5/60%'

Rengar
  • Thrill of the Hunt stealth duration now lasts 7 seconds down from 8 seconds. ( Note: Rengar's ult currently lasts FIVE seconds on live but was increased to 8 seconds in the last PBE update. I phrased it as reduced because it is relative to the last pbe update.)
