[Updated] 5/2 PBE Update: TPA Skins and Balance Changes

Continue reading for better look at all of the TPA skins, a handful of new balance changes, and more!


[3.7] New Content and Features on the PBE
Over on the new PBE community,  RiotBrightEyz  has posted details on what new content is to be expected in this PBE push.

"Hey Summoners! 

Here is a listing of the current new content that’s been released on the PBE! Please take it for a spin and post your feedback on it here in Gameplay, or post any bugs you find over in the Bugs community!

New TPA Skins

To commemorate Taipei Assassin's amazing victory in last years Season Two World Championship, Riot is releasing a set of five new skins to celebrate. Bonus style points if you play a game with all 5 skins!"

TPA Skins
All of these skins are confirmed at 750 RP, just as anticipated.















PBE Skin Pricing Change
A while back all skins and champions were priced down the lowest possible tier to allow more players to pick them up, while on the PBE of course,  for testing purposes. However with the new pricing system, skins are now going to hit the PBE at the price point they will be pushed to live at.

Here is Udyr with the details 

"Hey PBE Summoners! 

We are going to be making a small change to the way that PBE content is priced in the Store, in order to have better transparency about upcoming skins.
Going forward, all new skins that make their way to the PBE will have pricing that reflects their actual skin tier.

Don’t worry about having enough RP to purchase and test all of the new content, as we’ll be keeping an eye on everyone’s balances to make sure the stipends are keeping up with the testing demand. 

Have fun out there and thanks for your continued support!
