While the longer bio and stories will be in the universe page, Warwick's short form in-client lore was updated:
"Warwick is a monster who hunts the gray alleys of Zaun. Transformed by agonizing experiments, his body is fused with an intricate system of chambers and pumps, machinery filling his veins with alchemical rage. Bursting out of the shadows, he preys upon those criminals who terrorize the city's depths. Warwick is drawn to blood, and driven mad by its scent. None who spill it can escape him."
Skin tweaks
A handful of color and texture tweaks for the upcoming Sewn Chaos Amumu and Blitzcrank skins that debuted earlier this cycle!
Sewn Chaos Amumu has received color tweaks, ears on hat are a bit smaller and minor size changes.
Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank has received color and texture tweaks, particularly on his head and hook.
Miscellaneous
- Minor touch up on Taliyah's textures - [ in-game comparison / texture map comparison]
Balance Changes
* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical or experimental changes. Be aware that what you see below may be lacking context or other changes that didn't make it in or were implemented in an earlier patch this cycle! These are not official notes.
General
Lethality
- Lethality's armor pen ratio at level 1 shifted to 60% from 40%, still scaling up to 100% vs level 18. Formula changed to: [Armor penetration = Lethality * (0.6 + (Enemy Level / 45))]
- Riot Axes noted "To put it another way - on live right now you get 40% of lethality as armor pen up front, the other 60% of lethality over 18 levels (based on target level). The new formula is 60% up front, 40% over 18 levels."
- SmashGizmo noted "basically the formula is such that you start penning 60% of the lethality value vs. a level 0 target and pen 100% vs. level 18."

Notes
- Reav3 posted on the boards regarding feedback on the updated Warwick's skins, including upcoming changes, context, and more. Look for these changes to hit the PBE soon.
- Riot Axes commenting on a tentative changes to Lethality formula.
"We are currently testing: armor pen = Lethality * (0.6 + (Enemy Level / 45))
To put it another way - on live right now you get 40% of lethality as armor pen up front, the other 60% of lethality over 18 levels (based on target level). The new formula is 60% up front, 40% over 18 levels.
This formula could change further before 7.2 is released. We're not sure this is the exact correct number, but we are sure that it's more correct than what's on live and it'll be informative for figuring out next steps, if we need any."
- Practice with Purpose - details on PRACTICE TOOL which we saw plenty of assets for in the 1/10 UPDATE and will be debuting on the PBE for testing soon.
