3) Ascension remains up for PBE testing.

4) PBE feedback thread for ping testing.

5) Pulsefire Caitlyn Special interactions are up:


6) RiotShrieve on Zac changes coming soon:
"Hey guys just wanted to give an update to some of the changes that are being tested internally. We had a couple games with them on Friday and they went pretty well. We'll be testing them more next week. 
Stretching Strikes (Q) 
  • Base Damage: reduced 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 >>> 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 / 75
  • Damage Scaling Based upon Zac's Max Health: 4% (NEW)
  • Slow Duration: .25 >>> .5 seconds (hotfixed during 7.9)
  • Collision Damage AoE Size: 200 >>> 300
  • Q2 Bonus Attack Range: increased 100 >>> 125 (300 total)
  • Q2 Passive Blob Generation: previously Q2 would spawn a second blob only if each attack hit a unique champion, now spawns as long as it hits a unique unit
  • Q2 Targeting: redirects Q2 attacks to a non-grabbed target when multiple enemies are stacked on top of one another (i.e. jungle raptors)
  • Spell Queuing: smoother queuing E when slamming targets together, W can be cast during Q2 and while slamming targets together
Elastic Slingshot (E)
  • Base Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 >>> 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (hotfixed during 7.9)
  • Knockup Duration: now scales from .5 >>> 1 second based upon how long Zac charges before release (NEW)
Also there should be a bug fix for minions and monsters when being thrown; before they acted like kicked minions from Sion E (as in not dying until the end of the throw)."
