Here's Riot Time Wizard with a bugs & feedback thread for God Staff Jax:
"Who wants a piece of the champ?"
God Staff Jax descends unto the mortal plane of Runeterra, full of divine might and immense pride.
God Staff Jax includes:
- All-new model: Godly attire and a glowing torch staff.
- All-new recall animation: Impressive staff handling, Jax exudes divinity with his many arms as he floats above the earth.
- All-new death animation: A dramatic knockback; Jax clamors to use all of his strength to rise again.
- All-new VFX: Radiant gold with brilliant amber and white accents.
- All-new SFX: Empyrean tones, pure bells and heavy impacts.
We always love hearing your feedback and feelings! Everything helps us make these skins even more awesome. We may not be able to respond to everyone individually, but we're always listening. Thanks everyone! <3"

Context & Notes
1) Here's Repertoir with context on the Kayn changes in today's PBE Update:"Here's the current. Early Rhaast healing is up. Per usual, it's not finalized."
2) Here's AzuBK with context on the Graves changes in today's PBE Update:
"A line is missing from the Graves changelist here: On live the slow is 1.5 seconds - on PBE it's reduced to 0.5 seconds."
3) Here's Maple Nectar with an update on patch scheduling during the holidays:
"Hey guys,
I made a comment over on gameplay regarding a patch with a focus on fighters and wanted to provide a bit more details since visibility on this additional patch is somewhat low. Here's an outline of the patches that we're going to do:
7.24 - Ships December 5/6 depending on Region
the content for this patch has already locked and was on pbe over the past cycle. No changes or surprises here other than that the 7.24 is usually the last patch of the year. Leading to my next point..
7.24B - Shipping December 14th
The holiday patch if you will - With how disruptive introducing a whole new system like Runes can be, we weren't super comfortable with the gap between 7.24 and 8.1 (December 5th - January 10th), so have added a new patch that'll ship on a bit of a weird timeline compared to usual patches. We're still going to do patch notes (albeit with less context than usual), and it'll look like a normal patch to you folks. You can expect these changes to be less complex in nature - no mechanics changes and easy to understand. Thinking tuning numbers to base stats, abilities, and items. Right now we're actually looking at a fairly sized chunk of champions / items, but we'll see what we end up shipping. Primary focus is on top lane/fighters, but expect changes to impact every role to varying extents.
8.01 - Shipping ~January 9th/10th
Due to the way holidays overlap with the usual development time for a patch, 8.1 is likely going to be smaller than a usual patch, but we're going to try our best to get some quick reactionary changes in based on what we see over the holiday break. After that we'll be able to resume patching as usual.
Hope this information is useful!"
