HUD Update
The HUD Update is coming to live in the 5.14 patch! See this post for more information on what's new after several cycles of PBE testing, check a preview on the mini site, or continue scrolling for a better look!
From the HUD Update launch announcement:
"After an extended stay on the PBE, we’re pushing the HUD update out to the live servers alongside patch 5.14! Check out the HUD update microsite for the full story, but if you’re already familiar with the initial changes and just want to know what’s changed since the new HUD hit the PBE, then read on!
Here’s what’s changed - in a large part thanks to your feedback - since the HUD update said hi to PBE:
We’re planning on rolling the HUD update over to live with patch 5.14. We’ll target non-ranked queues first to make sure nothing goes boom, then, if we’re ship-shape, add the update to ranked a few days later.
- Teammate ult timers - we’ve added in timers that indicate when your allies can use their ults! Before the update, this was just represented by a binary green light, but you’ll see the ult timers fill up with the update, meaning you can more accurately figure out when it’s time to wombo.
- Teammate summoner spell timers - hit the tab key at any point and you’ll see if your allies can use their spells, and, if not, how long until they can.
- Teammate mana bars have returned - we left out allied mana bars with the update, thinking they weren’t super important. We were wrong, you guys let us know, and they’re back in now.
- Persistence - if you open champion stats or latency display during a game, it’ll persist between matches.
- Level up ceremony - we added a bunch of animations and sounds to make sure you know when you ding.
- Spellbar clarity - made some pretty hefty changes to the shape, color, and animation of cooldown, loss of control and out of mana to improve readability.
- Minimap changes - game time feels like it belongs near the minimap because timing is usually related to map objectives, but ultimately playtests and feedback have shown it's a more natural fit in the top corner.
- Visual style - we’re all for minimal, but we may have overshot it. We’ve since tried to squeeze in more magic through texture work and animation.
- Accessibility - added camera lock and options buttons back in.
We’re super excited to get the new HUD out to you guys! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below."
and here's a round of screen shots:
Notice the Rank up bar, Cooldown display on passive + Q, as well as the "not enough mana" on W.
When targeting a player, stats, KDA, and CS are shown .
The scoreboard is able to be rearranged and shows ally summoner spell timers.
You can mute players by hovering over their icon and clicking the speaker.
Pressing Control C toggles on and off the stat window to the left of portrait
Pressing "C" extends the stat bar to show more stats.
Stat displays from TOP down in each section:
- A: AD, Armor, Attack Speed , Attack Range
- B; AP, MR, CDR, Move Speed
- C; HP regen, Armor Pen, Lifesteal, Crit
- D: Resource Regen, Magic Pen, Spell Vamp, Tenacity
Recall / Channel bar
Using the options menu, you can also flip the map to the left side
DJ Sona's music toggle is now located on the scoreboard.
New Featured Game Mode - Black Market Brawlers
We also have a new featured game mode on the PBE - Black Market Brawlers!
"Yo! ^o^/
It’s that time again. :D We’ve been hard at work on this one and can’t wait for you guys to get crackin’ in the next featured game mode, “Black Market Brawlers”. This is one of our most complex FGMs to date, with multiple mechanics and a treasure trove of new content to absorb. So buckle in and let’s break it down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Black Market Brawlers
TL;DR: Purchase illegal Black Market items and use golden Krakens to recruit new brawler minions as you vie for dominance on Summoner’s Rift!
Players: 5v5
Map: Summoner’s Rift
Pick type: Blind Draft
Krakens
Golden Krakens are a new currency you’ll earn to spend on hiring and upgrading your brawler minion.
Earn and spend Krakens to hire the brawler minion of your choice, then upgrade them however you want.
Krakens are acquired by:
-- Every 60sec = 1 Kraken
-- 1 kill = 2 Krakens
-- 1 assist = 1 Kraken
-- Baron/Dragon = 1 Kraken per team member (5 total)
-- Counter jungling a large monster = 1 Kraken
Destroying an inhibitor won’t summon a Siege Minion but instead, dramatically buff all the Brawlers in that lane.
The Brawlers:
There are four types of brawler minions. Each game you will spend Krakens you’ve earned to hire one brawler minion type of your choice, then upgrade him as you see fit throughout the game. Once hired, your brawler will replace a regular minion and spawn in every wave of all 3 lanes for the rest of the game. Each brawler minion has 3 upgrade paths (Abilities, Attack & Defense) you can pursue to customise them how you want. Upgrades can be purchased from the new “Brawlers” tab in the item shop at fountain using Krakens.

We’re looking forward to seeing the outcomes of a mode as deep as this one. Do you hire brawler minions that enhance your team’s strengths ("Let’s get some Ironbacks so we can siege down towers!") or exploit the enemy team’s weaknesses ("they have terrible wave clear.. Razorfin rush!"). The Black Market items will also completely change champ viability for multiple roles. I’m sure you guys will find crazy new combos/synergy that we haven’t even thought of! o.O
Please report any bugs you find in here. As always, thanks for helping us test PBE guys. ^_^
-L4T3NCY"The game mode is now available to test on the PBE, look below for screenshots of the new minions and new items!
This new mode is draft with each team having three bans and is played on Summoner's Rift. It also uses the new Bilgewater announcer pack!
Essentially, you perform mini-quests (listed in tooltip below) to acquire "Krakens" and then use that currency to purchase and upgrade a special brawler minion that spawns with each minion wave.
Razorfin
Ironback
Plundercrab
Ocklepod
Over the course of the game you will have the opportunity to purchase additional upgrades for your brawler minion further improving its abilities and stats.
It is worth noting that upgrades go into effect on the next minion wave after the purchase and do not apply to already spawned and active brawler minions.
Another aspect is the Black Market where you'll find a slew of deadly new items! A note from yesterday's announcement - Morellonomicon is not available in this game mode so don't go looking for it.
Click on a thumbnail above to enlarge the screenshots and remember, you can easily flick through them using the arrow keys!
There is also a special boot enchantment that can be purchased for any set of tier 2 boots:
Lore Entries
The short in-game lore entries have been changed for Gangplank, Graves, and Twisted Fate, likely tied to the upcoming Bilgewater: Burning Tides event.
Gangplank
"As unpredictable as he is brutal, the self-appointed reaver king known as Gangplank rules Bilgewater through a mix of fear, violence, and cunning. Where he goes, death and ruin follow, and such is his infamy and reputation that the merest sight of his black sails on the horizon causes panic among even the hardiest crew."
Graves
"Malcolm Graves is a wanted man in every realm, city-state, and empire he has visited. Tough, strong-willed, and above all, relentless, through his life of crime he has amassed (then invariably lost) a small fortune."
Twisted Fate
"Twisted Fate is an infamous card sharp and swindler who has gambled and charmed his way across much of the known world, earning the enmity and admiration of the rich and foolish alike. He rarely takes things seriously, greeting each day with a mocking smile and an insouciant swagger. In every possible way, Twisted Fate always has an ace up his sleeve."
GANK & I KS Summoner's Rift Banners
Two new Summoner's Rift banner textures were added in this cycle:
"Gangsters Against Nice Kids" (GANK) & "International Kraken Society" (I KS)
Miscellaneous
- There is a new easter egg on Summoner's Rift - when you load in to a game with a team's worth (5 or more) of Bilgewater champions or Bilgewater skins - two sharks spawn in the lower right corner of the map. This is similar to the Pool Party rubber ducky and Freljord champion poro SR easter eggs.
- [BUG FIX] The 2015 Elements summoner icon has finally been fixed and should display the updated logo properly on the load screen + in-game.
Balance Changes
* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.
