New Champion Skins

Here's Riot Time Wizard with a bugs & feedback thread for Victorious Maokai:

"Maokai has earned recognition for his countless competitive accomplishments! And with it, a regal new outfit for himself and his saplings. 

Victorious Maokai includes: 

• All new model and texture! (A royal blue toga, and silvery-birch bark! Also grapes!)
• New particles!
• New recall animation, with new sounds! (SAPLING IN A TOGA, SO BOLD. SO REGAL.)
• New SFX! 

Victorious Maokai is now available for testing on the PBE! As always, we love bug reports and constructive feedback, so please feel encouraged to share your thoughts/suggestions with us! 

Please note: Victorious Maokai is awarded only to players who are ranked Gold or higher at the end of the season. If you reach at least Gold at the end of the season and do not own Maokai, you will unlock both the champion and the Victorious Maokai skin!"

Karthus Lightsbane

Here's Riot LoveStrut with a bugs and feedback thread for Karthus Lightsbane:

"As my fingers reach toward the tome, purple wisps of magic dance around its edges, beckoning me closer. With one touch, the book rips open with an otherworldly bellow as arcane sorcery transfers from the pages' runes to my mind. The others won't understand. They can't. This is my purpose. My wisdom. My power. This...is mine. 

Karthus Lightsbane has betrayed his party and taken the tome they've been hunting for! The book has given him unfathomable knowledge. What new secrets now guide him? 

Skin Summary 

• All-new model and textures! (Is that human Karthus?!)
• All-new VFX! (The tome's runic markings have imbued him with new magic!)
• All-new SFX! (Sorcery surges through his staff and hands on his recall!)
• All-new animations! (More magic, more power, mwahaha!)
• Set to be 975 RP (prices are subject to change) 

We always love hearing your feedback and feelings! All bug reports and thoughts help us make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming! 

Thanks, cuties! <3"

[WIP]

Shatter Orb (Q):

40/45/50/55/60 Mana
6 sec Cooldown 

Deals 55/80/105/130/155 (+50% AP) magic damage. When Shatter Orb is empowered by Sigil of Malice, the spell bounces to the nearest ready Sigil of Malice (bounces deal 70% damage to minions). 

Distortion (W):

70/80/90/100/110 Mana
18/16/14/12/10 sec Cooldown  

Dashes to target location, dealing 85/125/165/205/245 (+60% AP) magic damage to enemies in the target area. 

For the next 4 seconds, she can activate Distortion again to return to her starting location.

Ethereal Chains (E):

40 Mana
14/13.25/12.5/11.75/11 sec Cooldown  

Launches a chain that shackles the first unit hit to LeBlanc, dealing 40/65/90/115/140 (+50% AP ) magic damage. 

If the target remains shackled for 1.5 seconds they are rooted for 1.5 seconds and take an additional  40/65/90/115/140 (+50% AP ) magic damage.

Mimic (R):

Toggle
54/42/30 sec Cooldown  

LeBlanc copies one of her spells and creates a Mimic decoy to cast it with her. The Mimic lasts 2.5 second.  

• Shatter Orb deals 150/275/400 (+60% AP) magic damage.
• Distortion deals 125/225/325 (+50% AP) magic damage.
• Ethereal Chains deals 100/160/220 (+40% AP) magic damage each time.
• Using this spell on itself invokes Shadow of the Rose. 

Shadow of the Rose
The Mimic appears at target location and approaches the closest visible enemy Champion, then casts a fake version of LeBlanc's most recent basic ability.  

Has a separate 160/140/120 second cooldown. This Mimic lasts much longer but cannot be controlled.

• Shadow of the Rose's range is global. 

Here are LeBlanc's individual skin spotlights:

• Elderwood LeBlanc
• Wicked LeBlanc
• Ravenborn LeBlanc
• Mistletoe LeBlanc
• Prestigious LeBlanc

Here's 20thCenturyFaux with a feedback thread for LeBlanc (up to date as of 10/18):

"Hello all, this is the LeBlanc feedback thread announcement sentence! This thread doesn't have exact numbers or ability text, look for that appearing on the website soon. 

Rework goals:

• Make LeBlanc healthier by giving her opponents have time to respond when she goes in. By adding a little time between when LeBlanc goes in and when the full burst hits, the choice of whether to snap back to W's origin means LB has to give up damage.
• Give LeBlanc unique strategic tools and capabilities so she brings something to her games that other assassins don't.
• In doing the first two things, emphasize her thematic identity as the Deceiver -- emphasize her tricky side. 

The Changes

• LeBlanc's Sigil of Malice is now her passive. The mark is applied by all her spells, cooks for 1.5 seconds, and can be popped by any spell for massive damage. If LeBlanc's Q pops a charged Sigil of Malice, it chains to nearby ready Sigils (taking some of the waveclear duty off her W/RW).
• Mirror Image is now a part of LeBlanc's ultimate -- when she copies a spell, she splits and both her and the clone cast the spell.
• Mimic can now copy any spell, not just the most recently cast; she presses R secretly, and the next button press is the Mimic version of that spell.
• Mimic's R -> R is a new ability: LeBlanc creates a clone anywhere on the map. That clone runs toward the nearest enemy champion and casts a fake version of the most recent spell LeBlanc cast before creating the RR Mimic. This has a separate cooldown from the ult itself. 

Smaller changes 

• W and RW now have a brief (0.3s~) delay after dash completes before LeBlanc can snap back. For most players, farming the wave is the only time they'll feel this; casting any spells after the dash 'covers up' the delay time entirely. This is mainly something for extremely high level LeBlanc play.
• E now displays the tether range to LeBlanc and her victim. It hasn't changed in size, but it's really really big xD
• RR has a gem on the corner of the R button to track its cooldown timer.
• This is the real LeBlanc feedback thread announcement sentence the first one was a clone the whole time 

Questions, comments, bugs and discussion all welcome. Good hunting!"

Rengar

• Armor growth lowered to 3 from 3.5
• Ferocity decreased to 4 from 5
• Base health regen increased to 1.4 from 0.85
• Health regen growth increased to 0.1 from 0.08
• Attack growth lowered to 1 from 2 

Ability Changes:

Unseen Predator (Passive):

While in brush, Rengar leaps (725 range) at his target with his basic attack. Leaping while at 0 Ferocity generates 1 Ferocity.

At 4 Ferocity, his next ability is empowered. Casting an empowered ability increases Rengar's Movement Speed by 30/40/50 % for 1.5 seconds.  

Killing enemy champions awards trophies on Rengar's Bonetooth Necklace. 

All Ferocity is lost upon exiting combat (represented by Unseen Predator's cooldown).

• "Buff now lingers ~.25 seconds upon leaving brush"
• "Leap speed reduced (approximate leap time increased ~0.15 seconds on long range leaps)"

• Bonetooth Necklace grants flat AD and % increase to Rengar's bonus AD based on unique champs killed.
• Tracked with a UI element similar to Kindred's target tracker.
• Kha'Zix vs Rengar quest gives a secret 6th stack for +21 AD and  42% Bonus AD
• Time for kill to get credit increased to 1.5 from 1.

Savagery (Q):

Generates 1 Ferocity
4 sec Cooldown

Slash all enemies in an arc before piercing all enemies in a line for 40/60/80/100/120 (30/40/50/60/70% Bonus AD) physical damage per strike. 

Ferocity effect:
Each hit deals 60/68/76/84/92/100/108/116/124/132/140/148/156/164/172/180/188/196 (+110% Bonus AD) damage. 

If cast outside max range, Rengar lunges forward to extend the range of the piercing attack.

If cast while in a leap, Savagery is postponed to the end of the leap. 

• This is two hits total - highest possible base damage is 90-250 +  [80%-160% bonus AD] 

Battle Roar (W):

Generates 1 Ferocity
20/18/16/14/12 sec Cooldown

Deals 50/80/110/140/170 (+80% AP) magic damage to nearby enemies and heals Rengar for 50% of the damage he took in the last 1.5 seconds. 

Ferocity effect:
Deals  50/60/70/80/90/100/110/120/130/140/150/160/170/180/190/200/210/220 (+80% AP) magic damage, removes existing crowd control effects, and prevents incoming ones for 1.5 seconds, in addition to its normal effect. 

Damage healed from monster attacks is increased by 100%.

Bola Strike (E):

Generates 1 Ferocity
10 sec Cooldown 

Throw a bola, dealing  50/100/150/200/250 (+70% Bonus AD) physical damage and slowing the first enemy hit by 30/45/60/75/90% for 1.75 seconds. 

Ferocity effect:
Deals 50/65/80/95/110/125/140/155/170/185/200/215/230/245/260/275/290/305 (+70% Bonus AD) physical damage and roots the target for 1.75 seconds.

Thrill of the Hunt (R):

No Cost
130/100/70 sec Cooldown 

Rengar gains 40% Movement Speed and vision of the nearest enemy champion (within 2000/3000/4000 range) for 14/22/30 seconds. 

After the first 2 seconds, Rengar becomes Camouflaged and can leap to an enemy without being in brush. Leaping to the nearest champion results in a critical strike. 

Attacking or casting most spells ends Thrill of the Hunt. 

Stealth - Camouflaged: This character is hidden from view. It is revealed by nearby enemy champions and turrets.

Here's a brief preview video of Rengar's updated kit in action:

Here are Rengar's individual skin spotlights:

• Headhunter Rengar
• SSW Rengar
• Night Hunter Rengar

Here's Riot Repertoir with a feedback thread for Rengar (up to date as of 10/18):

"Hey all, 

Rengar's update has meaningful changes to P, Q, W, and R, while E is mostly unchanged. This set of changes hopes to add some tools to Rengar's hunting pattern, play up the excitement of his Ferocity resource usage, and enhance the feeling of being the ultimate predator, while at the same time providing more tactical counterplay for opponents. Let's get into it, but before doing so, please remember that all numbers are still tentative. 

• P - Unseen Predator
• Ferocity
• Maximum Ferocity reduced 5 >>> 4
• Using an empowered ability gives Rengar 30/40/50% (at levels 1/7/13) Movement Speed for 1.5 seconds
• Rengar no longer has to damage an enemy with a spell to gain Ferocity from it
• All Ferocity is lost instantly upon leaving combat (4 seconds of dealing/taking no damage)
• Leap
• Range increased 600 >>> 725
• Leaping from out of combat (see Ferocity out of combat rules above) generates 1 Ferocity
• Rengar now jumps slightly offset from the target in the direction he came from (rather than dead-center in the middle of the target's model)
• Bonetooth Necklace
• Now only grants stacks for unique champion kills (Rengar has to damage them within 1 second of their death)
• Stacks capped at 5
• Old bonuses removed
• Now grants 1/3/6/10/15 Attack Damage
• Now grants 2/6/12/20/30% Bonus Attack Damage
• No longer gets the short end of the stick in the Kha'Zix/Rengar quest
• Bonetooth Necklace progress is represented by a UI element that Kindred players will be familiar with
• Q - Savagery - redesigned
• Rengar slashes all enemies in an arc before piercing all enemies in a line
• This spell is now a skillshot; it still resets Rengar's auto attack timer
• Casting Savagery outside the max range causes Rengar to lunge forward with the piercing attack, moving a small distance in that direction
• Deals 90/130/170/210/250 plus (edit) 0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6 Bonus AD physical damage
• Ferocity effect: deals significantly more damage
• Deals 80+20/lvl plus 2.4 Bonus AD physical damage
• W - Battle Roar - redesigned
• Rengar deals magic damage to nearby enemies and heals for 50% of the damage he took in the last 1.5 seconds
• Ferocity effect: additionally removes crowd control effects and prevents incoming ones for 1.5 seconds
• The amount Rengar will heal is represented by Grey Health on his health bar
• Damage healed from monster attacks is doubled
• E - Bola Strike - basically the same, with some numbers adjustments
• R - Thrill of the Hunt
• Now Camouflages Rengar, meaning he can be seen by nearby champions or truesight only
• Duration increased to 14/22/30 seconds
• Fade time removed
• Movement Speed increased to 40%
• Now only reveals the enemy champion nearest Rengar
• This puts eyes over the target that both teams can see
• Rengar can only leap to the enemy champion nearest him (unless in brush)
• Leaping to the enemy champion nearest him results in a guaranteed critical strike on the target
• Edit: no longer grants Movement Speed or Ferocity generation after ending 

Those are the noteworthy changes, I believe. To summarize: 

• Passive has a bunch of changes
• Q is a double attack skillshot
• W heals recent damage and has CC break/immunity on the empowered version
• E is mostly unchanged
• R gives more signalling to opponents, but lasts longer, makes Rengar faster, and lets him auto-crit the Hunted target if he leaps to it. 

I'll pop in and out of here in the next few weeks to see how things are going. 

Cheers,
Repertoir"

Also note that the Rengar vs Kha'Zix quest will award Rengar a hidden 6th stack.

Talon

New ability icons:

• Movespeed lowered to 335 from 350
• Base Health increased to 583 from 582.8
• Health growth increased to 90 from 85
• Base Attack Damage increased to 60 from 55.208

Talon's spells Wound champions and epic monsters for 6 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. 

When Talon basic attacks a target with 3 stacks of Wound, he bleeds them for 60/70/80/90/100/110/120/130/140/150/160/160/160/160/160/160/160 (+200% Bonus AD)  physical damage over 2 seconds. 

Here are Talon's individual skin spotlights:

• SSW Talon
• Renegade Talon
• Crimson Elite Talon
• Dragonblade Talon

Here's Riot Stashu with a feedback thread for Talon (up to date as of 10/18):

"Note: Ability descriptions not listed here. I'll include the link here when our Assassins webpage goes up later today! 

Welcome to Talon's feedback thread! 

Below you'll find the goals of the update, an overview of his updated play pattern and how it might accomplish these goals, and then a list of questions I'd really like to get everyone's thoughts on: 

Goals 

• Add skill expression in his kill pattern (consequently, improve game health)
• Give him unique, Assassin appropriate abilities to differentiate him
• Lean into his identity as the roaming AD assassin 

Play Pattern 

• In lane, Talon will look to land both ends of his updated Rake (W) to stack up his new Passive. With it's higher payout but increased delay, Rake is the main thing for opponents to watch out for.
• If successful with his W, he can posture for an all in with his updated Noxian Diplomacy (Q) to proc his passive and go for the kill.
• Whether or not lane trades are working out, Talon will be looking for opportunities to dip out of lane and take advantage of his new Assassin's Path (E).
• If he can clear the wave and make room to roam, Talon can make record time in his ability to jump, flip, and roll over any obstacles in his way to ambush the enemy jungler or gank a side lane.
• In team fights, Talon will look to take advantage of the unique and unexpected flanking routes that only he could.
• If successful in flanking with Assassin's Path, Talon should be able to make quick work on an enemy squishy with a Q/W/R/P combo. 

Questions 

• Anything at all about the new E. Is it fun? Difficult to use? Does it suit Talon? Bugs?
• With his new but different set of mobility tools, do you feel able to get on your desired target?
• With higher potential damage but lower up front damage, do you still feel empowered to kill your target enemies?
• When in the game do you feel powerful / weak (early / mid / late) and in which circumstances (enemy has all/no squishies, I was able to roam / I was pushed in, etc.)? 

Lastly, known bugs: 

• Rake's spell effects are not displaying correctly to enemies. We'll have a fix for this out in the next PBE build.
• Talon crashes the server when using E in a number of places on the Crystal Scar. This fix will take a while, so we'll be disabling him on those maps ASAP while we work on that one. 

And that's all for now! Please put any and all reactions/questions/comments here -- Talon's new mechanics are pretty unique, so every bit of feedback helps!"

[Smaller Scope Champion Updates]

Next up we have the smaller scope champion updates - most of which have some combination of number changes, one or two new or switched around abilities, new ability icons, etc.

• [Strongest = "Any target that will provide him a greater Attack Damage bonus than what currently possess. He can only be gaining damage from single enemy champion at a time. If Death Mark nets him a kill or assist on a target that will provide him with a higher bonus, he gains Attack Damage from them instead."]
• [Zed can only gain AD from one enemy champion at a time. If target buys more AD, Zed needs to kill them again with R to get a stronger buff.] 
• [NOTE: 0.5 second delay is still there as of 10/18 update tool tip doesn't mention it though.]

In addition to the champion updates, there are also several new items, Lethality, stealth changes, and more to go along with the assassin class update!

Stealth Shimmer

With the 6.22 stealth changes, a new "Shimmer" effect has been added. When you manage to damage a stealthed champion (invis or camouflage) with an ability, a brief image of them will appear - please note that this does not REVEAL it simply shows an outline of the champion.
You can not see this effect through the fog of war or in brush you don't have vision in.

[The mentioned playing around with a Shimmer effect in an earlier post - "one example we’re exploring is a shimmer that opponents can see when they hit Stealthed enemies (i.e. with a skillshot). This should give enemies a good sense of where the Stealthed target is so they can follow up and chase them down."]

Pre-Season: Jungle Changes & Plants

A large set of pre-season jungle changes are now on the PBE for testing - including changes for Smite, removal of the smite bonus buffs, adding in new plants to interact with, re-tuning and various changes to Jungle camps, and more!

Smite

• Now restores 100 health + 10% of Maximum when used on monsters.
• Recharge rate increased to a charge every 90 seconds from every 75 seconds
• Ammo charge starts at 1:40 instead of 1:25 into a game.
• Additional buffs for using Smite on camps removed.

Itemization

• Hunter's Machete [img]
• On hit damage increased to 20 from 15
• Lifesteal increased to 10% from 8%

Plants

A new type of object has been added to the jungle - plants! These spawn in the jungle and trigger a variety of different effects when destroyed - knock back, vision, and health & mana restore.

For more on how and where these new plants spawn, check out this [lengthy and detailed post on plants and spawn system] by Riot GMang.

[UPDATE 10/25] Here's Riot Gmang with more information on the recent changes:

"Hey everybody, 

Thanks for trying out plants and letting us know how they played. We've read a lot and are using it to inform the design. Some of the concerns we want to address right away: 

• "Plant spawns (especially Blast Cones) feel too random and can't be planned around."
• "Plants are adding too much clutter." 

So, based on recent feedback (especially PBE and some internal feedback), we've done a significant iteration on the plant spawn system: 

• The locations where Blast Cones can spawn are no longer randomized, and fewer will spawn
• The "game start" Blast Cones now represent the only possible spawn locations
• Removed most Blast Cone spawn locations; total per quadrant: 5-6 -> 2
• Max Blast Cones alive at any given time per quadrant: 3 -> 2
• Respawn time now begins on corpse cleanup instead of "Ready" state
• Respawn times increased across the board
• Seedling growth time increased: 30 seconds -> 60 seconds
• (This is the stage of a plant life cycle where it's scoutable but not usable yet.)
• Made other small adjustments to plant positions
• Nudged some Honeyfruit spawns so they aren't "inside walls" or obscured by terrain as much
• Moved the Scryer's Bloom spawn location between Blue Buff and mid lane a little away from mid (towards river) 

These were submitted to the PBE code on 10/24 (should appear on the 10/25 build), so the details of the old system explanation will be a bit outdated. 

Try the changes out on PBE and let us know what you think!"

Additional context from Meddler available [here].

Blast Cone

• "Knocks away nearby units when destroyed."
• Spawn in the jungle quadrants 

• Location launched to is shown by red indicator.

• "When destroyed, drops fruit that restore Health and Mana but slow the user."
• Spawns in River
• Restores mixture of flat (scaling with champ level) and % missing health & mana.

• "When destroyed, release pollen across the map that reveals units and wards."
• Spawn at a few specific locations near river ramps.
• Range is about 4000
• Reveal lasts about 15 seconds and less on moving targets.

and here's a short video showing off plant looks and function in-game:

Camps

Please be aware that in addition to the larger or directional changes below, a lot of camps have also received a lot of tuning / stat changes to go along with removal of smite bonuses and such!

Building off the changelist and context post from Xypherous, here's a brief overview of camp changes:

General

• Additional buffs for using Smite on camps removed - more info.
• Camp respawn timers increased to 150 seconds from 100 seconds.
• Camp start times "roughly ~3 seconds earlier than before to account for some specific spawn timing changes"

Jungle Difficult Scaling

• "Jungle Camp Difficulty has been retuned to fit 'brackets' of levels rather than linearly scaling - roughly corresponding to clears. The difficulty of jungle respawns will ramp up to the next tier when the average level of all champions in the game falls under that bracket and the Monster respawns." - src.
• Level 1-3: First Clear
• Monsters have 100% of their baseline statistics
• Levels 4-6: "Second Clear"
• Monsters gain 10% health, 50% more resistances and 40% extra damage
• Levels 7-9: "End of Lane"
• Monsters gain 25% health, 75% more resistances and 55% extra damage
• Levels 9+: Returns to linear scaling as by this level - the Jungle is mostly a shared / contested resource across the map.
• Monsters gain 40 to 75% extra health and 185 to 370% extra damage.

Replays live on PBE LCU!

The new replay system is up on the PBE League Client Update for testing!
Here's a gallery with additional images showing off the replays: IMGUR.

Here's Rapwnzel with more information on the Replay system:

"Greetings, PBE Summoners! 

We recently announced that Replays are coming to the League Client Update and we’re excited to take the next step toward getting this feature into players’ hands. Today you’ll be able to access Replays in PBE with the LCU! If you’re not already using the League Alpha Client, please remember that as a PBE Tester you already have access to it and you’ll need to use it if you want to download your replays and create highlights of your badass moments! 

Download the PBE Alpha Client using the links below and log in using your regular PBE account info. 

• Alpha PBE Windows Installer
• Alpha PBE Mac Installer 

IMPORTANT*: Because patch cycles on PBE can occur as often as every day (unlike the typical cycles on live), you should expect your replays to expire on a daily basis. An expired replay means that it can’t be downloaded or watched (if it was previously downloaded). Match History will be a great place to revisit your replays on live, but on PBE we recommend downloading them as soon as possible and creating any highlights you wish to keep and cherish forever (your recorded highlights will not expire, just the full replay). Otherwise, you might find your match from yesterday is expired in Match History. 

Here’s what else you can expect from Replays on PBE: 

• Replays are not supported in Co-op v. AI queues. The available game modes on PBE change periodically; currently Ranked queue is where you can experience Replays!
• Replays will be available to download and watch using the shiny new button at the Post Game summary.
• Replays will also be available to download and watch from your Match History page (*please see the important note above).
• While you’re watching a replay, you can quickly locate and navigate to exciting moments using the new annotated timeline!
• Capture your sick plays as a highlight using the record feature (start or stop recording using the red button or ctrl+v). Once the recording is complete the location of the saved highlight will be displayed above the timeline (e.g. C:\MyDocuments\LeagueofLegends\Highlights).
• Watch your highlight by locating the .webm file created in your documents folder and opening it with VLC media player or dragging it into your .webm compliant browser window. Highlights are currently locked to a default resolution and quality setting. 

Please let us know what you think! Share your feels or report bugs here, and thank you for participating in this test. :)"
