8-29 PBE Update: Finishing Touches

Posted on at 3:06 PM by Moobeat
An update has been applied to the PBE! I can only assume these small changes are just to add some polish to the imminent Late August patch. The changes include an awesome update to Arcade Sona's death animation and a small fix for Syndra's champion page.

Arcade Sona keeps getting more and more awesome! Riot added a new death animation for the highly anticipated skin. She now throws up nostalgic "GAME OVER" when she is slain.


Since pictures simply don't do this fantastic skin justice, check out the updated preview from SkinSpotlights!



Syndra is STILL not available for play but they did finally fix her champion select page to show her icons. While I know it isn't really pressing, this little error has annoyed the crap out of me.


I didn't really find much else. Like I said before, this patch was probably just for polish and to get some last minute testing in on the Late August patch ( which is coming later tonight ). I did notice that the friends notes are still on the PBE but were not included or mentioned in that batch of patch notes.

    1. No hopefully it is, so people that actually want it and play sona will buy it. She doesnt need PFE syndrome happening to her

    2. PFE was a legendary skin, your argument is invalid.

    3. Not even a skin, its a theme.

    4. If it doesn't change the voice-over it isn't legendary.

  5. Whoa, they changed Syndra's passive AGAIN...or at least the wording. It now says: "Increases the slowing duration by 33%"

    Weird.

    1. You forgot this incredibly minor detail Moobeat!

    2. Yeah, I've been holding off on the Syndra changes since they seem to be messing with her slightly every patch. I figured I'll just hold off until she actually becomes available instead of teasing people.

  6. Anyone know if Syndra was enabled?

  7. I can't confirm this, but there was a thread complaining about queue dodge times on the pbe forums. Sounds like they upped the penalty for queue dodging to something like half an hour.

    1. That sucks. In ranked I get it but in blind pick queue there are just so many damn trolls that it would just suck to get stuck with.

  8. Okay, comparing the Syndra notes we have on this site to the ones in the PBE:

    Q got the mana cost increased by 10 at every level
    W got scaling Mana cost, from 60 at all levels to 60/70/80/90/100
    Her passive got some changes too. Q's bonus now does 15% bonus damage to champions rather than 20%. Also, W now "increases the slow duration by 33%" rather than by 2 seconds.

    That's what I found.

    1. With all these reductions and nerfs ( damage, now missing a knock up from her original kit, mana increases out the wazoo ), I wonder how ridiculous she much have been at Gamescom.

  9. Just to let you know the friend's notes thing has been on live since Rengar patch, its in the Mid August Patch notes.

    1. My point was that it still hasn't been enabled and we haven't got any updates about it.

  10. Ahahahah! You added me on your PBE account, too bad my client is broken beyond repairs.

  12. Meddler posted a bit of info on why Syndra is taking so long to be released (Bug tests as expected):

  16. Seems like the new death animation will make people want to kill her more, just to see GAME OVER. Focus the supports!

  17. Sona skin is live in the store! (at least in NA anyway!)

    ReplyDelete
  18. As awesome as the skin is it's just shy enough for me to pull the trigger on buying. I can't justify another skin purchase so soon. Maybe if they added some music to the DDR ult then I could not resist:)
