* 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.
Champions
- Orb of Deception (Q) has a new effect: "Ahri gains movement speed while her orb travelling"
- [Note: This is a pretty significant speed boost that rapidly decays. At level 1 and rank 1 of Q, movement speed spikes from 330 (base) up to 545 then rapidly down to 410 until the orb returns.]
- Foxfire (W) damage increased to 50/80/110/140/170 from 40/65/90/115/140
- Charm (E) AP ratio increased to .5 from .35
- Charm (E) no longer amplifies damage on target by 20% for 6 seconds.
- Charm (E) damage increased to 60/90/120/150/200 from 60/90/120/150/180
- Noxious Blast (Q) mana cost increased to 40/50/60/70/80 from 40/45/50/55/60
- Twin Fang (E) mana cost increased to 50/60/70/80/90 from 35/45/55/65/75
Riven
- Broken Wings (Q) now auto cancels it's animation, allowing Riven to attack much faster after using Q
- [Context: Alright, this change is a bit complicated. Currently on live you can "fast combo" Riven's Q by clicking the ground immediately after using Q. This STOPS the Q animation early and allows you to auto attack much much faster than just hitting Q and waiting for the auto to go off naturally. THIS PBE CHANGE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELS Q'S ANIMATION which significantly speeds up your auto attack speed after using Q. Meddler has commented on the change here.]
- [Video Context: In this video preview, all I'm doing is hitting Q as soon as my auto attack goes off. You'll notice in the first video (PBE), I auto attack extremely fast so the combo goes very fast. In the second video (LIVE), there is a significantly longer gap between when I Q and when my auto attack goes off.]
Items
- Now builds out of Ruby Crystal + 600 gold, total cost remains the same.
- [Bug Fix] Back to live values and functionality after unintentional changes in the 1/15 update.
