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.

[NOTE: As mentioned in the earlier PBE posts, Riot changed how champion information is stored this cycle. They've been using the new file format for a bit with newer reworks and a few odd balls but now everything is on the new file type. While it doesn't mean much for average player in-game, this is making it a pain in the butt to scrape balance changes on PBE!  We're working with new tools today and going forward but just wanted to not that things may be a little wonky as we get everything back up to speed.]


Champions
Ezreal
  • Trueshot Barrage (R) cooldown increased to 120 seconds from 80 seconds.

Malphite
  • Base HP regen per second lowered to 1.4 from 1.6748
  • Ground Slam (E) damage reduced to 60/95/130/165/200 from 60/100/140/180/220

Rumble
  • Electro-Harpoon (E) - now works on a charge system.
    • Recharge time is 6 seconds per shot, can store two shots. (from 10 seconds)

  • [NOTE: Big Soraka Q and W changes this cycle. The changes below are relative to those and NOT TO LIVE. Check out our current PBE post for a FULL LIST of changes!]

  • Starcall (Q) health and mana restore now happens after the 3 second duration rather than over the 3 second duration.
    • [NOTE: When using W on an ally to transfer to Alignment, health and mana is restored to Soraka on W cast. Compared to the other iterations of this change, today's change means means Soraka always gets the full value from hp/mp restore instead of having to managing duration. ]
