Kayn PBE Testing

Our upcoming champion KAYN remains on the PBE for testing throughout the 7.14 PBE cycle. Additional information available in his champion reveal and PBE boards bug report thread.

Miscellaneous 

• The Dark Star: Singularity game mode is back on the PBE for RGMQ testing.

• Now that they are enabled for PBE testing, here's video for  Pool Party Fiora & Pool Party Graves chroma. A PBE feedback thread for the new Pool Party Chroma sets is also now up!  A video for Pool Party Lulu will be uploaded once PIX is fixed up in a future update.

Balance Changes

* NOTE*: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, & experimental changes. Be aware that what you see below may be relative to other changes earlier this cycle! These are not official notes.

*IMPORTANT FOR 6/28 BALANCE CHANGES: Today's PBE patch has had some issues with mismatching data. The initial deploy only included an LCU patch and not a GAME CLIENT patch. As both of these clients house data on champions and such, they are helpful to have together to cross reference. While a game patch did eventually go out, unfortunately the LCU and GAME remain mismatched and do not include all of the same data. Some changes seen on the LCU are not yet present in-game (or may never be). Look for this to be corrected in a future deploy.
