4/19 PBE Update: Continued TFT: Reckoning Testing & More Tentative Balance Changes!

Continued TFT: Reckoning Testing

"Today's PBE Patch. Worth nothing these were all done on Friday so a small patch should be expected. Now we have a full weekend of data, so tomorrow's patch is likely to be a much larger one before our branch cut. So if you feel like stuff is missing, that's why!

April 19th Deploy 

Items

-ZZ’Rot Portal

---Health and Attack Damage now scale based on the current Stage rather than the Star Level of the wearer

-Statikk Shiv

---Lightning Damage: 55 >>> 65

-Shadow Statikk Shiv

---Lightning Damage: 55 >>> 65 

Champions

5 Cost

-Kayle

---Ascension Timer: 5/4/1 >>> 5/5/1 seconds 

Hyper Roll

-Draconic eggs now hatch EVEN FASTER

-If an egg would take 3 or fewer rounds to hatch in Standard, it takes 1 round in Hyper Roll; if it would take 4 or more rounds in Standard, it will take 2 rounds in Hyper Roll

-Added 6 gold to starting player gold (so players will have 10 gold the first time they see a shop) 

Bug Fixes:

-Fixed Lulu and Rell attempting to target the Abomination grave

-Fixed Daisy corrupted by Viego only having 100 Health

-Viego can now properly attempt to corrupt CC immune enemies (the damage is applied, only the stun is blocked)

-Fixed an issue where Viego would continue to channel on targets that were in stasis from Guardian Angel

-If you buy Teemo and it kills you, you will now be flagged as Eliminated and your hp will be set to -66. This should fix issues of players getting to fight one more round after they kill themselves or placing higher than intended.

-Fixed a bug where Shadow Bloodthirster’s self damage was hitting start-of-combat shields

-Monstrosity can no longer receive two mutually exclusive items

-Fixed an issue where Riven would not receive her Attack Damage bonus from her spell if the initial AoE didn’t hit her target

-Fixed an issue where a Kayle corrupted by Viego or spawned from the Hellion portal with the Hellion Emblem wouldn’t gain Ascension progress

-Fixed Kayle not gaining an Ascension level if she Ascended while reviving from Guardian Angel

-Fixed Ashe arrow sometimes passing through targets if she was dead

-Fixed Garen’s visuals not matching the radius (showed a smaller area than the ability would actually hit)

-Units corrupted by Viego now attribute their damage etc. to Viego in the Combat Recap charts

-Zz’Rot no longer taunts untargetable things (like units on the bench)

-Fixed Nunu’s attack animation sometimes “freezing”

-Wolf now properly only plays the Rapid Firecannon laser if he has increased range (from Lamb having an RFC equipped)"

"11.9 Patch Preview 

This is the MSI patch so we're hoping to add a bit of diversity to the pro meta. Also we have a few solo Q outliers (and overbuffs from last patch) that we wanted to tone down."
