Debonair Brand

1350 RP

Debonair Draven

1350 RP
An infamous club host known for his daredevil attitude while performing envenomed party tricks, Draven is loved and hated by the Nox Vegas strip in equal measure. He possesses a talent for drawing both the curiosity of entertained onlookers and the ire of resort owners cleaning up after his messes.

Here's a /r/LeaguePBE bugs and feedback thread on Debonair Draven from RiotLavenderKira:
""Let's admire me for a bit."

Debonair LeBlanc

1350 RP
Seemingly at every event in the city at once, LeBlanc is a ubiquitous presence throughout the strip-- her unparalleled ability to shmooze matched only by her mysterious origins. There was a time when certain naysayers connected her to Crime City, but as they say... never cross Lady LeBlanc.

Here's 6armedrobot with a bugs & feedback thread for Debonair LeBlanc:
"Hello All! 
"The Black Rose shall bloom once more."

Debonair Leona

1350 RP
An enforcer at the exclusive Solari resort, Leona spends her days brutally ejecting unruly patrons from the premises and her evenings schmoozing up the city's ultra-wealthy. Even the rich and powerful know not to trifle with the Solari's chosen, lest they find themselves soaring out of the penthouse suite and down into the sidewalk.

Here's 6armedrobot with a bugs & feedback thread for Debonair Leona:
"Hello All! 
Debonair Leona is heading onto the Rift with:

-6armedrobot"

Debonair Malzahar

1350 RP
An associate of LeBlanc's from her days in Crime City, now established as a mover and shaker in his own right. While the two cross paths on occasion, Malzahar has certain... outside interests to consider, and those business partners have promised him more than any mortal could ever dream of.

Here's 6armedrobot with a bugs & feedback thread for Debonair Malzahar:
"Hello All! 
"Oblivion awaits!." 
Debonair Malzahar is heading onto the Rift with:

NOTE We are aware of the model texture issue tied to his death animation. A fix is on the way!"


Debonair Master Yi

1350 RP
A powerful businessman of few words, often seen staring down on "his" strip from the comfort of his posh presidential suite. Despite his cold demeanor, Yi enjoys the finer things in life, and demands only the finest fits for his world-famous evening attire.

Here's 6armedrobot with a bugs & feedback thread for Debonair Master Yi:

"My blade is yours."

Debonair Zed

1820 RP
The most powerful (and powerfully dressed) man in Nox Vegas, Zed has been dabbling in more than fancy parties and cutthroat dealmaking. A new crowd from Crime City has entered his inner circle, granting this debonair gentleman an unbreakable stranglehold over the strip-- and a dreadful new change in both mind and body.

As a legendary skin, Debonair Zed has a new voiceover:

Here's a /r/LeaguePBE bugs and feedback thread on Debonair Zed from RiotLavenderKira:
""The Vitae has... enlightened me."

Varus VFX Update

Here's Riot Sirhaian with a feedback thread on a Varus VFX update that is now testing on the PBE:
"Hello everyone! 
Similar to the previous VFX updates we’ve made in the past (Syndra, Zilean, Malzahar, etc), we're working on updates to the Visual Effects (VFX) of champions whose spell effects are in need of some love. Our aim is to get their VFXs to current League standards and improve gameplay clarity. 
This time, it's Varus's turn, for 11.24's PBE Patch! 
Just like all the previous ones, and since these are smaller updates geared toward sprucing up some of the oldest members of the roster, they aren't in the same prioritization conversation as to how we decide who gets a VGU (where we take model, gameplay, and thematic into account too!): they do not affect any other timeline, and are simply dev passion projects. 
Here's a video preview of the changes. As usual, the more recent the skins are, the less changes they are getting. His most recent skins only received very minimal tweaks (or not at all). 
The main goal we had for this one VFX Update was to improve clarity, especially for his Q and R missile widths. 
All affected skins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJDSebKQuJA

------------------------

Per-skin details:
- Base: Complete overhaul
- Blight Crystal: Recolored from new base
- Arclight: Mirroring new base and cleaned up
- Arctic Ops: Mirroring new base and cleaned up
- Heartseeker: Cleanup
- Dark Star: Cleanup
- Conqueror: Cleanup
- Infernal: Cleanup
- PROJECT: Minimal tweaks
- Cosmic Hunter: Minimal tweaks 
------------------------ 
We're looking for feedback on his changes, which should be up on the PBE right now. Please try him out there —especially if you're a main— and leave us your feedback!"

Challenges PBE Testing

"Hey all, we've activated some of our Challenges features on PBE for testing in all matchmade queues which means we'll also be enabling Challenges on PBE. Challenges is in its beta state. As we polish it up we're looking for issues and feedback to address before we release early in 2022. 
Specifically, rolling out the following:
  • Challenges page under profile.
  • New Challenges identity and customization
  • End of Game Progression screens
  • New Ranked identity
  • New lobby look and feel
We're looking for feedback around:
  • Overall experience
  • Challenges content and how it meets your needs
  • Bugs
If you want a refresher on these and other changes we're working on, head to our most recent blog: https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/challenges-coming-to-pbe/ 
To test certain challenges more effectively, we're enabling the Ranked Flex 5v5 queue in place of Normal Draft."

TFT Corner

Here's Riot Mort with a TFT PBE preview:
"Patch 11.24 Preview  
We're tackling a few key issues, the biggest of which is trait augment balance. We're buffing almost all of the trait augments so they will be more appealing choices, especially at 1-4 and especially prismatic version. Here's some examples. 
We're also going to be buffing and adjusting things that currently just aren't worth pursuing, opening up new options and build paths. 
This will be true for some traits, items, and augments. Here's some examples.
Finally we'll be focusing on increasing diversity amongst carries that aren't currently working as carries such as Lissandra, Seraphine, or Fiora. 
11.24 is an important patch since it will last a month! Let us know what you think via PBE if you want! 
If you're interested in trying these out, tomorrow's PBE deploy only (So Thursday at like 1pm PST to Friday at 1pm PST) will have the first augment set to 100% Prismatic."


Silco has been announced as a new mid-set TFT unit - TFT Mid-Set: Silco is coming!
"I’d like to let you in on a very important secret. For the first time in TFT history, we’ll be adding a TFT exclusive unit to the Gizmos & Gadgets mid-set in February—Silco. That's right, Arcane's hottest undercity overlord will be making his way to the Convergence this February. But adapting this villain from screen to slightly-smaller-screen comes with its own set of challenges. 
As our first unit independent of League of Legends’ champion roster, Silco poses unique challenges and opportunities for the team. Typically, we’re able to adapt League of Legends champions to Teamfight Tactics, with, well, a lot of work, but Silco isn’t coming to League of Legends, so we’ve had to build him from the ground up. 
Building a unit as sinister and powerful as Silco is no easy task. But, power doesn't come to those who were born strongest, or fastest, or smartest. It comes to those with thoughtful champion design. 
So to make Silco stand up as the villain you know and love-hate, we’ve started early on his concept, rigging, and animations. And cause we’ve started early, we’re also sharing early—just keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and good things take time!

While we aren’t ready to share details about Silco’s kit just yet, I will tell you that he will be a Mastermind when it comes to combat… 
And while Silco may be the first non-League unit to join TFT, there may be more outsiders joining us in the future. Maybe some from outside of Runeterra entirely… 
So let us know what you think our newest villain will be doing on the Convergence, and who else from outside League of Legends should be joining TFT!
