ARAM Updates on PBE

Riot Popc0rner

We've got some changes to ARAM coming to PBE!

Here's a quick list of what's new. We'll be posting a full /dev article on the Nexus that breaks down the reasons behind some of these changes (and more) soon.

You now start with the correct amount of experience for Level 3, instead of starting with no experience

Warmog's Armor has been removed

Dark Harvest soul drop amounts have been reduced from 5 (takedown) / 4 (cannon minion) to 4 / 2. We've added 3 new experimental items to ARAM:

Ghostwalkers

Bloodletter's Veil

Spectral Cutlass

Go check them out, and keep an eye out for the Nexus article, where we'll be going into much more detail.

Catch you out on the Abyss!"





New Tutorials are live on PBE!

Riot Bazaam

Hey folks!

I'm Riot Bazaam, coming to you from the New Player Experience team at Riot. Ya, we know, this has been a long time coming... but today, our brand new tutorials are ready to see the world on PBE. This set of 3 tutorials will replace the old HA Tutorial and Battle Training. There are still a few kinks we're working out, but we're in the home stretch and getting prepared to release these in the wild.

Two quick notes!

1) We are not yet rolling this out to all accounts, so your account may still run the old tutorial and battle training. This is not a bug

2) To access the tutorials, go to Play --> Training --> Tutorial and it should take you to our new tutorial menu. If the first card in the selection carousel shows Howling Abyss, unfortunately your account is still using the old tutorials.

Enjoy, and of course post any bugs and questions below. RIP Thornmail Ashe
