Notes

Solcrushed

"Tank Galio looks to be out of line both damage and durability wise, draining power out of the base numbers and putting them back to AP ratios and Q. Full tank passive damage will drop significantly while builds that feature some AP should be affected less."

"Spell queuing for E and R should be in! Taking out the Armor ratios as they are confusing and making him too good vs physical damage. Armor already grants defense against them and W's DR will still work. No need to have extra % tacked on. Reduced the DR linger to match the taunt duration better to signal windows better, but made it so W cooldown starts on cast instead of discharge."

Meddler

"Aatrox hotfix

All going according to plan we should be putting out a balance hotfix for Aatrox today. We concluded he was definitely in too poor a state to leave until the next regular patch and wasn't likely to recover enough just based off relearning. Changes include increased starting health (580, was 537 and had been kept low historically because of the impact of the previous revive in lane), Q CD down (13-11, was 16-12) and W damage up (45-185, was 30-150). Suspect it's likely we'll also make Aatrox changes in 7.6, though we'll need to see where these put him first of course. "

"Knight's Vow on PBE

We saw some reports yesterday that Knight's Vow had been reverted to its older stats and build path on the PBE yesterday. Going to be looking into that today, it's not an intended change so it's either a datamining error or we've accidentally stomped the newer version with an old file somehow."

Today's patch includes visual effects changes for several ofskins! We have new VFX sets forandas well as unique R decals for several skins.has a new vfx set and a new R decal has a new vfx set and a new R decal and Debonair Galio also now both have unique R stamps:recall and dance sounds are in - donk donk donk donk donk donk!textures have been changed but are still aBelow are a few notes and posts relating to current PBE content in 7.6 cycle.
