Pizza Chicken Ward ??

One for All is coming to PBE

Here's Riot Popc0rner with details on the triumphant return of

"After a long hiatus, we're excited to bring One For All back to Summoner's Rift! Ever wondered how fast 5 fully-geared Sivirs can run? Or what happens when a Tahm Kench eats a Tahm Kench who's eaten a Tahm Kench? Now's your chance to hop on PBE and find out. What's One For All?

5v5 Battle on Summoner's Rift

All 5 players on each team play the same champion

Vote for your champion in Champ Select (Now with 5 bans!) What's new?

Summoner's Rift has been sped up for One For All. You'll start at level 3, gain experience and gold faster, and more!

Shields and most buffs now stack. The main exception is slows, which "stack", but only apply the single strongest value.

Four votes are required to lock in a champion, instead of three. Champions that haven't seen the light of OFA before:

Camille

Xayah

Rakan

Kayn

Ornn

Zoe

Kaisa Champions that have been reworked since last time:

Warwick

Galio

Urgot

Xin Zhao

Evelynn

Swain Disabled champions:

Teemo

Karthus Wait, did you say Summoner's Rift is faster? I did! We're trying to let people cut right to the fun of One For All, do the Wombo Combo™ a couple of times and then have the game end. During playtests, we found that the midgame was, by far, the most fun part of a game of OFA. Thus, most of the changes we made in this vein are intended to accelerate both teams into the midgame quickly, blend into the late-game for a while, and then tip decisively in the winning team's favor. As an extra benefit, being out-voted into a champion you don't like, or accidentally winding up in a really bad matchup isn't a big deal -- you can move onto the next game pretty quickly. Overall, we're shooting for a game length of 20-25 minutes. If you have a game that's significantly longer than that, we want to know about it! Thanks for reading, and as ever, let us know what you think!"



Waveclear work for 8.6 or later Riot Repertoir with a thread on

Hello! It's been noticed that there are some changes to minions on the PBE, and those haven't been socialized at all, so here's a place to discuss those things. Basic Idea The changes are primarily aimed at making it more difficult to easily clear minion waves. I think that some version of that is good primarily because it means you'll have to spend more time in your lane actively managing the wave, resulting in increased time for you and your opponent to interact with each other. The more opportunities you have to interact with your opponent, the more you can demonstrate your own skill over them, and League could use a more opportunities to demonstrate skill over your opponent that don't necessarily manifest as "push and roam" strategies or other map-influencing strategies. This aims to improve the ability for players to beat their opponent in lane. There will certainly be balance outliers created on the top end as a result of this work, and they will need to be addressed if we move forward. There are additional changes to minion gold value that concentrate it into cannons without meaningfully altering the amount of gold gained from minions (especially pre 20 minutes). This is another tactic to create regular conflict between lane opponents. Straight up, I do NOT expect these changes to be immediately popular. Still, I could see doing them if I thought they increased the quality of the game over the long term especially. Both those things said, I'm not necessarily convinced this is the perfect list to get the best results. It's on the PBE regardless so that there can be conversation around it before things are finalized. Here are the changes: "Upgrades" occur every 3 waves, so using the melee minion example below, they go from gaining 18 Health (plus 0.3 per upgrade) every 3 waves to ganing 21 Health every 3 waves.

Melee Minions

Base HP :: 473 >>> 480



HP Growth :: 18 +0.3/upgrade >>> 21



Gold Value :: 20 >>> 21



Gold Value Growth :: 0.125 >>> 0

Caster Minions

Base HP :: 296 >>> 320



HP Growth :: 6 >>> 14



Gold Value :: 17 >>> 14



Gold Value Growth :: 0.125 >>> 0

Cannon Minions

Base HP :: 828 >>> 900



HP Growth :: 23 +0.3/upgrade >>> 50



Gold Value :: 45 >>> 60



Gold Value Growth :: 0.35 >>> 3 Thanks in advance for any input."

[theblade has experimental changes in testing on PBE. ] Context & Notes 1) Here's ricklessabandon with context and a changelist for Ahri in today's PBE update:

[1] okay, have a bit of ahri info for anyone waiting on pbe iterations — going to have two different versions to try out, one for wednesday and another for thursday wednesday version is going to put more power into charm thursday version is going to put more power into spirit rush [2] both versions will have movement speed removed from orb of deception, and both versions will have minor adjustments to fox-fire [3] here's a preview of the wednesday version — we'll be looking out for feedback on how this version feels to play, as well what kinds of things about it players might like to see adjusted, before swapping over to the next iteration

2) Regarding the Guinsoo's Rageblade PBE iterations in 8.6, Meddler explained:

"We're experimenting with some different directions, including melee/ranged splits, whether it should be a hybrid item or not, whether it should be a rush item or something that you pair with previously built on hit stuff, whether it should have a stat line that forces Adaptive stats to AP etc. One of our goals is to try and open it up to more users, without just buffing it even more for those it's already strong on. Not sure what the team's thoughts are on the current version on the PBE, it only went into testing a day or two ago (had different changes again before that). Will pick their brains and get some more thoughts in for Friday." 3) PhRoXzOn noted a changelist and context for changes on Lee Sin coming in today's PBE update:

[1] Gathering thoughts on Lee Sin: The following is hitting PBE today, but we're still iterating on stuff internally: Energy Return :: 20/10 >>> 20/10 (at lv1) - 30/15 (at lv11) - When Lee gets CDR and runs out of energy, feels like a kick in the teeth for an already

bad late game.



[2] Speculative changes (still in testing): - Q range increase (1100 >>> 1200). * With reduced access to wards and hops; improving access to big Q -> hop plays.

* W->E is pretty optimal in most cases, so leading with Q I'd imagine is not too powerful. Check out [THIS PAGE] for a comprehensive list of the new content & changes currently on the PBE as a part of this cycle or catch up with the individual update links below !
