Friend Discovery Feature back on PBE

"Hey everyone,

We’re going to activate the previously announced Friend Discovery Hub on the PBE over the next couple of days. There’s a few things you should keep in mind though, so here we go:

We’re still in the middle of developing this feature. So… there are still a few incomplete pieces. Also, we want to make sure we point out the hub won’t be hitting live servers in the next patch (obviously, since it’s not done yet!) This is a pretty complicated feature on the server-side, and we’ll be testing out a few of our behind-the-scenes privacy safeguards in addition to just the normal Facebook authentication flow (reminder: it’s opt-in!)

If you do want to temporarily opt-in and hitch your Facebook account onto your PBE LoL account, we’d appreciate it! Having that said, we also think it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll see any friend recommendations just due to the small number of players with PBE access (although if you have Facebook friends who are also on the PBE, that’s awesome!)

We’ll have more details on how you can help us focus when testing friend recommendations in a future post. For now, let us know if you have any questions, feedback, comments, or bug reports!

Items

[Note: Tooltip bugged on PBE atm ]

Passive - Jungler: Health regen lowered to 6 from 7. New Effect: The amount of health gained per second increases to 12 while below 50% health (no regeneration is gained while in combat with cowardly monsters)

[Context from Riot Reinboom :

(1)"Cowardly monsters means rift scuttler. This is because heal now starts when you are dealt damage OR deal damage to a monster."

(2)"More context: This is specifically targeted at your first few camps. This takes off about 1/2 potion of health to the top top junglers 1/2 "

(3)"but adds 2 to 3 effective potions of health the weakest of junglers and should enable more junglers to pass the first clear."]
