2014 Season Start PBE Test - Non ranked Queues disabled until ~12/13 Here's Riot Socrates with more info on the upcoming "2014 Season Start" PBE test! "Hey everybody, we’re going to be performing the test run for the 2014 season start in the near future on PBE. In order to ensure that everything is working properly we’re turning off all non-ranked queues so we have a healthy number of users playing ranked. If you could give us a hand by playing a few games to get seeded for the current season it will help us to ensure everything is working correctly once we perform the switch. We expect that we will reopen all queues Monday 12-23. Thanks, Riot Socrates" Riot Feithe n added: "When we make the switch to the new season, a ton of things happen under the hood to player data. We are going to make that switch on PBE in the near future but some players here don't actually play ranked. We want as much data as possible to ensure things will go smoothly when we switch on the new season on Live. For now, you shouldn't see any changes. Play a few games for us, get placed, and we'll post again when we've actually started the new season."

Balance Changes A few of the new summoner icons have had minor adjustments:

Champions Annie*

Pyromania ( Passive ) is now 1.25/1.5/1.75s (increasing at levels 1/6/11) instead of 1.75 sec stun duration. Summon Tibbers ( R ) cool down lowered to 120/100/80 from 120 at all ranks Evelynn

Ravage ( E ) damage increased to 70/110/150/190/230 total from 50/95/140/185/230 total. [ this is a change to the changes from two pbe patches ago ] Nasus

Wither ( W ) range returned to 600 from 500 [ this is a buff from the nerf last pbe patch ] Rengar

Battle Roar ( W ) Ferocity bonus healing numbers look a bit different - Seems to now be [ 20 + 10 per level base heal ]but up to 2x base heal based on health missing. Riven

Base damage decreased to 51 from 54

Damage per level increased to 3 from 2.75



Items



Lord Vann Damm's Pillager

Crit chance increased to 30 from 25 Wicked Hatched

Attack damage increased to 20 from 15.

Other

The OUTER TURRETS now have a new item that reduces damage taken from champion attacks by 20 but they have also had their armor reduced by 60 ( ~5% mitigation )

Context on Annie changes in Today's Update As seen above, Annie's passive's stun duration was changed to 1.25/1.5/1.75 sec from 1.75 sec and Annie's R cooldown was lowered to 120/100/80 from 120 at all ranks in today's update.

Meddler with aAnnie Changes, Here'swith a few comments on these tentativeChanges, "We're currently testing 1.25/1.5/1.75s (increasing at levels 1/6/11). That's a nerf to Annie's early game and one that affects duo lane Annie a bit more than solo lane Annie, since she'll be leveling slower. The ult CD reduction is intended to add power to the later part of her power curve, in recognition that the early part's getting reduced."
