PBE and the patch forecast. @merello @ghostcrawler @jag
Can we getting some actual changes on the PBE to adress the problems that are present? This is all that has been modified (minus skins).
Braum Winter's Bite ( Q ) mana cost reduced to 55/60/65/70/75 from 60/65/70/75/80
Gragas Drunken Rage ( W ) cooldown lowered to 6 at all ranks from 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 Explosive Cask ( R ) [[ range appears to be up to 1150 from 1050 ]]
Jarvan IV Martial Cadence ( Passive ) now starts at 10% ( up from 6/8/10% ) damage but cool down has been increased to 10/8/6 seconds ( from 6 seconds ). Cooldown decreases at level 7 and 13. [ Context: See Meddler's comments ]
Golden Aegis ( W ) mana cost lowered to 30 at all ranks from 45/50/55/60/65
Miss Fortune Double Up ( Q ) now has a .35 AP ratio on the initial damage and a .5 AP ratio on the second hit.
Malphite Granite Shield ( Passive ) recharge rate lowered to 10/8/6 ( reducing at level 7 and 13 ) from 10 seconds at all levels Brutal Strikes ( W ) mana cost lowered to 25 at all ranks from 50/55/60/65/70
Tryndamere Spinning Slash ( E ) tooltip now properly lists it grants rage when dealing damage to enemies [ Context: tool tip update, no change ]
Items Sunfire Cape New visual effects! See above.
Wriggle's Lantern Bug fix: Wriggle's lantern's buff tooltip now properly notes you need 30 stacks to transform into Feral Flare [ Context : This balance change went out in 4.6 but the tooltip wasn't updated ]
This is so little and not even attacking what 4.6 and 4.7 forecast was about. When i see forecast with a patch number i expect to be seeing the goals being worked on for the patch. You may not get everything done but working towards is a start and i am ok with that.
So far you have not even touched tanks being out classed in the jungle nor feral flare direction changes. It was rioter who said that they wanted to go a different direction with FF and not push it so hard into late game. I am fine with that put something on the PBE for people to test.
Normally a week into the PBE there would be tons of changes being worked on but the fwe you have put into the system are minor tweeks and again do not address the big issues in the game. Changes like Feral Flare and tank jungle need time to be corrected. I feel like riot is not being efficient with there testing cycles if there goal is 4.7.
I understand that things take but it looks like all talk and no action right now.
