Just out of curiosity, but if we were to re-open PROJECT PBE for the next week up until the lock next wednesday, would players be interested? It would likely be locked to Tier 1 players (current TPC) + 1 referral, but if there's enough interest we could look into using this as a testing grounds for the demotion/promotion system for Tier 2, and open it up to significantly more players.

Follow up from yesterdays post about unlocks changing in 16.6. The first batch of changes will be heading to PBE either later today or tomorrow, but wanted to give everyone the first glimpse of what we are changing. Attached is the full list of every planned unlock change. If it's not listed, assume it is not changing. Next, let's talk about follow up changes. We know we can't just make these changes and call it a day, and they will have impacting effects on balance. The balance changes won't be on PBE quite yet (team is working on it), but some stuff you can expect include: -Shadow Isles scaling adjusted so the champs are better base units and not as reliant on souls -Ixtal nerfs to compensate for easier access to their 4 costs -Veigar and 8 Yordle nerfs -Prismatic quest augments reworked or disabled -General balance for all the champs based on their accessibility -and more! I'll also note that these are NOT final. One of the reasons we're getting them to PBE ASAP is to be able to have time to respond to feedback. If folks end up with some strong negative feels after trying them out, we'll be sure to adjust before our patch locks. If you end up playing these on PBE, give us feedback. We'll be paying pretty close attention to things like scrims. And all the changes will be LOCKED by next Wednesday so if you are looking for stable practice, after that day will be the best. Ok, have a great day and take it easy :)
