5/21 PBE Update: Sona and Sejuani Balance Changes

Posted on by Moobeat
A small PBE patch has been deployed! It's fairly empty save for some balance changes for Sona and Sejuani.

( Note: PBE changes are tentative and iterative! What you see below is subject to change and may not fully reflect the finished or intended changes.  )

Ghost Bride Morgana and Woad King Darius available for testing.
Ghost Bride Morgana and Woad King Darius are now available for testing. They are both priced at 975, which means, in accordance with Riot's PBE pricing changes, they should be that price once they hit live servers.

Balance Changes
( Note: These are taken from the game's tooltips. Will confirm once server is up )

Sejuani
  • Flail of the Northern Winds ( W ) bonus HP ratio reduced to 12% from 16%.

Sona
  • Base HP increased to 380 from 340.
  • Base Armor increased to 8 from 6.
  • Aria of Perseverance ( W ) armor and MR bonus changed to 6/7/8/9/10 from 3/6/9/12/15
  • Aria of Perseverance ( W ) activation now grants 6/7/8/9/10 bonus armor and magic resist for 3 seconds, down from 8/11/14/17/20. ( Editor's note: It still heals., I don't know why there is confusion here. )
