The new Runes are now on PBE! We're going to have an extra long PBE cycle for Runes so that we can gather your feedback and make changes. Please expect bugs, missing assets and weird numbers! 

Runes currently includes the following experiences: 

The Inventory 

Accessed from the "Runes" tab under Collection and dedicated to browsing and organizing (soon TM) created pages in the client. 

Editing
The ability to create, edit and delete new pages from the inventory or from champion select. Includes "line mode" and "grid mode" (grid mode pictured below) as well as short and long tooltips. 

Loading Screen
Updated assets showing teammate and opponent keystones and secondary Paths 

In Game
Yeah there's a lot here.

• Runes (Keystones and normal runes, VFX and audio additions where important)
• Runes panel
• Base stat adjustments
• Jungle tuning 

Runes do not yet include:

• End of Game adjustments
• Spectator mode adjustments 

Known Issues
(It is also a known issue that my formatting is bad) 

• Editing: 2 clicks are required on a secondary Path to display the bonus stat.
• Editing: Re-selecting secondary runes requires clicking the specific rune to de-select it and open up options (in both Line and Grid mode).
• Editing: Open primary Path drawers sometimes close when selecting a rune in a different drawer.
• Editing: The secondary Path icon stopped showing up in its home circle at 

• Loading Screen: Currently shows both Primary and Secondary path instead of just keystone & secondary path. Also looks butts. 

• In Game: Pinging the Runes UI does not properly display runes UI
• In Game: Runes icon for bonus stat is small and squished in the bottom right 

• Champion Select: The champion select dropdown has a pretty annoying bug we're working on where it's not properly switching equipped pages. Double check that you have the right page by opening the editing panel and using the dropdown within that as well so you don't end up in game with the wrong page. 

If you have feedback, questions or comments about runes please leave them below! The team will be monitoring this thread for your help catching bugs and iterating on all of runes. For in game feedback, it's very helpful for us if you also provide a screenshot of your in game runes panel AND the time your game ended (see example image below) as well as any details you think relevant. 

"Hey friends! 

We’re going to be changing up some elements of how Rune pages work shortly after they arrive back on PBE. We’ll be looking at how players use the pages they have, and what tensions different numbers of pages put on champion select for different queues, selection orders, etc. Some of the exploration will be to limit PBE accounts to the states most players experience on live. To do this, we’ll be running some experiments on the number of unlocked pages each user has and making some changes that help mimic the average player experience. 

PBE isn’t a perfect representation of the Live experience. Players have infinite RP and IP to purchase the maximum amount of rune pages, and are generally playing to test rather than playing to win, so there’s less pressure to optimize choices. However, it is one of the few windows we have to experiment with these sorts of dials, and your feedback will be invaluable to helping us make sure we’re building a great experience on Live. We’ll likely be moving through different tunings rather quickly, and apologies in advance if there’s some confusing changes or frustration. 

Estimated Timeline for PBE changes: 

~10/11 - Around this time, we’ll restrict the number of editable pages to just 2 (preset pages do not and will never count towards this number) in order to mimic the common player experience on live. This is irrespective of how many pages you own. We’ll be surveying and monitoring sentiment. 

~10/13 - As long as we get enough days on PBE with the 2 page iteration, we’ll be moving forward with a 3 page iteration to see the effects of increased pages on either Friday, October 13th or Monday, October 16th. On 10/19, we’ll be turning off Preseason changes again to ship 7.21. 

~10/24 - This will be the final cycle of Preseason change will on PBE. Tune pages will no longer be restricted and your editable pages will reflect the amount of pages you own. Some time during this cycle we’ll add 15 seconds to the finalization phase (this is after champion selection and when the client says “choose your loadout”) on every queue.

PBE Signups are OPEN! 

"Hey PBE comrades, 

It’s about time to get some fresh blood in here to join the dedicated veterans. 

PBE sign-ups have been closed while we’ve been working on tech and feature upgrades. Well, that’s done! Let’s open the floodgates so that players can get their hands on upcoming content and share all that juicy feedback with us. 

What’s changing? 

Sign-ups

• New folks, when you register you’ll need to link your PBE account to your main account.
• The system will check that your main account doesn’t have any current player behavior restrictions or bans.
• You must be at least Honor level 3. Learn more about sign-ups and the PBE here.
• Current PBE players do not have to re-register or tie in accounts. Just log-in like normal and welcome the new folks!
• New accounts will be brought to level 30, loaded up with Riot Points and Blue Essence. This could take up to an hour to show up after you set up your new summoner name. 

Infrastructure 

• The infrastructure has gotten a major overhaul and now we’ve got brand new stable servers. This is a North American server. Players outside of North America may experience higher latency. 

What isn’t changing?

• The devs working on the content you are testing are generally English-speakers. You should expect this to be the main language developers will be using on the forums.
• We love your feedback, whether it’s about a bug you experienced, audio-visual quality, or just the general feel of content. PBE feedback helps put concerns on our radar before new changes hit live.
• Beta content isn’t going to be perfectly polished, so you may encounter some gnarly bugs. We appreciate your support in helping us get it right. Learn best practices about reporting bugs here. 

Are you still reading this? 

• What are you waiting for? Get on there and check out all the shiny new toys. (Runes reforged, anyone?) 

New players, get over here to sign up! (You can select a different language in the corner).

Asleep/Drowsy Teaser on PBE

"TOYING WITH TWILIGHT 

It’s been a long time since we had a new mage (and even longer since we released a new burst mage). With this in mind, we’ve redirected some time to creating a new burst mage with the tools to approach a fight from… interesting angles. We also wanted to take this chance to do something a bit more playful and bubbly as opposed to the dark and serious champions we’ve done recently. The new mage will have unique abilities that haven’t been seen before in League, so hold onto your summoner spells and don’t fall asleep, because change is coming… cataclysmic change. Also, sparkles!"
