11-2 PBE Update: Dragon Trainer Lulu's W, S2 Border Changes, HS+BFT changes

Posted on at 7:36 PM by Moobeat
A small patch has been deployed to the PBE!

Continue reading for all the changes, including an update to Dragon Trainer Lulu's W graphic, Direforge Darius being enabled for testing, a change to the S2 reward borders, and some item changes.

Dragon Trainer Lulu's W Particle
If you played on the PBE or watched the video from the original post, you may have noticed Dragon Trainer Lulu's W polymorphed enemies into nothing, making them invisible. This patch saw an addition of that missing particle - a cute baby dragon that runs around like a mad man.

There were also a few tweaks to the particles of Zed and Bladestorm Zed but nothing too fancy.

Direforge Darius unlocked for testing
For those itching to try out the new Direforge Darius skin, it has been activated for testing on the PBE and can be purchased for a trivial fee.


S2 Reward Borders Updated
They also updated the S2 reward banners to cover more space.

Item Changes
Hextech Sweeper and Blackfire Torch got some changes this patch. Hextech Sweeper now fills the role of the movement speed AP item since Wooglet's has been changed and Blackfire Torch has been altered heavily, moving it into a CDR  / Pen item.
Hextech Sweeper
  • Total cost increased to 1485, now builds out of two Amplifying Tomes + Kindlegem.
  • Ability Power increased to 50 from 25.
  • Unique passive changed to +10% movement speed from "spell damage grants vision of your target(including stealthed targets)for 4 seconds."

Blackfire Torch
  • Total cost increased to 2950 from 2890, now builds out of a Haunting Guise and a Kage's Lucky Pick instead of a Catalyst + Pick.
  • Ability power increased to 70 from 50
  • Health reduced to 250 from 300
  • Mana reduced to 0 from 350

    1. If I'm not mistaken the whole "that tasted purple" thing is a Futurama reference. There was an episode where Fry's memory was erased and he said, "Did something just taste purple?"

    2. I think its fine. Could be better but at least we get more rewards compared to S1. IMO it should change if you go above the rated award. Ex: S2 awarded gold and S3 you manage to reach platinum... The borders should change to reflect the new status. Just a thought. >_<
