The PBE has been updated! As we continue the 8.14 PBE cycle, today's patch includes more tentative balance changes for Tristana, the Stormrazor item, and more!
Continue reading for more information!

Balance Changes

NOTE*: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, & experimental changes. Be aware that what you see below may be relative to other changes earlier this cycle! These are not official notes.

Champions
Tristana
  • Explosive Charge (E) 
    • mana cost changed from from [60 at all ranks] to [50/55/60/65/70]
      • Vs Live: from [70/75/80/85/90] to [50/55/60/65/70]
    • cooldown reverted from [16/15/14/13/12] to [16/15.5/15/14.5/14]

Items

Stormrazor
[Stormrazor has other changes in testing on the PBE!]
  • Now gains 1% damage per .75% critical strike chance
    • Lowered from [1% damage per 1.5% critical strike chance]

Runes

Ghost Poro (D3)
  • Effect changed:
"Entering brush will swap your current Trinket for a Ghost Poro. The Ghost Poro can be placed at your feet and will provide vision for 300s, or until you place a new one. 
Whilst either you or your Ghost Poro is in enemy territory, gain 5-20 adaptive stats, based on level.  
If an enemy enters brush with a poro in it, they scare it away, putting Ghost Poro on a 60s cooldown."

Zombie Ward (D3)
  • Effect changed:
"Each takedown of an enemy Ward will cause a friendly Zombie Ward to sprout from its corpse. In addition, damaging an enemy Champion after destroying a Ward takedown inflicts 30 - 90 bonus magic damage (based on level). 
Zombie Wards are visible, last for 120s and don't count towards your ward limit."

Ravenous Hunter, Ultimate Hunter, Ingenious Hunter, Relentless Hunter (D4)
  • Bounty Hunter stacks now grant 80 bonus gold

Context & Notes

1) Riot Maple on an 8.13b balance patch planned soon:
"As we talked about on the boards, we're going to be releasing a small patch, 8.13b if you will, given that we're on a 3 week patch cycle atm (8.14 goes live on the 17th/18th of July). Primary focus is on marksman/crit, with a few other champs sprinkled in there in there"
2) Riot NeuroCat noted the Fizz W changes should be heading out with 8.14:
"Just an update, we're looking to ship these changes in 8.14 - I'll let y'all know if we change the numbers, but they don't seem too far off."
