Continued Nexus Blitz Testing
Riot August posted an updated Nexus Blitz change list for 8/1 focused around stability -
"Initial patches will target bugs and whatnot to ensure the mode is stable.
Patch notes for PBE 8/1 -
Items
---Fixed Runic Echoes recipe to build out of the right items (Fiendish Codex instead of Lost Chapter)
---Fixed a bug that was causing the Bilgewater ARAM items to be disabled (Spectral Cutlass, Ghostwalkers, Bloodletter's Veil)
Events----Attempting a fix to the event spawn rate bug. Events are sometimes failing to activate, creating long periods of time (even whole games) without events."
Miscellaneous
- Syndra's in client bio was tweaked:
Old: "Syndra is a fearsome dark mage with incredible power at her command. As a child of Ionia, she disturbed the village elders with her prodigious but reckless use of magic. They sent her away to be trained under strict supervision, but she quickly surpassed her mentor and discovered he was restraining her powers. Betrayed and disgusted by such cowardice, Syndra eliminated her teacher and struck out to destroy all who would try to limit her potential, dark spheres in hand."
New: "Syndra is a fearsome Ionian mage with incredible power at her command. As a child, she disturbed the village elders with her reckless and wild magic. She was sent away to be taught greater control, but eventually discovered her supposed mentor was restraining her abilities. Forming her feelings of betrayal and hurt into dark spheres of energy, Syndra has sworn to destroy all who would try to control her."
- Karma's in client bio was also tweaked:
Old: "No champion exemplifies the spiritual traditions of Ionia more than Karma. She is the living embodiment of an ancient soul reincarnated countless times, carrying all her accumulated memories into each new life. With this insight, she serves as a spiritual beacon to her people, bestowing boundless wisdom and healing in times of crisis. Despite being blessed with power that few could comprehend, she rarely uses her magic for destruction, as it always comes at a considerable cost-- both to her, and to the land she holds most dear."
New: "No mortal exemplifies the spiritual traditions of Ionia more than Karma. She is the living embodiment of an ancient soul reincarnated countless times, carrying all her accumulated memories into each new life, and blessed with power that few can comprehend. She has done her best to guide her people in recent times of crisis, though she knows that peace and harmony may come only at a considerable cost-- to her, and to the land she holds most dear."
- Store assets for each new chroma added:
Cosmic Defender Xin Zhao
Cosmic Queen Ashe
Cosmic Enchantress Lulu
Mafia Braum
Mecha Aurelion Sol
Balance Changes

More thoughts on damage later this week
We're doing some planning around where damage comes from in LoL at present as mentioned previously. Should have some further thoughts to share in more detail later this week. Things we're particularly looking at are:
- Different systems damage is coming from (how much from kits, versus items, versus runes etc)
- How much damage, from non kit sources in particular, is front loaded (burst versus sustain)
- Which damage sources should/shouldn't stack together (non stacking unique passive on items for example)
For anyone that missed it also talked last week about how lack of tanks (defensive ones especially) being played can also contribute to damage being high (less champs to soak, more champs per team with high damage output).
