VPBE

 Last PBE Patch: November 8th

Below you will find a comprehensive list of new features, skins and balance changes that are currently active in the PBE, relative to the live server. These changes are tentative and are all subject to change.

This blog has absorbed the former Season 4 Patch Notes blog. As such, for the next few weeks some of the changes listed below are speculative or planned (in addition to those that have already been pushed to the PBE).

Announcement: The preseason for Season 4 begins on November 12th and the various changes will be rolled out over the coming weeks. Season 4 begins in early 2014 and the on Ranked will not happen until then. The decision to perform the soft-reset the preseason is to prevent another -incident.

New Skins in the Store The following skins have been added to the store:
 * (Legendary Skin)
 * A texture for a new skin has appeared in the game files

PVP.net
 * It should no longer be possible to scroll through your skins after the final 10 seconds of champion select are up.
 * A possible upgrade to Mastery/Rune selection.
 * There is now an integrated replay system. Replays are stored on the server for 7 days. You can move these files to your local machine, at which point they are only deleted when you choose to do so. Replays you've watched are automatically transferred to your local machine. You can also save replays of another player's games by viewing the games in their match history.
 * A new team-building feature that allows you to host/join matchmade teams based on the champions and roles you want to play. The captain has the ability to accept and decline prospective team mates; and team members can leave at any time. This will be initially implemented as an independent game mode, alongside Blind and Draft (and will initially be unranked).

Ranked

 * LP clamping no longer applies below Diamond 1 (i.e. there is no longer a minimum or maximum LP gain). This will be particularly noticeable in Bronze 1, Silver 1 and Gold 1 as summoners in those divisions currently suffer massively modified LP gains and losses to prevent "lucking" into the next League.
 * It is now possible to be demoted from a League (i.e. Gold 5 to Silver 1).
 * To be demoted, your MMR must drop to Division 5 of the previous League (i.e. playing with Silver 5 MMR while in Gold 5). You will receive a warning informing you that you will soon be demoted. Losing subsequent games will lead to demotion to Division 1 of the previous League.
 * There is a 10 game grace period after being promoted to a new League where your MMR cannot be reduced below the requirement to be there.
 * The size of the Challenge-tier has been increased to 200 summoners in Solo/Duo Queue.
 * There is now a minimum LP gain of 1 for ranked wins.

Game Modes

 * Magma Chambers
 * Loads of code for the 2v2 Magma Chambers map has appeared in the game files.


 * Featured Mode
 * Riot has created a large selection of game modes that will only be playable for short periods at a time before being replaced with a different game mode.


 * One For All - Everyone on a team plays the same champion
 * The champion a team plays is chosen by vote - each player chooses a champion and then the most picked champion wins. If the team can't agree, one will be randomly picked from tied votes.
 * Availability: Match-made Summoner's Rift and all maps in Custom Games
 * Some champions are excluded from match-made Summoner's Rift (such as Teemo and Karthus)
 * Each team has three bans (similar to Draft), but their picks are hidden.

Runes

 * The primary goal for runes is to tie marks, seals and glyphs to the specific wants and needs of various champion roles in League - similar to how masteries are used. Going forward, this creates a stronger association between marks and offense, seals and defense, and glyphs and utility. — RicklessAbandon


 * Marks/Reds will now be the primary source of all Offensive bonuses (not just AD-related stats)
 * Seals/Yellows will now be the primary source of all Defensive bonuses (not just armor and health)
 * Glyphs/Blues will now be the primary source of all Utility bonuses (rather than mage-related stats and MR)


 * Marks (Offensive)


 * I would wager that the Primary AP runes will now be Marks, rather than Glyphs.


 * Seals (Defensive)


 * New "Hybrid Mitigation" Seals


 * Glyphs (Uility)


 * Gold Runes are now Glyph-exclusive, rather than Seal-exclusive.


 * Quintessences


 * 1 Quintessence will now match 3 Primary Marks/Seals/Glyphs for all stats (changed from 2-4). Essentially, a set of quintessences functions as a second set of Marks, Glyphs and Seals.

Runes that are removed will be refunded. In the instance of a rune moving from one type to another (say, Seals to Glyphs) - the original rune will be deleted-and-refunded, and a new rune will be introduced at the same price.

Stats

 * Mana
 * Mana is just inconsistently applied. It should be used to primarily gate the castability of one highly powerful spell, with lesser costs on safer, less aggressive or less lane stagnating options. When applied this way, it makes buying additional mana meaningful, without ruining the core pattern of the character. — Xelnath


 * Mana costs may be reworked across the board.
 * A substantial number of mana cost changes have already been rolled out (see: V3.9, V3.10, V3.11, V3.12 and V3.13).


 * Percentage Penetration
 * Percentage Penetration will use a system more similar to Damage Reduction (Armor/MR).


 * My comment: The current damage reduction system uses a formula of 1 - (100 / [100+Armor] ). With this formula, 30 Armor gives you 23% damage reduction from physical damage. If Riot uses that kind of system for penetration, buying an item with 35 Magic Penetration would make you ignore 26% of your target's magic resistance (assuming it's the exact same formula). The reason to use this system rather than simply changing Void Staff to have 26% Magic Penetration is that this formula imposes diminishing returns on stacking penetration. This system would probably see all sources of penetration being combined (flat and percentage) and maybe even more options - since stacking them would now be less efficient.


 * Armor and Magic Resist
 * Riot is dissatisfied that everyone takes Armor Seals and MR Glyphs and blames it on the appalling base-defenses of most champions. While the changes to runes will hopefully make other options attractive, they also want to buff the defensive stats of champions that are basically forced to take defensive runes. As always - Riot wants players choosing rather than feeling like they have to.


 * Adjustments to many champion's armor and magic resist.

League of Legends V4

General

 * Most general, gameplay affecting changes are only for Summoner's Rift for the time being.


 * The initial spawn time for lane minions has been reduced to 1 minute (from 1:30).
 * The initial spawn time for lesser monster camps has been reduced to 1:30 (from 2:05).
 * The initial spawn time for buff camps has been reduced to 1:35 (from 1:55).
 * New item slot that is used to hold Trinkets. Trinkets use the default shortcut 4, with the existing 4, 5 and 6 being bumped up to 5, 6 and 7.
 * Trinkets are unusable for the first 90 seconds of the game and selling one puts the slot on cooldown for 3 minutes.
 * New recall animation.
 * New appearance for health bars.
 * The player's health bar is now coloured different to their allies and enemies (green; yellow in color-blind mode).
 * The brush layout has been significantly overhauled. (Images courtesy of Surrender@20)


 * There is now a fancy animation that causes the brush to wobble as you walk through it. This animation is only seen by allied players - it does not give away your position to enemies.
 * The experience curve has been adjusted slightly.


 * Kills, Assist and Deaths
 * Champion kills are now worth 60% of their base value for the first 2 minutes. This increases to the standard amount by 4 minutes. This is a modifier that is applied after Kill Streaks/Death Steaks/First Blood bonus applied.
 * First Blood before 2 minutes is now worth 240 gold (180+60).
 * Champion assists are worth the standard 50% of the kill value only for the first 20 minutes; this now increases to 80% of the kill value by 35 minutes. (Remember that assist gold is split among all members who receive an assist. Before 20 minutes: two assists means 25% of the kill value to each of them.)
 * Champions with more assists than kills will now receive bonus gold when they score an assist. The bonus gold is based on the number of assists they have more than their kills:
 * 2 more: 30 gold
 * 3 more: 45 gold
 * 4+ more: 60 gold
 * For every 1000 gold you earn from minions and monsters your Death Spree is reduced by 1.
 * Base death timer lowered to 5(2.5level) from 10(2level) (lower early game but the same late game).


 * Turrets
 * Base damage adjusted to match minion health growth.
 * Base damage against minions increased to make last-hitting under turrets consistent.
 * Lane Turrets
 * Now grant 100 gold to all players on the team (down from 150).
 * Champions who damaged the tower, supported someone who damaged the tower or simply came within a radius of the tower within the last 30 seconds also gain a share of 150 gold.
 * No longer grant global experience.
 * Base Turrets
 * Now grant 125 gold to all players on the team (down from 150).
 * Champions who damaged the tower, supported someone who damaged the tower or simply came within a radius of the tower within the last 30 seconds also gain a share of 100 gold.
 * Inhibitor Turrets now have 15 health regeneration.
 * Inhibitors
 * Now grant 175 gold to all players on the team (changed from 50 gold to champions who assisted in killing them).
 * Global experience increased to 100 from 70.
 * Death timer reduced to 4 minutes from 5 minutes.
 * Downed inhibitors will no longer make all minions on the attacking team stronger. Instead, only the minions pushing the exposed lane will receive the buff.


 * Minions
 * Lane minions now utilize a level system.
 * A minion's level is calculated when the minion spawns and is based on the average champion level (AFK players are excluded).
 * This currently has no gameplay impact - this feature is in development.
 * The experience from lane minions currently does not scale.
 * Gold, health and damage still scale with time.

Jungle

 * I'm currently working on a cleaner article for the jungle - you can follow my progress here.


 * Jungle monsters now utilize a level system.
 * A monster's level is calculated when the monster spawns and is based on the average champion level (AFK players are excluded).
 * A monster's level determines its health, damage and bounty (exp and gold).
 * Killing jungle monsters a higher level than yourself can be worth up to 50% bonus experience (based on level difference).
 * A fourth jungle camp has been added near the Ancient Golem and Wolves.


 * Cooldown reduction lowered to 10% from 20%.
 * Cooldown reduction lowered to 10% from 20%.


 * You deal % bonus damage to towers and gain bonus movement speed while out of combat.
 * Temporarily reverted as this new effect isn't achieving what Riot wants. They still want Baron's buff to increase pushing power without completely overwhelming the defending team. Part the reason the new buff is being axed is that attempting to take Baron became far too much of a risk (the current saying "baron loses games" became more of a fact). Without the massive offensive steroid: the contesting team almost always won the fight.
