VPBE

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. Please do not replicate this information elsewhere on the site.'''

An entry that has been struck-through is a change that has been reverted during the current cycle or a change that did not go live from the previous cycle. These changes may return at a later date, but will be removed from this article if they have not been seen for one whole cycle.

Preseason 2015 Forecast

 * Riot will be pushing a lot of HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL changes onto the PBE over the next few weeks - some of which will be very disruptive. These are by no means guaranteed to go live. In addition to being experimental - some of the content isn't fully baked and will be using old/existing assets as placeholders. 


 * Strategic diversity (ways to win) — Seems vague, but Riot's planning to better support alternate strategies (including deathmatch, split pushing, sieging, objective control, etc). This not only includes making them more viable as a means to victory - but also enabling counteractions (currently it feels like there's not much you can really do against splitpushing unless you happened to have taken teleport before the game started). This includes:
 * Tweaks to towers and other objectives (new jungle rewards, jungle camp, "Dragon buff", etc).
 * More powerful but also more situational item actives
 * Jungler diversity (ways to jungle) — Junglers of all creeds should now be equally important for the team, whether you clear, invade, gank or control objectives.
 * Base difficulty going up.
 * New jungle camp, tweaked spawn timers, difficulty, items, gold/exp, rewards
 * Jungle itemization that is no longer tied to champion class (there isn't a specific AD item and a specific AP items). The new items can be Enchanted, giving them class-specific stats akin to a late-game item.
 * Each jungle camp now grants an extra reward when you it — such as counter-jungle protection, increased safety while in lane, increased vision control.
 * Armor and Magic Resistance — All items now build from Cloth Armor and Null-Magic Mantle.
 * Health and Mana Regeneration — All items now increase your base regeneration statistic instead of granting a flat amount. This means that regeneration from items will now scale with champion level, as your base regeneration increases. This will not affect bonuses from skills, masteries, runes, etc.

Summoner's Rift

Upcoming

 * ''The following changes have been teased by Riot, but are not yet active on the PBE.


 * Champion Update Schedule
 * Riot will no longer be issuing complimentary refunds on recent purchases that receive significant visual or gameplay changes. Instead, they are now disclosing which champions are set to receive significant changes and are advising players to reconsider their purchases .


 * - Gameplay update (Fiora was replaced on the list by Viktor; it is currently unknown if this is because she's no longer "soon" or simply that Viktor was sooner).


 * Refer A Friend
 * Botting has become a serious issue for new players and it's largely the RAF program that enables it with it's massive IP/RP generation (which itself leads to real-world trading problem, as the referral-holder accounts are usually sold). At the moment, 70% of accounts with 10 or more friend referrals have made use of bots; and 99% of accounts with 100 or more referrals have made use of bots. The skin rewards are also becoming infeasible for players to obtain honestly - so we're overhauling the system.


 * Each friend who reaches level 10 will grant 1000 IP, up to 5 friends (with no rewards thereafter).
 * 3 referrals will award.
 * 5 referrals will award.
 * All players on the current system (25 referrals for Warwick and 50 for Twitch) will be upgraded automatically and rewards will be back-dated (i.e. if you already have 5 referrals you'll instantly get all rewards).
 * Players on the original system will not be upgraded automatically (the one where you get a trip to Riot with tens of thousands of friend referrals).
