VPBE

 Latest PBE Patch: February 12th.

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.

New Skins in the Store The following skins have been added to the store:
 * "RengarSkin3" has appeared in the game files

PVP.net
 * 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 unmranked).
 * New featured game mode - Hexakill. Classic Summoner's Rift with 6 players per team.

 * General
 * Bug Fix: Skills/items should no longer go off in the transition between one crowd control effect if their durations overlap (i.e. chained). This is a fairly long-standing bug, but became particularly noticeable on Yasuo's release as it severely handicaps him (with people using Zhonya's between the knock-up and his ult despite the fact there is no break in the CC).


 * Rune Overhaul
 * 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.

 * Now only available on Dominion.


 * Percentage Penetration
 * It's hoped that percentage penetration will be changed to only interact with bonus armor/MR.


 * 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.
