Unofficial PBE Patch Notes for 1/22/2013

IMPORTANT

  • This is PBE. This is where riot tries out various numbers to test and play with. This does not mean it will go live like this!
  • The following is datamined from the TOOLTIPS, this means any changes, are changes made to the tooltips and may not reflect abilities that have values that don't match their tooltips
  • -Riot may not always fully update a tooltip, PLEASE do not rage about changes, take these as a basic idea of what to go test on the PBE!
  • "Remember, PBE are not patch notes!" ~ @RiotMorello! 

 Interesting Note: This is the game client that was missing from yesterday's patch. The only change in it is that of Thresh. Other changes are most likely not live ingame yet.

    Is it just me or is an AoE allie shield sound kinda too good?

    I kind of like Thresh's gameplay of "a ranged champ you actually don't want to get close to." If you try to initiate on him, he Ults and CC's you forever while shielding himself. If you are able to dodge his hook though, you just have to worry about his auto attack harass.

    all signs point towards thresh releasing tomorrow, i really wonder why this patch even happened. Haha, i dont think 20 extra points in a shield will make or break the champ, nor do i think it will have the chance to be tested long enough to get any data whatsoever.

    Weird that they're buffing him though, his kit looks very strong as it is. like a blitzcrank with more utility and less passive CS stealing.

    Blitz hook is still easier to hit and WAY more rewarding than Thresh hook though. Thresh's hook only really pulls completely if the target is already kinda close, from far away it will barely pull them halfway towards you.

    I'd say the second active that pulls you to them is the strong part, considering you can then cage them in with your ult and bring a friend along with you.

    Thresh's hook doesn't disable thresh while it's going and stuns them for 1.5 seconds. Also, thresh, being ranged, doesn't need to pull them in all the way.
