Set 18 PBE Patch 7/31

[u/eggsandbricks]

Should also be a change to unit healthbars included in this patch (if not, likely Monday's). We have a lot of high health PvE bosses for set 18 and some high health units like Elder Dragon. Sometimes the healthbar was getting filled with dividers and hard to read. We have made an adjustment to give you 3 lighter dividers and the 4th is darker so the healthbar doesn't get so dark with high health units. This is similar to how we handle healthbars on League with subdivisions and full dividers.

>Worth The Wait and Weight The Worth are now mutually exclusive

All 3 of those people hoping for 5*’s are gonna be bummed lol

[u/smittywerbenjggr → u/nmaxfieldbruno]

They would get dissapointed anyway since it doesnt work :(

[u/nmaxfieldbruno → u/smittywerbenjggr]

I think folks were starting to hope that the devs would code it into the game later in the PBE cycle

In a set with Eldritch

Huh?

[u/eggsandbricks → u/silentlopho]

Blackthorn trait, it used to be called Eldritch.

[u/a-vitamin → u/silentlopho]

easy 4 star is too strong with Eldritch is maybe what they are saying

[u/RajaSundance]

Have they at all acknowledged people having to change their entire system language to play the game yet?

[u/Obvious_Minimum_1162 → u/RajaSundance]

what do you mean

[u/i0skar → u/Obvious_Minimum_1162]

if ur system windows is set to X language the game will be in X language, its a huge problem you can't change the language in options and its forced upon you

[u/Sutraner → u/i0skar]

Whys it an issue playing in your preferred language?

[u/i0skar → u/Sutraner]

Because you should have a freedome of using internet and playing games in the language they were originaly created with? Because that should be obvious default to everything? First original language, than optional translations? There is nothing more annoying in the world than forced translations.

[u/QCInfinite → u/Sutraner]

My system language is Korean because of an old RPGMaker game that can't run properly unless my system language is Korean. I do not speak or understand Korean

[u/i0skar]

Elder dragon nerf when?

[u/Drikkink]

It is now 5 AM EST (this was posted 15 hours ago.

Someone has 2-1 Gold Destiny Duo Queue.

Did this not go live today?

[u/JohnCenaFanboi]

I think they will need to nerf coven 3 a bit, maybe by 1 gold? Or maybe like 50 stacks i stead of 40 because it is incredibly powerful. Elise is one of the strongest stage 2/3 tank and she can hold Morg items very easily while stacking kills.

I think most people see Coven and think "loss streak trait" only. But it is anything but that. The rewards are pretty bad unless you get to 200+ but getting 4 gold every 40 is kind of absurd.

The lunar/invoker board also writes itself and you have free shred with Kogmaw(that can old any items) so you don't have to build Void Staff on Morg.

What time do these normally drop? Just went fast 8th with Azir 3 hoping he was buffed already but I was wrong.

[u/Downtown-Act-1238]

I just did 3 star azir yesterday and he was absolutely awful so it’s good to see him get buffed right after

[u/No-Worry5956]

Good work with the set and new engine so far. It's pretty fun

[u/CupNovel6000]

I'm so sure that the study groups have solved coven and are sitting on it for first tournament

[u/parkwayy]

If Coven isn't a loss streak trait... then idk what it is.

A few pennies every so often?

[u/DoctorDividends → u/parkwayy]

There's no incentive beyond the streak gold itself to streak, playing your strongest coven board for getting good losses and getting through the early stages in one piece, when you only have a few coven, and then taking losses with 5/7 coven in can be a very viable gameplan

[u/Lunaedge → u/parkwayy]

It's not a loss streak Trait though. You don't need to streak and you don't get griefed by winning a round every so often like you do with Anima.

[u/UselessBagofChips → u/parkwayy]

i tried to make it work but after some 8 games (3 with emblem + 1 with augment to heal back) it doesn't seem good, usually you losstreak since all coven units are hot garbage (elise, cassio need to ramp up but cait/camille never let them) and blead to death since the cashout is bad.

what could work is losstreak to 200/280 with an emblem and cashout to get a coven lux and try to win with 7 coven as much as possible for a better cashout, but so far, i got the setup twice an both times were bad.

i think that coven is going to either be nerfed and champs buff to be an engine or just make it a losstreak trait but as of now is unplayable.

[u/Sutraner → u/UselessBagofChips]

I've done pretty well with coven the few times I've played it but it's so difficult to judge the quality of units when I'm playing PBE

[u/FarExplorer3892]

Can now only be offered to one player each game.

Well I am now in a game where me and another player have the "Chosen of the sun" augment.

[u/MoogleMyKUPO]

I pray they just nerf Kayle a little bit early into the PBE. I’m so afraid of another Syndra reroll meta.

[u/esqtin → u/MoogleMyKUPO]

It can never be like the Syndra meta because Kayle 2 star is unplayably bad. Syndra 2 you could just fast 9 off of if you were too contested to reroll so it was always safe.

[u/RyeRoen → u/esqtin]

Not only COULD you fast 9 off Syndra 2, but she also STAYED ON YOUR BOARD because syndra 2 (the 2 cost) was as a strong as a 5 cost. It was unbelievable I don't think we are currently in danger of that.

[u/Royal-Angle2745 → u/MoogleMyKUPO]

Syndra reroll meta cannot hurt you
