    Last PBE is being pushed tonight. New PBE is up.

    Hazmat Heimerdinger:

    "Hazmat Heimerdinger is suited up and ready to take on any dangerous PBE substances!
    Armed with a Geiger counter and a flask of mysterious goo, Heimer's ready to wreak some havoc on the Fields of Justice! Check out what he's got!
    A new suit and gas mask!
    New ability models and particles (turrets, rockets and grenades!)
    A new recall (relaxing on his lawn chair with his mechanical arm buddy!)
    Note: A couple new sounds are not quite in just yet!
    As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on Hazmat Heimer's new skin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]
    See you on the Rift!"

    Those Maokai changes are interesting, but they require understanding what they want Maokai to do now (tank fighter, not to dive the back line). I don't really know if that kind of role is needed though.

    I'm wondering if it gives you timers of the other side once you see that it's not there or if it starts the clock from 6 or shows an NA or something.

    I'm guessing it's similar to how the map icons work - if you see it die you'll see the icon appear when it respawns, else the icons are always up until you see it. So in essence it'll probably be 0:00 until you witness the death.

    Only if you see the mob die. If you see the empty camp, the pop is only indicated on your mini-map as normal.

    Doom bots added to the PBE

    "Heya everyone!
    Our next featured game mode, the Doom Bots of Doom is now live and loose on PBE! Try them out and let us know what you think! We’re keen to get feedback from you guys.
    There are three different levels (of doom) for you to challenge. When facing 2 & 5 bomb difficulties, the bots have additional ‘Bonus Doom’ buffs, inspired by the doomed abilities of other champions:
    1 Bomb – Our Doom Bots have been doomed with powerful mutations to their abilities.
    2 Bombs – Congratulations! You’ve unlocked Bonus Doom! On each death, the bots will randomise a new Bonus Doom.
    5 Bombs – Good luck. ^_^
    As an aside, the Doom Bots (much like all our other bots) do not cheat with vision. They can only see what a normal player can given their ward coverage, minion waves, abilities (doomed or otherwise), etc.
    Known issues:
    -Some sounds and VO surrounding doomed abilities might not be playing. We’re working on these.
    Let us know if you guys run into any issues (particularly with the 2 & 5 Bomb difficulties) and tell us about your games! There are 15 Doom Bots in total, so we wanna know, which team compositions are the hardest? Which Bonus Doom combos the best on which bots? Who is the hardest champion you’ve beaten them with? Let us hear your magical feedback!"

    Lets just say the Doom bots can do crazy shit. Side note: The summoner's rift for Doom bots is darker, more purple and has the sunlight positioning much lower to cast more shadows. It looks awesome. Seriously, at the harder levels there are random ass things like Hecarim ults even when Hecarim isn't on the team and Garen popping out of bushes.

    There are 15 Bots total, each with DOOM versions of their abilities.

    Amumu, Annie, Blitz, Cho 'Gath, Ezreal, Fiddlesticks, Galio, Karthus, Lux, Malzahar, Morgana,Wukong, Veigar, Ziggs, Zyra

    On 2 star and up, each bot can also get one or multiple "Bonus Dooms". These are extra abilities ( typically passive ) from another pool of champions, including having Swain's R's Raven drain permanently on, gaining Anivia's rebirth, having Garen's randomly pop out of any brush, leaving a constant Shyvana W trail, stealthing from Eve, laying down froze zones, limiting vision a la Nocturne, and so many more!

    Sona Rework

    "Hey all!
    Sona is getting an update to help her player satisfaction and drastically improve the clarity of what she does. This update is also going to be an experiment for development, where Sona is going to be getting to PBE much earlier in her development, meaning that we have a longer time to get your feedback and react to it. This means that feedback is going to be even more valuable for us than usual. Everything you all have is welcome, but there are a few points where we really want to hear from you:
    Are the effects of Sona’s spells more clear?
    Did you have difficulty using your auras to give allies your buffs?
    Did this become easier late game/during team fighting?
    Did you feel more able to support or save your allies?
    Did you feel more able to survive all-ins during laning?
    Did your spell casts feel more impactful?
    Did you notice any bugs?
    What items did you build?
    What items felt very powerful?
    What items felt less effective?
    Were Sona’s spell effects more enjoyable?
    Were Sona’s spell effects easier to understand?
    Really looking forward to hearing from everyone!
    Full Changelist below:
    Passive - Power Chord:
    Q Powerchord amplification down from +100% damage to +50% damage
    Q - Hymn of Valor
    Creates a 300 unit aura that lasts for 3 seconds.
    Sona and allies touched by the aura get 40/50/60/70/80 (+0.25 AP) bonus magic damage on their next auto attack. Buff lasts 3 seconds
    Each ally Sona tags with the aura increases the duration of the aura by 0.5 seconds
    Cooldown increased to 10 seconds from 7 seconds
    No longer grants persistent AP and AD aura
    Mana cost increased by 5 at all ranks (50/55/60/65/70)
    W - Aria of Perseverance
    Initial cast heals Sona plus the lowest health nearby ally for 25/50/75/100/125 (+ 0.25 AP) heath. This heal is increased by 1% for each 1% missing health of the target.
    Creates a 300 unit aura that lasts for 3 seconds.
    Sona and her allies touched by the aura get a shield that blocks 40/60/80/100/120 (+0.2 AP) damage.
    Each ally Sona tags with the aura increases the duration of the aura by 0.5 seconds
    Cooldown increased to 10 seconds from 7 seconds
    No longer grants persistent MR and Armor aura
    Mana cost increased by 5 at all ranks (65/70/75/80/85)
    E - Song of Celerity
    Initial cast grants Sona a boost of 13%/14%/15%/16%/17% + (7.5% for every 100 AP) move speed. This decays down to the amount Sona grants to her allies.
    Creates a 300 unit aura that lasts for 3 seconds
    Grants allies touched by the aura 10%/11%/12%/13%/14% move speed for 1.5 seconds.
    Each ally Sona tags with the aura increases the duration of the aura by 0.5 seconds
    Cooldown increased to 10 seconds from 7 seconds
    No longer grants persistent move speed aura
    No longer grants allies % move speed on cast
    R - Crescendo
    Ranking up Crescendo increases the strength of Sona’s auras
    +10/20/30 magic damage for Hymn of Valor
    +10/20/30 extra shield for Aria of Perseverance
    +2%/4%/6% move speed for Song of Celerity
    Crescendo has new VFX that more accurately show the affected area of the spell
    Known Issues
    Due to Sona being an an earlier stage of development, it is highly recommended to use her base skin. Other skins may not have all their audio and visual effects playing correctly.
    Sona’s Q aura bonus trail particles do not apply to certain enhanced auto attacks (Draven’s axes, Caitlyn Headshots, etc.)
    Sona’s updated Audio and Visual Effects are still works in progress. These will be getting more polish over the days and weeks to come.
    Sona's information in the client is not up to date with these changes
    Sona bot is going to be really dumb until we can tell her about her new tricks"

    Apparently, you can't beat them by fighting at the higher levels, so you just split push to win. It's actually not well designed.

    Yeah, attack range nerfs are never a good idea on ADCs. I especially don't like this change because we haven't seen the full effects of the itemization changes yet (which are already starting to marginalize Lucian).
