We're less than a day away from the official launch of Into the Arcane! HYPE!!
Thank you to everyone who helped test on this shortened PBE period. If you haven't, I'm excited for you to get your hands on it. Set is a banger! If you have, we're making one last batch of changes before it goes live. You can see those here.
While the quantity of changes is large, its mostly a lot of very tiny 5% or less adjustments. The outliers from PBE were Darius/Draven at 1 cost, GP(R)/Kog/Scar at 3 cost, and Sevika at 5 cost. Other than those, champs all looked within range, we're just tightening up the ranges. Traits were all in expected values, just some minor adjustments.
Anomaly buffs were shockingly close, though we found PBE players gravitated to very safe or known choices. Some of the strongest choices were some of the least picked, so it will take a while for folks to optimize this system. We expect this to be the space where something undiscovered may appear. We did fix a key bug with Kog and One Thousand Cuts though!
And then there are augments. So many new augments, so lots of adjustments. We had to disable a few that were either too strong and no good levers (Table Scraps) or a bit too buggy/risky for the day 1 launch (Hall of Mirrors RIP).
So there ya go. Pretty hyped for tomorrow. I took the day off to do my Hyper Roll grind, and I'll be watching folks play all day. Enjoy the set launch, and take it easy :)
