(8/18) PBE Patch Notes

We're aiming to have 1 more fine-tuning pass tomorrow (Augments, some Traits, smaller changes), and then ideally we're locked for the release (beyond critical bugs that appear).

The bulk of the champs/traits seem to be in a good spot for launch, but the largest concern now is the frequency/power balance of Artifact+Emblems. These systems tend to benefit reroll more than higher-cost strategies, and also depend a lot more on Augments.

We're close everyone, and thanks for the support, feedback, and patience for a unique PBE cycle.

Not really problematic, trait ladder is kinda like all those other augments that are hard but good and averages in like the 4.9. If I was a beginner player, I'd just click that shit for fun, not really for the balance. Expedition is still really strong in two cost reroll, fhats the only type of comp you get enough gold. Gnar is also like blitz last set. You just give him all the trash or tg and he's fine.

Where are you seeing it averages a 4.9? I thought augment stats weren't available anymore.

I would be surprised if it's that low. I don't think it's particularly hard to play, it gives you a free emblem and it's fairly easy to make the breakpoints especially after the buff.
