SPLASH ART
Annie’s splash art had an edge that quite didn’t go there. It’s now been fixed.
GAME MODES
Nemesis Draft
The new draft mode allows you to pick the champs you want the enemy team to play. More details from L4T3NCY below.
Hi everyone!
Our first Featured Game Mode for the year, “Nemesis Draft”, is on its way to the PBE. This time around, you’ll be choosing the champions for the enemy team, then making the champs you’ve been given work in battle on the Summoner’s Rift. Let the ‘creative’ comps begin. :)
Some notes:
— Nemesis Draft is a 5v5 featured game mode played on Summoner’s Rift.
— Nemesis Draft allows each player to choose 1 champion for the enemy team for a total of 5 per team.
— Each team will still get 3 bans. Do you bans champs do DON’T want to play, or leave them up to give to the other team? It’s up to you. :)
— Available champions for you to give the other team are allowed from the collective pool of champs on your allied team.
— There is a free trading period after all champs have been locked in, allowing you to organise amongst your team who would be best playing which champs. Even if you don’t own a champion, you’ll still be able to trade and play anyone you’re given.Known issues:
Play flow artwork is still a placeholder.Nemesis Draft will be live on the PBE soon™. We’ve paid special attention to the champion select phase this time, to make the picking & trading phases as clear as possible, so feedback on that flow will be welcome. Also “Thanks!” again to you PBE guys that always help us catch things early. Even if we can’t respond to every bug or report individually, we do read EVERYTHING and fix as much as possible.
SO.. we’re excited to see how scheming & creative you guys are. Are we about to uncover some diamonds in the rough? Will it be, “Give them all melee champs!” or “Give them all AD so we can just build armour!”. And then the inevitable, “Ok guys. We’ve got 4 junglers and a support.. but so do they! Let’s do this.” I can’t wait. :)
See you on the Rift. ^_^
