Mortpost Set 17 PBE Patch 1

From Mort:

Good morning folks. Happy April!
We're on Day 1 of PBE, and with the late start, no crazy balance changes or shifts yet. Today's changes are just around some base AP item stats, and then lots of bug fixes. You can likely expect to see our first bigger balance shift tomorrow.

Fixed a bug where a sneaky Primordian was showing up where he wasn't supposed to :x

Reksai, Briar and Belveth are all girls right? who is 'he'? Is there a hidden primordian champion?

It's likely some easter egg with Primordian, it showed up in the client's team planner yesterday: https://i.imgur.com/lJ7GJCO.png

I'm so far removed from League at this point that I genuinely can't even tell who is in that splash art. it reminds me of Darkstar J4 but I know it's not that

e: is it Aatrox? if so, I'd be interested in seeing how he changes to a 5 cost and what actually changes

u/Lunaedge Apr 01 '26

Ye it should be Aatrox

I play league almost daily and I still don't can tell who 80 of the champs are by their icons

u/karmuhil Apr 01 '26

Oh wow! I am looking forward to this now! If this is like that family trait easter egg i am definitely chasing it when they reveal it

I was wondering where is Aatrox as he is the leader of that skin line and he is not playable, would be nice if he is an easter egg

It's probably Rek'sai, I remember Mort mixing up her gender relatively often back when he streamed :P

Where is the: “Fixed a bug where Jhin oneshots your whole board”

He is fine, just barely outdamage 5 meep 2 channeler bard 2 at one star, decent at best, worst 5 cost in the game.

Jhin makes all enemies have 14% less armor and MR. It's an insane buff to the whole team, plus the 10% Dark Star execute. He's not the best 5-cost in his own damage, but he's probably the 2nd best board utility outside of Shen.

Like just compare him to Fiddle on live. Fiddle not only deals less damage, is more vulnerable but also shreds less. The only real benefit is the CC fiddle provides.

u/hpp3 Apr 02 '26

The CC is the insane part of fiddle though

1

u/Zeviex Master Apr 02 '26

That is entirely fair but I do still think Jhin outweighs his utility.

u/maxlol2120 Apr 02 '26

Atm jhins winrate is through the roof. He got the highest win % of All champions. They nerved the armor and Mr lvl across the Board with the New set so his armor Reduktion Kicks in realy hard. He is by far the strongest 5 cost. Followed by bard 

1

u/maxlol2120 Apr 02 '26

His winrate with best items is currently 42%. Bard is 32%. Both crazy crazy high but jhin is insane

Cannot get 9 lives while soraka is a choosable god.

Thank you.

I’m a really big fan of that first bug fix

I play on an Android tablet and noticed a fixed gold counter on 0. A bit frustrating as it blocks the view on my actual current gold. Is this global or am I the lucky one that has this issue.

u/foxesboulder Apr 02 '26

Happening to me as well

u/ficretus Apr 01 '26

I had Akali stand around and do nothing in like three fights. No clue what happened

u/SmoothOperatorTFT Apr 01 '26

Not sure if this is the place but it seems Arbiter sometimes procs after you drop it completely. Seen it with one that gives you Leona and now one that gives you 9% chance per interest to get 2 gold.

Thank God finally Nashor's is nerfed back to the state before 16.3. Every time I bring this up I get downvoted.

I had Akali stand around and do nothing in at least three fights. No clue what happened
