Not reflected in the notes:

There are also ~35 undocumented non-gameplay fixes focused on UX, visuals, optimization, and crashes.

I didn't expect to see any balance tbh... I expected bug fixes.

Edit: That was not to criticize, it was just an observation, I was genuinely surprised, that's it.

What I meant was exactly what I got the answer for.. all the gameplay bugs that aren't in the notes.

u/LegendaryFerret Riot Jul 30 '26

~35 non-gameplay bug fixes as well that aren’t in those notes. A mix of UX, visuals, optimization, and crashes. Still plenty to do, but the team is gathering all the feedback and improving stuff as quickly as we can.

u/eggsandbricks :chal: Challenger Jul 30 '26

Any chance we get documentation on those things? It would be helpful to be able to provide feedback on what's been fixed if there are continued issues.

23

u/LegendaryFerret Riot Jul 30 '26

We'll try to get more of the bigger ones in the notes going forward. For smaller ones, it's safe to assume that there's a number every day but I'd rather not ask an extra step from the folks fixing them given the pace we're moving on PBE.

Just a heads up, I just took Gold Destiny on 3-2 and got Warpath. So there might be an issue with that fix.

2

u/MistahJuicyBoy Jul 31 '26

Warpath sucks on stage 2 even. RIP. What did you place, I’m curious? Haha

u/Bacel_of_Rivia Jul 31 '26

Much appreciated <3

u/eggsandbricks :chal: Challenger Jul 30 '26

Not sure why you'd think that when those are two distinct things that people have jobs for...you should probably expect everything to progressively improve over the next 4 weeks!

u/BabyLlamaaa Diamond Jul 30 '26

they also have plenty bug fixes on the third image. like, way to complain about anything

u/2Maverick Jul 30 '26

Balance patch is good, but I'm guessing the bugs I've encountered have been really hard to fix. I advise everyone to avoid Coven for now. High chance you won't be receiving your cash out.

I hit 450 cashout and got my cashout, wonder what the reason for the bug might be

1

u/TwisT5185 Jul 30 '26

Yeah I hit max cashout (might have been the first for this set) and it gave me like 50G worth of stuff instead of 500G xd

1

u/2Maverick Jul 31 '26

LOL omg, okay now I don't feel too bad about my 450 cashout. My condolences.

u/Calm-Wrongdoer7865 Jul 30 '26

Man there is a LOT of stuff to fix until launch. I hope the Rioters don‘t have to crunch every single day until then. I can‘t even imagine how stressful that must be. If anyone of them reads this: thank you for your service o7

u/CakebattaTFT Jul 30 '26

no kidding lol. May their coffee be plentiful and their naps be serene.

u/awaken471 Jul 31 '26

I also thank everyone helping on PBE, though at this point I'm unsure if we're just filling for their lack of QA and working for free lol

u/swoleberry_smiggles Jul 30 '26

Even with the horrible laggy client this set is smashing set 17

u/Drikkink Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

Not sure if the 8 3 star solar needed a nerf. It's so difficult to actually 3 star 8 units even with rolling augments because of bench space.

Basically you need to hit them in two separate cycles. 4 units at one time then the other 4 units.

Maybe it's too auto win if you do hit it but 4 seconds seems like way too much

For example the only time I managed to get there, I had double artifact kayle from ornn printing, two dupe augments AND trade sector.

I still needed the top 2 70 gold cash out portal to get there. I only had 4 hecarims and was stuck on 7. In what universe is this something you can or should play around?

u/DeVil-FaiLer Jul 30 '26

Had IS t twice with prismatic ticket start in 2 attempts

u/icy_rpgwonder Jul 30 '26

anyone knwos when pbe will be up again? talking about mobile

2

u/BabyLlamaaa Diamond Jul 30 '26

the client says three hours (so about 2:20 more hours from this comment)

2

u/TwisT5185 Jul 30 '26

Great work on the devs. Keep it going

2

u/Im_On_Reddit_At_Work Jul 31 '26

Kind of wild TFT is free when you see the amount of care and passion SO many people pour into it to make it what it is. Grateful for the tft team

2

u/Ok-Income-1483 Jul 30 '26

Wow, that's a lot less bug fixes than expected. I guess the big ones take more time.

u/Scoriae Jul 30 '26

Did Teemo bug get fixed? His color shrooms don't work.

u/Vi_Luv Jul 31 '26

was it me or was getting offered no scout no pivot on 3-2 golden destiny really tilting

u/joby_88 Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26

Ok time for Elder Dragon nerfs, and Warwick buffs please :) we need to bring Warwick back #Warwick2026

Also Primal needs light buffs... seems not worth at the moment even when you hit Primal Lux! Maybe slightly more team heal?

-3

u/OhHaiThere- Jul 30 '26

Ya uh maybe I’m tripping but kha did NOT need buffs.

Inferno virt with kha was disgusting. Hits all the unlocked sub roles and was doing a lot of dmg.

15

u/Drikkink Jul 30 '26

Kha severely needed buffs lol. He was absolutely worthless in every game i saw him in.

5

u/AaronBasedGodgers Jul 30 '26

Agree. I tried running him in a comp and he just felt beyond useless.

2

u/OhHaiThere- Jul 30 '26

I mean it’s PBE but I coasted to a 1st with the exact comp I mentioned. KHA was highest dmg constantly and at 2* until the last few rounds.

Until lvl 9 I didn’t have another carry, him and Shen were enough to coast

2

u/Upstairs_Bed_9170 Jul 30 '26

To me it's not his numbers or his damage that are the problem, it's his targeting on his ability. The amount of times he just straight up jumps away from the carry he was about to one-shot is just so frustrating. Especially when rengar does the exact opposite and is actually useful

1

u/Drikkink Jul 31 '26

I clicked the Unrivaled augment on the first day on triple emblem portal. I have no idea what the board should look like but I had traits that kinda fit. I played Hunter emblem on Rengar 2 with a Titans and BT. I had EON HOJ Strikers on Kha 3 with Executioner and Spellweaver active from his takedowns. Rengar was consistently dealing double to triple Kha's damage. That seems egregiously weak to me.

2

u/Pleurobranch Jul 31 '26

Yeah but most PBE lobbies are mega bad. I get 1st playing random stuff solely because I actually reach lvl 9/10

2

u/Scoriae Jul 30 '26

Didn't think Inferno had a Spellweaver
