14.14 PBE Patch 25/06/2024 - JungleDiff - PBE Coverage (2024)

Aurora, the Witch between Worlds, is hopping across the veil and making her entrance to the Rift. She is available to play now on PBE so please try her out and leave any feedback, bugs, issues, and comments here in this thread.

Aurora’s launch skin is Battle Bunny and any thoughts on the art or visuals for both her base and launch skin are also appreciated.

She’ll be on PBE for a little longer than usual as Riot’s Summer Break will extend the current patch by a week, but she’ll be on live soon in 14.14! I’ll provide updates on things we’ve fixed / adjusted, etc. in this thread, but keep in mind we’ll be away for a week.

We’re still finishing up some bugfixing, but I wanted to call out that sometimes the R won’t immediately show up for enemies if they don’t have vision – that’s a bug that we’re planning on fixing in the next day or so.

Hello everyone! Riot Ducké here, QA Lead for Modes

Our new PVE mode – Swarm: Operation Anima Squad opens up today on PBE!

Brave the Swarm

Swarm is a bullet heaven survivor game set in the Anima Squad universe. In it, players will experience some of their favorite League champions in a completely new way. A chill, co-op PVE game mode, Swarm allows you and up to three friends to battle waves upon waves of Primordians and some terrifying bosses. Whether you’re victorious or swept away by the masses of Primordians, each run will grant you progress to power up and return to Final City stronger for another go.

Features:

• Get a Move on: WASD controls are used to move your Champion around the maps

• Queue up Solo or with friends!: SWARM can be played by yourself or with a party of up to 4 players

• Explore Final City: 4 maps will be available for SWARM

• Play more, Progress More: Unlock power ups, champions, maps and much more as you progress through SWARM.

——————–

Special message from H28_G_Evo, the Engineering Lead on Modes:

Performance is something we are extremely mindful of with Swarm. We want every player, no matter their hardware spec, to have a great experience playing Swarm and in order to do that we need as much data as possible during this PBE cycle. Please report any performance issues you have with as much information as possible.

We categorize performance issues as:

• Average framerates below 30fps for noticeable periods of time.

• Noticeable lags/stutters/lock ups occurring during gameplay (not during scripted sequences like transitions in boss fights)

Please include in your reports as much of the following as possible:

• Game Resolution (1920*1080, 1024*768, etc)

• Game Video Preset (Low, High, etc)

• Hardware (CPU model, GPU model, Amount of System Memory)

• Game Id (Can be found and copied by clicking on Game ID on the End of Game screen post your Swarm game)

• Ping (in MS, rough average value)

Note on Ping: We have verified that Swarm plays best at under 100ms ping, if you have ping above 100ms you may run into issues, especially related to champion movement. We understand this is more of an issue with PBE than live, but wanted to make sure we set expectations for players.

——————–

We are specifically looking for feedback & issues encountered related to:

• Champion and Weapon power. Do any Champions or Weapons feel particularly strong or weak?

• Passives (Stats) Power: Do any Passives feel particularly strong or weak?

• Waves: How does wave pacing feel on each map

• Maps: Collision and pathfinding around the different maps

• Any Desync issues you may experience (keep in mind Riot H28_G_Evo note on Ping above!)

Feedback is not just limited to the above! Please let us know if you have any other feedback about the mode or if you experience any bugs!

See you in Final City!
