Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 26.16. Patch 26.16 aims to tackle the roaming support and mage bot lane problems, and brings three new Faerie Court skins!
These changes appeared on PBE on the 29th of July, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics
Three faeries are joining the Faerie Court in Patch 26.16: Faerie Court Bel'Veth, Faerie Court Lulu, and Faerie Court Gwen. All three skins are Epic-tiered, coming with a unique splash, sound and visual effects, and recall, but no new model or additional voice lines. All three skins come with up to eight Chroma options, at 290 apiece.

System Changes
Role Quest
The support role quest is being adjusted to nerf a support's ability to leave lane at level 3 and not get penalised because of the way that XP catch-up currently works. Aside from these role quest adjustments, a couple of nerfs were given to Poppy and Camille as well as Hail of Blades to try and fix the issue.
Support Role Quest changes:
– World Atlas points on damaging champions or turrets reduced to 18 for all range types from 22 for melee and 20 for ranged.
– World Atlas points on using Shared Riches on a minion increased to 18 from 15.
– Runic Compass points on damaging champions or turrets changed to 21 for all range types from 24 for melee and 22 for ranged.
– Runic Compass points on using Shared Riches on a minion increased to 21 from 20.
