Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 26.17. Patch 26.17 brings many balancing changes to League Classic, new Ocean Song skins, and Seraphine's second Legendary!
These changes appeared on PBE on the 12th of August, 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
Summer is not quite over yet! Two Epic new Ocean Song skins were added to PBE and are coming to the live servers: Ocean Song Jinx and Ocean Song Soraka. These skins are joining the 2022 Ocean Song line-up, which includes Ashe, Nidalee, Seraphine, Yone, and Zeri. Speaking of Seraphine, The Starry-Eyed Songstress is also getting a new skin on Wednsesday, her second Legendary skin, Heartsong Seraphine. You can acquire Heartsong Seraphine for 1820 RP, while the new Ocean Song skins will be 1350 RP.
