Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 26.18. Patch 26.18 brings the new Hall of Legends Pass honouring G2 Esports' legendary mid laner Caps, and several champion adjustments.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 26th 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
Patch 26.18 is bringing forth the new Hall of Legends Pass and three skins along with it. This year's inductee is Rasmus "Caps" Winther, who has been LEC's G2 Esports' mid laner for the past seven years. Caps has chosen Orianna and Tristana to receive skins, so you'll be able to acquire Risen Legend Orianna, Risen Legend Tristana, and Immortalized Legend Tristana starting this week.
Unlike the previous Hall of Legends skins which celebrated Faker and Uzi, Caps' Hall of Legends skins are not flying crimson and gold colours. The Pass and Pass skins are more chromatic with silvers, blues, and purples. You can acquire the Epic-tiered Risen Legend Orianna by purchasing the base Pass for 1950 RP, and the Legendary Risen Legend Tristana for 5035 RP. To learn more about the different possible Hall of Legends bundles, you can skin through our Hall of Legends 2026 Overview article.
