Context & Notes

1) KateyKhaos noted the feedback threads for the skins on the PBE this cycle would be the last on the boards:

“We will have the 10.6 skins feedback threads on the PBE boards as one final farewell, and again, will be announcing a new spot for feedback soon! (:”

2) Riot Scruffynoted the Twisted Fate changes had been pushed from 10.5 into 10.6:

“Twisted Fate changes needed to be pushed from 10.5 to 10.6 to deal with some additional tech/localization work of modifying the cards separately. It’s still coming, just a bit later.”

3) Riot Augustprovided an update on the Wukong rework:

“Good news and bad news 

Good: The Wukong kit you’ve seen on PBE is LOCKED. You can expect it to ship as is (minus numbers tuning/balance adjustments). 

Bad: The target patch is 10.6 BUT I just got slapped with jury duty this coming week. Hopefully we can get bugs fixed in time.”
