(8/19) "Final" PBE Patch notes. Smaller one today, with small buffs and Augment adjustments. The meta's been pretty stable the last week, so we're not overreacting to yesterday's medium-sized patch.
As with every Set, we'll re-evaluate early next week to see if anything warrants a last-second balance change to make sure the launch patch is the best it can be.
(8/18) PBE Patch Notes
We're aiming to have 1 more fine-tuning pass tomorrow (Augments, some Traits, smaller changes), and then ideally we're locked for the release (beyond critical bugs that appear).
The bulk of the champs/traits seem to be in a good spot for launch, but the largest concern now is the frequency/power balance of Artifact+Emblems. These systems tend to benefit reroll more than higher-cost strategies, and also depend a lot more on Augments.
We're close everyone, and thanks for the support, feedback, and patience for a unique PBE cycle.
