Recent PBE changes continue to tweak Energized items in League of Legends

Balancing out Energized items has been a huge priority for League of Legends devs in preparation for the 2020 preseason. And yesterday’s Public Beta Environment (PBE) update was no different.

Riot’s focus for the Nov. 11 PBE changes was on adjusting the cost of popular ADC items, like Rapid Firecannon, according to Surrenderat20. While the price adjustment was minimal, Statikk Shiv received a bit of a buff along the way. And the wording on some items was changed to create more clarity and consistency.

Here are the item changes from the Nov. 11 PBE update.

Kircheis Shard

• Total cost lowered from 800 to 700.
