League of Legends 12/20 PBE Update: Lots of Balance Changes

The PBE has been updated! While there might not be any fancy champions or skins, there is a TON of balance updates!

​

Continue reading to catch a peek the the tentative set of balance changes Riot is currently testing on the PBE, including nerfs for Evelynn, Talon, Ryze, and Riven, buffs for Rengar and Diana, and more! Additionally, check out the new auto attack range indicator, a new buff showing pickpocket's cool down and total gold earned, color for teleport, and an update on some features, from the Vi patch, that didn't make it to live.

( Remember: Anything on the PBE is TENTATIVE and subject to change; they call it a the Public BETA Environment for a reason. Additionally, some PBE info is datamined and may be incomplete.)​

Balance Changes:
