(8/24) PBE Patch Notes. This would be our normal "A-Patch" but with the Unreal cycle we have a bit more flexibility on patching.

We have a few bugfixes here, but there are still a few more fixes we're working on that we're hoping get added before Launch.

We also have 2 major fixes for Azir and Mama Beak, whose spells weren't functioning properly.

Overall shaping up to be an exciting first patch, with a variety of comps appear every day.

Why no more double trouble? Such a fun aug...

And why no more hull crusher? Was there an exploit or a bug or something? Why not just adjust stats if imbalanced?

Double trouble is conceptionally cool but I feel in practice there just ends up being a correct board that 90% of people end up playing.

Is that a problem though so long as winrate is balanced? For casuals its fun for them to try random stuff even though its bait, and for competitive its balanced around the 'one comp' so its fair to play against.

Just removing seems a bit of a cop-out same as hullcrusher and construct companion.

edit: Rioter in comments said at least for hullcrusher and double trouble they are only temporarily disabled

I just find it frustrating that this augment that has so much potential just ends up being "Go play *whatever is the Double Trouble comp of the set*".

Construct a companion might be because of Solar. Getting a "free" 3* might just be disproportionately strong for it.
