Riot will look to further polish the “Ultimate Spellbook” game mode for 11.14 as changes hit the League of Legends PBE

The “Ultimate Spellbook” game mode is highly anticipated by the League of Legends community, and it’s one of the bigger highlights in the upcoming Sentinels of Light event.

The new game mode will be out with League of Legends patch 11.14. It will allow players to do some really fun things as it introduces the Spellbook rune mechanic into the mode but for ultimates.

Apart from their usual champions ultimates, League of Legends players will have access to a pool of 39 additional ultimates. However, the choice of ultimate they pick will be random.

The game mode will be coming with the Ruination theme as well, and Summoner’s Rift will be shrouded in black fog to celebrate the Sentinels of Light event.

The League of Legends devs are looking to bring in a lot of tweaks to the game mode in the PBE to help smoothen it out and polish it further.

Here is the list of changes to the League of Legends PBE as mentioned by Summoner@20.

League of Legends Ultimate Spellbook game mode changes in PBE

No bans for this release, at a minimum. Bans tend to detract more than they add for temporary modes since so many people play to just to get an opportunity to try out their main champ with the big cool fun thing.We may revisit in the future, but never for brand new modes.
