7-12 PBE: Zyra and New Skins for Cass, Dr. Mundo, and Lee Sin

The PBE has been updated and is now available for testing! It's chocked full of goodies, including Zyra, new skins for Mundo, Cass, and Lee Sin, the Evelynn, Twitch, and Xin Zhao ability updates, a few "quality of life" improvements, and some new splash arts!
First up we have Zyra! Below are the splashes and model of our  and her accompanying launch skin, Wildfire Zyra.

Here are some quick in game caps of Zyra's abilities and  her ratios
You can also check out this video recap of her abilities:
We also have new skins for Cassiopeia, Dr. Mundo, and Lee Sin . Check out their splash arts, screen caps of their models, and teaser videos for them below. As always, remember these skins  and their particles / animations may not be final! Ricklessabandon has even mentioned that the Cass skin ( as well as her others!! ) is going to have particles that are not yet implemented.

A big nod to Slushe, a friendly redditor who always digs these out of the new PBE ASAP, for the new splash arts and model shots!


One of the most exciting things about this PBE patch is ALL THE ABILITY REMAKES! This patch includes new or updated kits for the Twitch, Evelynn, and Xin Zhao.

An example of how Eve's new stealth works - a faint line shows your "visible" range and yellow and red icons alert you of enemies who are about to reveal you.

It's hard to judge from this picture, but this is the knock back distance on his new ult.

Next up, we have a few "quality of life" changes that have popped up.

The biggest change is the grim reconnect bug seems to be fixed! The bug, for those unknowing of its terror, occurs when you disconnect from a game and reconnect and makes it so minions are permanently stuck on screen, despite having been killed. It makes it really hard to last hit and play with those "fake" minions sticking around and this bug has widely been regarded as one of the longest running bugs in the history of LoL. Join in on the celebration of it's demise over on reddit!

Hand in hand with the above, there is also a new Reconnect UI for when you disconnect from a game.

Items that generate gold every 10 seconds, such as Heart of Gold or Kage's Lucky Pick, now display how much gold they have generated total!

It's not really new, but the match making AFK detection stuff is in this patch ( as it was in the last PBE update ). Just from my brief experience using it tonight, it has done wonders for speeding up the time it takes to get into a game.

The first screen pops up and after accept ( or decline ) you get second pop up showing results.

 Jayce's lore has also been updated, in client, to reflect the changes posted a few days ago.

One of the most heart tugging changes to hit League of Legends has been silently snuck into the game files. While back Riot held a sale on Jax and the Jaximus skin sold to benefit Make-a-Wish foundation. This sale was stirred by a visit from Joe, a passionate summoner who's Make-A-Wish request was to visit Riot games. His favorite champion was Jax and in memoriam of Joe, who unfortunately passed away a last month, the Jaximus skin now includes a special sound file.
He will now say "Here's to you, kid" as one of his on move quotes.

Speaking of Jax , he and Corki are also receiving updates to their default arts.
