Posted on at 6:48 PM by Moobeat
A small update was just applied to the PBE, adding in updated splash arts for both Vladimir &Kassadin and a Co-Op Vs Ai feature for the new Twisted Treeline!
Continue reading to catch a peek at the shiny new splash arts, see the latest balance changes, and more!

New Splash Art
This is the patch that just keeps on giving! While I expected to see new splashes for a few of the skins that didn't have completed art yet, I certainly didn't expect completely new splash art for Vladimir and Kassadin to pop up.

Balance Changes
This small patch also included a batch of changes for some of the new TT exclusive items and Elise.

NOTE: The changes ARE live but the display isn't working. For example, if you purchase Hextech Sweeper you'll notice it says it still gives +40 AP but it actually will only give you 25 ( additional note, I have 5 bonus AP in that screen shot, whoops! ).

Elise
  • Volatile Spiderling AP ratio increased to .8 from .7
  • Volatile Spiderling Mana cost changed to 65/70/75/80/85 from 75.

Items
Hextech Sweeper
  • AP reduced to 25 from 40
Lord Van Damm's Pillager
  • Spell vamp reduced to 10% from 15%

Soulsight Lantern
  • Attack damage increased to 25 from 23.
  • Lifesteal reduced to 0% from 12%
  • Bonus magic damage proc reduced to 300 damage from 425.
Wooglet's Witchcap
  • AP increased to 100 from 80.

edit: Co-op VS Ai support was also added for the new TT in this patch!
Additionally, there is now a brand new Veigar bot!  More details can be found here.


There also a  new "did you know" dialogue that pops up when you load into a game.
