11/26 PBE Update: New Splashes for Brand & Morde and more!

Posted on at 7:00 PM by Moobeat
After a long weekend of silence, the PBE has been updated!
Continue reading for the latest batch of PBE content, including new splash arts for Brand and Morde, new particles on Eternum Nocturne, more updates to the scoreboard, and a few balance changes. Strangely, Nidalee's models have also been reverted back to the same models that are on live servers.

( REMEMBER: All of the content on the PBE is tentative and subject to change. )

New Splash Arts
While we still don't have any Nidalee or Nami splash arts, this patch treated us to brand new default splashes for both Brand and Mordekaiser.

Brand

Mordekaiser
Jack of Hearts Twisted Fate's splash art got a small alteration, changing the spade on the top of his hat into a heart. Other than that, it remains the same splash art as live.
Full PBE version of the splash art available here.

Eternum Nocturne Particles
This upcoming legendary skin got some additional particles added on to his ultimate. He now has a swirling little black hole-y particle before he jumps.


UI Changes
The scoreboard now has color indicators to better separate teams and is slightly transparent.

Mastery Changes
There was also a slight change to the new masteries in this patch as Vampirism and and Strength of Spirit have switched places. Not sure if this is intentional as the icons have not changed.



Balance Changes
As expected, a few more balance changes were present in this patch.

 Nidalee Model's reverted
Tucking this down here because I'm not sure if it was an error, some sort of delay, or a response to community dissatisfaction , but Nidalee's models have been reverted from her visual update models to her normal, triangle feet models. I assume this is only temporary and her new models will make a return shortly.

Edit: Here is what's up with Nidalee, compliments of ricklessabandon:
"yes, this is intended. we've finished her pbe testing cycle for now. 
we're going to go through all the feedback and notes we've gathered from this period and see what final changes she'll need. once we're all done, we'll put her back on the pbe (along with updated splash art) for a final round of testing to make sure her debut to live is smooth.
i won't close out this thread in the meantime—everyone is welcome to continue posting/discussing the visual update while we wrap up—we'll continue taking comments here until she ships.

thanks for all of the feedback so far, everyone!"
