New Summoner Icons
Today's update features a mischievous looking Ziggs summoner icon.
We also have several eSports summoner icons for competitive Brazilian teams:

Blue & Red Health bars
Like Baron and Dragon, Blue Sentinel and Red Brambleback now have larger health bars that show their current HP values.
Context on Nidalee PBE Changes
As you may have noticed, Nidalee received several changes in the 6/23 PBE update only to have them mostly reverted in today's update.Here's Riot Repertoir with context on these recent Nidalee PBE changes, as well as what we can expect to be tested in preparation for 4.11:
"Hey everyone,
Some Nidalee stuff went to PBE today without any word from us as to when/why it would release, so I just wanted to give everyone some details on that.
First, not all of those changes are going to see the Live environment, and many won't be in patch 4.11 either. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with how Nidalee's doing in 4.10 at the moment, but there are a few main issues I will be looking into patching up in the near future. First, she is at the extreme of unreliability when it comes to teamfighting, so I want to give her a bit of help in that department. Second, her power level seems to be particularly high in early laning before it steadily goes down over game time. The changes on PBE today were aimed largely at addressing those issues, but with limited time before we finish our 4.11 patch cycle, we've decided to take on a less aggressive changelist for her.
Here's what you'll see on PBE on 6/23, relative to 4.10:
- Javelin Toss
- Missile width increased to 40 from 30
- Bushwhack
- Cooldown reduced to 13/12/11/10/9 from 17/16/15/14/13
- Damage reduced to 10/12/14/16/18% from 12/14/16/18/20%
- Aspect of the Cougar
I will likely continue to investigate ways to improve her feel and balance her power curve over the next few patches, and that may include things like the 'AP to on-hit damage' and 'Swipe granting defenses' stuff you saw today, but for now we're going to stick to the above changes to test for 4.11. She's a hard character to pick up and master, so we don't want to overreact to early performance data that suggests she's dramatically on the weak side, since I think most of us (player and developer alike) get the feeling that's not completely true.
- Triggering a Hunt resets the cooldown of Aspect of the Cougar when Nidalee is in human form
Cheers,
Repertoir"As for the now removed ability for Nidalee to hunt on large monsters, Repertoir commented:
"I agree this opens up options, but we would like a bit more time than just a few days to test this out before going through with it."
