Purple Side animated Victory / Defeat screen

Summoner Spell Mark / Dash sfx
Sound effects have been added for the new ARAM exclusive summoner spell Mark/Dash. As you may have imagined, it sounds like a snowball.

Skin Changes: Forsaken Jayce Q & Blood Moon Zilean Q vfx
[Note: These vfx changes were made in the 4/22 Update but since I overlooked them and they were a very late addition to the site site post I'm also documenting them here for visibility.]Forsaken Jayce
Forsaken Jayce, an upcoming 1350 RP tier skin, has received changes to his Q projectile, which is now looks like more of an energy bolt than a orb.
Here's the standard Q and the E+Q combo:

Blood Moon Zilean

Miscellaneous
- A small series of icons above the queue button now denotes what sort of rewards you get for playing that mode - IP, XP, or Champion points for the upcoming Champion Mastery system.
Balance Changes
* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.
Items
- Once again, the experimental Mandrake Ward item has been removed from the PBE as we near the end of the cycle.
- [Note: As for why it has been repeatedly removed and re-added to the PBE the last few cycles, Reinboom commented on that over on reddit.]
