Pool Party Dr. Mundo
975 RP
[There is an ERROR in the video. His Q has unique SFX.]
Here's Nurse Flan with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Dr. Mundo:
"Mundo thinks he needs a vacation.
Mundo wants to go to the pool.
Mundo gonna wear his favorite blue Hawaiian shirt.
Mundo won't forget his ukulele!
Mundo has new things today!
Mundo thinks you should leave your bugs and feedback in this thread. Or Mundo gets really mad.

Pool Party Lulu
1350 RP
Here's Nurse Flan with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Lulu:
"The best part about a Pool Party are the inflatable floaties! Though when too many people show up at the pool, the next best place to go is the beach!
Pool Party Lulu's packed up her trusty inflatable squid hat and arm floaties and went to the beach to build some sand castles. Be careful with Pix the Puffer Fish though, we don't want him to pop anything!
Check out all the cool, new, watery things this Yordle packs!
- Completely new model (the squid hat eyes bobble!)
- New particles! (so watery, with a sandcastle in the ult!)
- New recall! (the squid takes over!)
- Her clamshell staff opens up during her autoattacks!
- New watery sound effects!
- Pix the Puffer Fish!
- *1350 RP (price subject to change)
As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on Lulu's new Pool Party skinaw! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]
See you on the Rift!"
Pool Party Rek'Sai
1350 RP
Here's Riot KateyKhaos with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Rek'Sai:
"You’re gonna need a bigger ult.
Rek’Sai joins the pool party this year – but beware – if you’re looking for a shark, you’re not gonna find her only on the land. ;D
Pool Party Rek’Sai will be 1350 RP* and includes:

New Chroma Packs
We also have new chroma packs for Caitlyn, Darius, Morgana, Rocket Girl Tristana, and Zac!
Before we jump into previews, here's Riot LoveStrut with a context post on the latest additions:
"Chroma Packs are back (now with 300% more gomu gomu). We’re bouncing out four new champion base chroma packs and one champion skin chroma pack, all designed with a specific theme in mind. So whether you’re terrorizing your foes with Morgana Haunt or dropping the axe with Darius Forge, these chroma packs re-imagine champs and skins as you know them.
This round of chroma packs includes Morgana Haunt, Darius Forge, Caitlyn Rebel , Zac Sweet, and Rocket Girl Tristana Punk for 590 RP each.
Let us know what you think of this champ and skin selection and who you think we should deck out in colors next! Got questions? Check out the Chroma Pack FAQ here.On to a better look:
590 RP for 3
Over on Twitter, KateyKhaos commented on the Zac's Chroma: " TO CLARIFY: The Zac Sweet Chroma pack includes Bubblegum (pink) Honey (yellow) and Orange (...orange). It does NOT include 'black Zac'." For reference, this is the black Zac chroma that will soon be removed.
As for why the black Zac chroma isn't actually a thing, LoveStrut commented:
"As for black Zac, however, this was a placeholder texture from a long time ago that accidentally got out here. Unfortunately, we couldn't move forward with this color because dark colors (especially, just plain black) lead to gameplay readability problems such as not being able to immediately read Zac as he's coming out of the fog-of-war and not being able to provide effective shading on dark colors to aid readability and clarity."
New Splash Art
Anivia has also received a splash art update in today's patch!Anivia
HUD Update
