[Updated] 7/15 PBE Update: Gangplank Login, Sharks on Summoner's Rift, & more

Posted on at 3:51 PM by Moobeat
[7/16 Update: Rather than make a standalone post for it, I've updated the post with a few things that went out in a patch on July 16th. Typical end of cycle reverts & a few bug fixes. HUD Update going live in 5.14!]

The PBE has been updated! Today's patch includes a login screen to go along with Gangplank's champion update, a shark easter egg on Summoner's Rift, skin tweaks, and more!
Continue reading for more information!

(Warning: PBE Content is tentative and iterative - what you see may not reflect what eventually gets pushed to live servers! Manage your expectations accordingly. )

Gangplank Login

To go along with his champion update, we have a login theme for Gangplank!

Here's the still image:

SHARKS on Summoner's Rift

There is a new easter egg on Summoner's Rift - when you load in to a game with a team's worth (5 or more) of Bilgewater champions or Bilgewater skins - two sharks spawn in the lower right corner of the map.
This is similar to the Pool Party rubber ducky and Freljord champion poro SR easter eggs.

Skin Updates

As usual, we have a few tweaks to the upcoming skins currently testing on the PBE.

Captain Fortune

Captain Fortune has received texture tweaks, notably tweaking her colors, arms, & legs.
[Note: these  were originally added in 7/14 update but skin was bugged.]

Rogue Admiral Garen

Rogue Admiral Garen's shoulder pad has been increased in size significantly.
Rogue Admiral Garen's shoulders during his W have  also been tweaked to be darker and bit more metallic.

Previews for these and the other new skins currently on the PBE can be found in the 5.14 PBE megathread.

HUD Update

[Note: They've announced the HUD update is heading to live in patch 5.14! Check out the announcement and the HUD update mini site for more information.]

Miscellaneous 


  • <7/16> [BUG FIX] The 2015 Elements summoner icon has finally been fixed and should display the updated logo properly on the load screen + in-game.
  • <7/16> A set of in-game HUD icons for the four Black Market Brawler's minions have been added, should now properly display their icons when they kill a structure or player.
