Rift Herald Spawn & Death

While we mentioned Rift Herald's shiny new spawn effects in an earlier patch this cycle, Rift Herald also has a new death effect where it disintegrates into the same portal. 


Spellblade VFX Change

The Spellbalde VFX for Sheen, Trinity Force, Iceborn Gauntlet, Lich Bane , and Enchantment: Runeglaive have been updated on the PBE! As some of you may recall we saw similar vfx changes hit the PBE a few months ago but they never made it to live!


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.
