New Ward Skin

To go along with the upcoming Championship Zed skin and the 2016 World Championship, we have a new 2016 Championship Ward now on the PBE for testing.

2016 Championship Ward

Here's RiotLoveStrut with a bugs & feedback thread for the 2016 Championship Ward:

"Worlds 2016 is right around the corner, so show off your pro-level vision game with the 2016 Championship Ward!

The 2016 Championship Ward will be 640 RP* and includes:

Brand new model and textures! (Sleek new Championship design to kick off Worlds!)

All-new VFX! (Spawns in with style!)

All-new animations! (The floating Championship helmet keeps watch over the Rift.)

We always love the feedback and feelings that you cuties provide! Any bug reports and thoughts help guide us toward ways to make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming! <3

Thankies!

New Esports Summoner Icons

Several new new 2016 World Championship summoner icons were added in today's update, these two colors are the "first tier" and "second tier" of the upcoming 2016 WC icons. The third"final tier" and most decorated versions of these icons were added originally in the 6.18 PBE cycle.

There are 17 icons total for each tier, 16 for each of the qualified teams and one generic 2016 WC icon.

Flash Frost (Q) :

Pass through slow now referred to as [Chilling] enemies.
Now applies [Iced] to targets hit with the detonation.

Frostbite (E) damage has been changed! Rather than dealing double damage to enemies slowed by Q/R, E now deals different bonus damage based on [Iced]or [Chilled].

[CHILLED] targets take 150% damage and [ICED] targets take 200%

Glacial Storm (R)

Normal slow now referred to as [Chilling] enemies.
The full blown storm (max damage & slow) now applies [ICED] to enemies caught in it.

Aurelion Sol

Comet of Legend (E) few changes:

"Escape Velocity removed, can now be cast any time out of combat. Goes on short cooldown when taking champion/tower damage."**
"Can no longer click to cancel, only cancelled with E recast"**
