New Champion Skins
Dreadnova Darius
[LOOT EXCLUSIVE - 10 gemstones to craft or can open as skin shard]
"As a merciless general, Dreadnova Darius, will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Keep out of his way, or get dunked!
Dreadnova Darius is a Loot-exclusive skin * and includes:
Dreadnova Darius is now available to play on the PBE! As players who experience this content firsthand, your constructive feedback is appreciated. Feel free to leave it in the comments below! If you have any questions, you can also drop them below and I'll do my best to answer them! ^-^
- New model and texture - geared up in galactic warrior armor, complete with jet packs!
- New particles - Shiny digital tech! Oh, and we can't forget the fire!
- New sound effects - *insert chainsaw sounds *
- New recall animation - Darius proves he won't back down, in true Darius fashion, of course.
GLHF!
*You’ll need 10 gemstones to craft the skin. Like Hextech Annie and Soulstealer Vayne, Dreadnova Darius can also drop as a skin shard."
God Fist Lee Sin
1820 RP
[Homestart buff, he stomps the ground as he runs]
As a legendary tier skin, God Fist Lee Sin also has a unique voiceover including it's own special interactions!
""They dare to challenge a god. Let them try."
On the cusp of godhood, God Fist Lee Sin seeks a challenge that will finally push him into ascension. His quest for a final battle has proven fruitless so far, but maybe Summoner's Rift can provide him with a worthy opponent.
Divine Details
- All-new model and textures (God Fist Lee Sin's training has honed his body and mind, showing through his muscular model, divine markings, and third eye headpiece.)
- All-new VFX (His attacks and abilities strike with transcendent power.)
- All-new VO and SFX (New voice lines and processing to match his powerful sound effects.)
- All-new animations (New varying auto-attacks, new Resonating Strikes that change at differing travel lengths, new ways to send enemies flying with your Dragon's Rage. He's learned many new moves through his training... including dance moves.)
- Ward-hopping to the God Fist Ward, while using God Fist Lee Sin, will also trigger a special ward animation
- Set to be Legendary - 1820 RP (Prices are subject to change.)
We always love hearing your feedback and feelings! All bug reports and thoughts help us make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming!
Thanks, cuties! <3"

Context & Notes
Lastly, check out the links and posts below for context on a few of the changes in the 7.7 PBE cycle.1) In his 3/20 Quick Gameplay Thoughts post, Meddler commented on several balance changes in testing for 7.7:
"More balance changes being tested
We're about to start a new PBE cycle tomorrow, all going according to plan. Since my last post we've also started looking at a few more potential changes, which include:
- Alistar - buffs to passive and E (update last year made him healthier we think so should be able to put a bit more power into him)
- Camile - W no longer healing off non champions, W slow scaling by rank instead of a flat 80% ( targeting laning phase sustain and gank assist)
- J4 - buff testing shifting W from bonus shield per champ nearby to max health scaling (part of our pass on junglers that need a bit of help)
- Volibear - buff to R, with more bounces and improved bounce logic (another from the jungler pass)
2) Reav3 on who worked on Karma splashes:
"RiotOwlyCat (I might be spelling that wrong), 3rdCollosus, and HUGEnFAST.
All three were started by our outsourcing art team though and then finished up by the splash art team internally."
3) ricklessabandon with changelists for some of the champions changed in to day's PBE:
[1] "here are the kassadin changes in today's pbe update:"
[2] "here are the lissandra changes in today's pbe update:"
[3] "here are the lux changes in today's pbe update:"
On the Lissandra R change, he also noted it would likely be cut and something else added in it's place.
"yeah, i'm not a fan of the ult change either -- going to replace it with something simple if we don't hit on something larger"On the Lux R change, he added that it is either a partial reset or nothing -
"nope -- the ult either gets any number of kills + 1 partial reset, or no kills + nothing at all"
4) Riot Ve1vet mentioned we can expect the God Fist Lee Sin login theme later this cycle.
"Current Bard changes:"
