The Return of Graves' Cigar

Following Tryndamere's mysterious tweet, new portrait and loading screen assets depicting Graves with his cigar have been added.

For a quick history lesson, back in 2014 Graves got an updated splash art. That updated splash art originally included a cigar in Graves' mouth but was later removed. The new assets in today's update are in addition to the "cigar less" default versions. Each of these files is labeled "Graves_Square_Tobacco".

Updated Tank Skin splash art

To go along with their updates this cycle, several updated Maokai and Sejuani skin splash arts are here!

Charred Maokai


Totemic Maokai


Festive Maokai


Sabretusk Sejuani


Darkrider Sejuani


Traditional Sejuani


Sejuani Passive Ready Icon Added


Sejuani's new Fury of the North passive now has a shield icon that pops up when it comes off cooldown and is available, in addition to Bristle's glowing armor and fur. Both teams can see this icon.
Bear Calvary Sejuani has a unique armor mark for her passive:

Miscellaneous

  • Several champion recommended items were updated today, likely to go along with the midseason itemization changes.

Balance Changes

Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical or experimental changes. Be aware that what you see below may be lacking context or other changes that didn't make it in or were implemented in an earlier patch this cycle! These are not official notes.

[None that I can find for today!]

Context & Notes

and that's the bottom context because stone wip said so

1) Riot Lovestrut  posted in the Dark Star Kha'Zix PBE feedback thread regarding a few common questions and concerns on the the upcoming skin.

2)  The previously seen Dark Star Thresh Summoner's Rift announcer pack has been enabled for testing in SR games on the PBE.  See the server status page for more information, they will likely update the status when it is removed.

3) Reav3 noted Haunted Maokai's splash will also have some changes but is not finished yet and should be out next patch :
"It did. It should be out next patch though. Not finished yet"
