New Skins

Victorious Sivir

New Champion Select Experience

• 1) You Enter the new champion select process
• 2) You use the two icons underneath your name to choose TWO roles from: Top, Jungle , Mid, Support, Bot, and Fill - matchmaking uses these to match you with a group.
• 3) You queue.
• 4) Once selection starts,  you immediately select the champion you are aiming to play in the role you are assigned.
• You don't actually lock in a champion here, simply hovering one to preview who you plan to choose to your team.
• 5) Bans start, the 3-5 pick in each team each get to select 1 of the 3 total bans for each team.
• 6) After bans, teams alternate picking.
• The splash art for the current champion pick is displayed in middle.
• After every selection, the champion select quote for that champion plays.
• After selecting a champion, you can select your skin (minimize / max by clicking arrow)
• 7) After all picks, the UI zooms back out to the map and you are free to swap champions.

and here's a video of the new champion select experience in action:

Here's a gallery of the new champion select process:
As per the recent 2016 Season Announcement, this will be testing on the PBE then headed to Normal Draft soon after and finally hitting Ranked and Blind Pick later in the 2016 season! See this post for more info.

Lyte has also confirmed this will not be shipping to live in 5.22.

Other Marksman Changes

Similar to the individual marksman with larger changes, Riot Repertoir has posted up a list of smaller scope changes for Ashe, Draven, Ezreal, Jinx, Kalista, Lucian, Sivir, Tristana, Twitch, Urgot, Varus, and Vayne. These changes are listed below on the BALANCE CHANGES section of the post.

Rift Herald

The RIFT HERALD is now on the PBE for testing!

The Rift Herald is a new neutral mob that spawns in Baron's Pit for the first ~20 minutes of the game until Baron spawns. On death, he grants gold to the killing team and a buff to the player who slayed him.
Spawn & Despawn details:

• Rift Herald spawns at the Baron Pit at 4:00.
• Rift Herald respawns every 5 minutes
• Rift Herald despawns at 19:45 unless in combat; hard despawns at 19:55 no matter what

The Rift Herald encounter:

• Rift Herald has only melee attacks but hits hard. Jag suggests you "need to be able to take a punch" to tank Rift Herald.
• The eye on Rift Herald's back will occasionally open, making attacks on him from behind deal bonus damage 15% of Rift Herald's Max health as True Damage.
• Rift Herald's takes 35% less damage from ranged basic attacks.

On death, Rift Herald grants:

• Everyone on the killing team 50 gold
• Gives "Doom's Eve" buff to killer
• 10% increased damage (except True Damage) and 40 bonus MS
• Enhanced Baron recall
• Buffs nearby minions  with 40% increased attack speed

Here's a short video of us duoing the fight - notice it takes extreme damage from behind when eye is open.

.. he will also dance with you if you /dance near him.

Keystone Masteries and Changes

Going into preseason, masteries are being changed!

How it works now is every other tier you must make a DECISION and can not take both abilities on the same tier. For tier 1,3,5, you can split your 5 points between the two but can only place 5 points total. For tier 2,4,6, you can only choose one mastery in each tier.

For example, in this picture I've chosen "Explorer" as my tier 2 Resolve mastery so I can not select "Tough Skin", also a tier 2 resolve mastery, as well.

Here's a quick video demo (functionality is the same, names on video a bit outdated.)

Here's a look at what all is new in each tree!

Vision & Support Item Changes

Vision changes and a round of changes to support items are also a focus in this preseason patch.

Surprisingly, Sight Wards (Green) have been removed from the shop. Invisible wards still available through Sightstone and trinkets though.

Vision Wards (Pinks) reduced to 75g.
Blue trinket has been removed, leaving only the Yellow Warding Totem and the Red Sweeping Lens trinket. Both of these trinkets have been tweaked and now become stronger over time - no need to upgrade them at level 9 anymore they will do it on their own!

You can now also purchase an Alteration for the trinkets, with one option available for each type and unlocking at level 9.

• The red trinket can be updated with the Oracle alteration, which reduces cast range significantly but increases detection radius and makes sweeping effect follow you.

• The yellow trinket can be upgraded with the Farsight Alteration, which removes the ability to store charges and makes wards visible, fragile, and untargetable by allies but massively increases range, reduces cooldown, and gives infinite duration on ward.

Crossing in realm between vision and supports,  Ruby Sightstone has been updated with a new passive that reduces item active cooldowns by 10%.

Speaking of Sightstone, there are now three more unique sightstone upgrades. These are made by combining a sightstone and any of the three tier 2 support items:

• Eye of the Oasis (Sightstone + Nomad's Medallion + Gold)
• Eye of the Equinox (Sightstone + Targon's Brace + Gold)
• Eye of the Watchers (Sightstone + Frostang + Gold)

There are also changes to support item lines, including smoothing out gold generation & costs,  stat adjustments, adding component items to recipe for tier 2 instead of only gold + tier 1, and adjusting the tier 3 actives.

Check 'em out here or down in the item changes section:

• Ancient Coin
• Nomad's Medallion
• Talisman of Ascension

• Spellthief's Edge
• Frostfang
• Frost Queen's Claim
• Frost Queen's Claim has a new active - similar to the now removed Twin Shadows active.

• Relic Shield
• Targon's Brace
• Face of the Mountain
• Face of the Mountain's active shield no longer explodes for damage but instead of a 40% slow for 2 seconds

Also, after killing a ward, "rubble" now remains there for a short duration!

New Ward Skins

The 2015 season ranked team reward wards are now on the PBE!

New Summoner Icons

Three new icons for the upcoming ALL STAR event have been added!

On a related note, files for "AS_IceFinisher" were also added. Seems similar to the special kill finishers we saw during URF earlier this year.

All-Star Team Fire and Team Ice Summoner Icon Emblems & Finishers

Similar to the icons from the 2015 World Championship teams, the new TEAM ICE AND TEAM FIRE All-Star team summoner icons include new emblem emotes.
Just like the 2015 WC summoner icons, equipping either of these new icons makes your mastery emote key (control + 6 by default) display the appropriate team's emblem.

TEAM FIRE:

TEAM ICE:

Here's a video of the two new emblems & finishers in in action:

For reference, here are the TEAM FIRE and TEAM ICE icons that were added in an earlier patch this cycle.
At this time there are no details yet on availability of the icons or how long these extra sort of effects will be available for when the icons are eventually released.

2015 Ranked Reward Summoner Icons

As we move towards the end of the 2015 ranked season, 2015 Ranked reward summoner icons are now on the PBE!  These will be distributed based on the rank tier you end the season in!

There is an icon for each of the three ranked queues - Solo, 3v3, 5v5 - for each tier. There are a total of  three sets of three Challenger icons as there are unique icons for challenger positions for 1-10, 11-50, and 51-200 for solo queue and 1-3, 4-15, and 16-50 for 3v3 & 5v5 teams.

2015 Ranked Reward Loading Screen Borders

Mysterious Announcer Files Added

A mysterious set of new lines have been added to the female announcer VO files.

These lines are not in the traditional announcer voice but instead different characters voice. There are a total of six new lines:

• "I'm running out of heroes."
• "I wish they'd give up trying to stop me, but I can understand their position."
• "Well, that wasn't the hero."
• "They try to knock me down, but I have a low center of gravity."
• "I got lucky. You'll get me next time."
• "Annnddd, my search continues."

Current speculation is that these MAY be for the upcoming Poppy champion update, which will be "Sion level" in scope and contain a new voiceover!

Miscellaneous

• Centered champion splash assets for the rest of the champions have been added
• A-K
• L-Vi
• Vo - Z
