Abilities:

Here are her icons spread out, including extra icons for Q and E double activation:

Adaptive Defenses (Passive):
Basic attacks on champions grant a shield equal to X% (20% of Camille's maximum health) against their damage type (Physical or Magic) for X seconds.
This effect has a [20/15/10 at 1/7/13] second cooldown. 
  • Jag on how passive shield works - "Camille essentially understands every champion's PvP premitigation damage (before resistances) that they've done throughout the entire game, and also understands her own resistances. She combines this information to determine the best shield she should get."
  • Camille's chest & back glow when her passive is up as well as a bright flash when comes off cooldown. 


Precision Protocol (Q):
[Range]
Cost: 25 mana
Cooldown: 9/8.25/7.5/6.75/6
Camille's next basic attack deals [20/25/30/35/40% total AD] bonus physical damage and increases her movement speed by 20/25/30/35/40 for 1 second. This ability can be recast in the next 3 seconds at no cost. 
If the second Precision Protocol attack hits at least 1.5 seconds after the first, the bonus damage is increased by 100% to x and [55% - 100% based on level] of the attack is converted into true damage.
Precision Protocol cannot critically strike. 
  •  Scaling on true damage % is - 55/58/61/64/67/70/73/76/79/82/85/88/91/94/97/100.

Tactical Sweep (W):
[Range]
Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana
Cooldown:  15/13.5/12/10.5/9
Camille winds up and then slices in a direction, dealing 65/95/125/155/185 (+ 60% bonus AD)  physical damage to enemies hit.
Enemies hit by the outer half are slowed by 90%, decaying over 2 seconds. They take extra physical damage equal to 6/6.5/7/7.5/8% (+3% per 100 bonus AD ) of their maximum health, healing Camille for 100% of the damage dealt (healing capped at [10% max health] from non-champions). 
Tactical Sweep does 50% less damage to non-epic monsters.
  • NOTE: Camille can move while winding up W. 

Hookshot (E):
[Range]
Cost: 50 mana.
Cooldown: 16/14.5/13/11.5/10
First Cast: Fire a hookshot that attaches to terrain, pulling Camille to it and allowing Hookshot to be recast for 1 second. 
Second Cast: Camille leaps from the wall, colliding with the first enemy champion hit. Upon landing, she deals 70/115/160/205/250 (+75% bonus AD) physical damage and a 1 second stun to nearby enemies. Dashes towards enemy champions travel twice as far and grant 40/50/60/70/80% attack speed for 5 seconds.

Hextech Ultimatum (R):
[Range]
Cost: 100 mana

Cooldown: 140/115/90

Camille briefly becomes untargetable and leaps onto an enemy champion, locking them into an area they cannot escape by any means for 4 seconds. Other nearby enemies are knocked away. Her basic attacks against the trapped enemy deal bonus magic damage equal to 5/10/15 plus 4/6/8% of their current health.
The Hextech Ultimatum ends if Camille leaves the area.

Here's a brief preview of her abilities in action:


Voiceover

Here's Camille's voiceover, clocking in at about 15 minutes with numerous champion interactions!

Lore

Here is Camille's short form lore entry from the client:
"Weaponized to execute outside the boundaries of the law, Camille Medarda is an elegant and elite operative who ensures the commerce of the Piltover machine with its Zaunite underbelly runs smoothly. Raised among manners and money, she is the Principal Intelligencer of House Medarda, and runs down the family's darker problems with surgical precision. Others in Piltover may carry hex-tech, but Camille's single-minded devotion to her profession has left many to wonder if she is more machine than woman. With a mind as sharp as the blades she bears, Camille is adaptable and patient, viewing chaos and sloppy technique as a thing that must be put to order."
More on Camille, including a background, story, and comic, available on the [UNIVERSE PAGE] .

Legend of the Poro King Changes

The previously announced Legend of the Poro King changes are now on the PBE for testing, including different types of poro snax to feed the Poro King for bonus effects!

Here's Riot Stephiroth with more information:
"Hello, Summoners! \o 
As you may have seen in our previous post we have some changes coming up for Poro King! 
As a note, Poro King will be one of our first TWO modes in the Updated League Client! :D Try it out and let us know! There will be some missing strings and assets for a while. 
TL;DR: 
  • Feed the King snax!
  • Snax do cool, combat enhancing skills
  • There are four snax total!
    • Frosted Snax
      • Shoots a barrage of ice missiles. So cold!
    • Spicy Snax
      • This is too hot for Poros, and causes the King to spew fire! Fire is hot... don't touch that!
    • Espresso Snax
      • So... much... caffeine! O_O The King bounces around, knocking back enemies and gains a shield.
    • Rainbow Party Pack
      • Snacks for all Poros! Whee! The Poros get so excited for the Snax that they stampede out, knocking around any champions in their path...
  • Poro Skins (unlocked by purchasing the Astronaut/Shadow Isles/Dragonslayer etc Poro icons) still work, and give you cool personalized Poro followers. :D
We're still waiting for the finalized icons for now, so you should see those incoming in a few days! :) 
If you have feedback or questions, feel free to post here! If you have bugs, please report them via the Report a Bug Tool"
Here's a look at the four new types of Snax you can buy to power up your poro king!
 
 

In addition to these changes, we also have two new poro skins (enabled by equipping  specific icons during the mode) and an update to the base poro -  DARK STAR and STAR GUARDIAN.

The default map and follower poros have also been updated! [Comparison]

Legend of Poro King also includes a few new festive decorations on the Howling Abyss map - bows, poros, gift boxes, etc!

[NOTE: Only enabled in matchmade Legend of Poro King games, not customs!]

      CONTINUED TESTING

      The following content has been testing on the PBE but will not be going to live in the patch.

      League Client Update Changes

      11/21 Update: Legend of the Poro King is now available on the League Client update's mode selection menu - this is the first RGMQ mode to be enabled on the LCU. Nexus Siege should also be available on the LCU in 6.24.

      11/22 Update: A new "potato mode" option was added to the PBE LCU. While no tooltip or explanation, I'd hazard a guess this is related to a "low spec" mode or otherwise some sort of upcoming performance enhancing option for lower end PCs.

      EDIT: Looks like "potato mode" went to PBE a bit early and is not hooked up yet. Context from Riot Credo:
      "hey, so this is a feature we're currently working on (it accidentally slipped to PBE, sorry!). We've gotten the framework for setting potato mode, but we havent actually connected it to anything yet. The reason for this is that there are multiple efforts to try and improve performance and some of our other efforts have made the client as a whole faster especially on machines powered by potatoes. So, once we figure out how far we can go with that, we'll see how much we need to be able to switch on and off with the potato mode button. Makes sense?"
      While we saw them debut last cycle then be removed near end of cycle, the options menu once again includes the ability to set in-game hotkeys through the LCU client.

      Winter Summoner's Rift

      Winter Summoner's Rift remains on the PBE for testing. Look for it to release in 6.24!
