New Champion Skins

Two new champion skins have debuted this cycle, including Conqueror Karma for MSI 2017 and the new 1350 RP tier Cosmic Blade Master Yi!

Conqueror Karma

Here's Riot Katana with a feedback thread for Conqueror Karma including context on the skinline changes and MSI relation:
"Hey there! 
I’m Riot Katana, a product manager with a focus on esports in-game content. With Conqueror Karma hitting PBE as the first member of a new skin line, I wanted to give a bit of backstory as to how she came about and what changes you can expect to esports skins this year. 
Last year we mentioned that the Challenger skin would contribute to the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational prize pool [LINK] just like Championship Zed for the World Championship. We were super excited about this new opportunity and when we began exploring the Challenger skin for this year, we discovered some weaknesses that we wanted to level up: 
  • The theme was a bit unclear - Many players didn’t realize these skins were connected to esports because they didn’t line up with a major event visually or in timing
  • A start of season launch didn’t make as much sense as MSI 2017 - When we created the Challenger skin line we had never even held an MSI, so the start of the esports global season seemed like a natural fit. As MSI’s identity developed over the last few years, it made more and more sense for the spirit of our second largest event to shape the skin. We don’t want to significantly overhaul two skins that a lot of players enjoy as-is, so we decided to make the change going forward, but not alter Ahri and Nidalee. 
All of this is to say that we thought we could do better, and that bringing the skin more in line with our Mid-Season Invitational would create a more meaningful and commemorative esports skin. 
We took this opportunity to rethink Challenger down to its core thematic. We revisited the color scheme and armor design and lined it up more with what you’ll see year over year during MSI. You’ll also see a darker undertone in the design and new name - “Conqueror,” a nod to the regional clashes and the struggle for one region to rise to the top during MSI 2017. 
Conqueror Karma will now contribute to the MSI 2017 prize pool instead of its Challenger predecessor, but we hope you’ll be even more excited about the new direction. As we continue to iterate on how to make the best skins possible for esports, expect to see some information on our plan for the 2016 SKT Worlds Winner’s Skins soon! (Hint: Bang’s concept art is spot on) 
FAQ: 
Will there be any more Challenger skins following the previous designs?
Currently there are no plans to create more Challenger skins, but the idea is not completely off the table. 
Will previous Challenger Skins (Ahri and Nidalee) still return during esports events?
Yes, we will still consider the past Challenger skins as esports skins even though we aren’t planning to make more at this time. You’ll still see them hit the store during MSI and Worlds. 
Why did you choose Karma to be this year’s Conqueror skin?
We consider a lot of factors when we choose esports skins candidates. With our new launch timing, we pick esports-resonant champions by considering play rates from the most recent major international tournament (i.e. Conqueror looked at Worlds play rates, and Championship will look at MSI play rates). We also consider how well the champion will fit the thematic of the skin line (sorry guys, probably no Championship Teemo anytime soon) and their recent or upcoming skins. 
We consider a lot of factors when we choose esports skins candidates. With our new launch timing, we pick esports-resonant champions by considering play rates from the most recent major international tournament. Using Worlds play rates to choose Conqueror and MSI play rates to choose Championship gives us the best opportunity to capture a moment of esports history while still giving us enough time to develop a high quality skin. 
We also consider overall champion popularity, how well the champion will fit the thematic of the skin line (sorry guys, probably no Championship Teemo anytime soon), and their recent or upcoming skins."
LoL Esports tweeted out that Conqueror Karma will contribute to the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational prize pool.

  • New model and texture - Decked out in white and blue attire, complete with golden armor!

New Ward Skin

Along with the new Karma skin, a new Conqueror Ward skin is also now on the PBE.

New Summoner Icons

Three new summoner icons, two themed around Rakan and Xayah and one for Conqueror Karma.
  

Four new summoner icons were also added, this time with a Cosmic theme:
   

New MSI Content -  Summoner Icons, Emotes, & more

In addition to Conqueror Karma, a slew of Mid-Season Invitational cosmetic content has hit the PBE - including summoner icons, in-game emotes, Summoner's Rift Decals, and Base decorations.

A large batch of MSI summoner icons are now on the PBE. With a total of 27 icons, there is a base MSI icon and a set of light and dark icons for each region. No details on availability yet.



There is also another set of MSI related in-game emotes - 13 total and one for each region. The assumption is these are related to the icons (like Worlds). No firm details yet.
         

We also have in-game regional base banners, which are typically seen on stream:
         

 MSI 2017 Summoner's Rift decals added - as with many esports events, expect these MSI logos to appear a various places on the map during the event.

Finally, a new MSI 2017 login screen theme was also added to the PBE!

Look for more on MSI as it kicks off in May!

Rakan and Xayah Login Theme

A new login theme featuring Xayah and Rakan is now on the PBE!

New Hextech Crafting Assets

A new asset for a new type of hextech crafting chest is also on the PBE. This chest would appear to be Esports/MSI related given the crest in the middle.

Miscellaneous

"Hello Summoners!  
We’re turning on some exciting new changes to the way the rendering engine for League works. Our goal is for this to have no noticeable change or impact, so hopefully you won’t notice anything has changed at all.  
If you see any new issues with in-game visuals (e.g. weird square textures, odd blinky graphics, etc.), please comment in this thread and I’ll be sure to look into it. In particular, we’re looking out for visual bugs that are newly caused by these rendering changes, so everything should be looking the same as Live. Please include your machine configuration in any reports (GPU, CPU, RAM, Operating System), as well as the graphics settings your game is on (windowed, low-high quality, 1920x1080, etc.), as it can really help us figure out exactly where the problem is coming from.  
Feel free to post below with any questions, and please report any issues that you think might be related in this post. Thanks!"
