New Login Theme - TCL 2018 

A new login themed around Turkey Championship League is now on the PBE! The login theme uses copyrighted music and can't be uploaded at this time, so here is a look at the still image from the login screen (video without music will come later!)

Miscellaneous

  • Skin bios for each of the High Stakes skins have been added to the PBE! notquitefrodo noted on Twitter the full bios created a poem:
"If you're among those interested in TASTY SKIN LORE, here are all five upcoming descriptions of the High Stakes skins arranged in order. Each skin is the stanza of a poem styled after Lewis Carroll, and the order is Ez, TF, Morde, Syndra, and Shaco"
