Ward Skin

A new Blood Moon ward skin was added to the PBE:

Blood Moon Ward

Summoner Icons

Seven icons were added to the PBE:

Blood Moon Pyke Icon, Blood Moon Aatrox Icon, Blood Moon Sivir Icon

  

Blood Moon Descent Icon

 

Cheering Poro Icon, Esports And Chill Icon, Foam Finger of Destiny Icon

  

Another new summoner icon was added to the PBE.

SapMagic noted "It's Morgana. But it's not for the update."

He continued:

"We're currently thinking the splits will have a faction theming of some kind, and the plan is to use content based around a champion from that faction, ideally one that is associated with Ranked but doesn't have to be. 

We'll be experimenting with this, so nothing I'm saying is set in stone."
