New Skins and Tentative Patch Notes for the Lulu Patch!

The Public Beta Environment has been updated to include the upcoming Lulu patch in its entirety! In addition to the new loading screen and music from above, we have access to all of the fabulous new skins, tentative patch notes, and a new item! Lets get on with the show...


Below are the splashes and video previews for the two launch Lulu skins as well as stunningly awesome new skins for both Kog'Maw and Graves.



We are also privy to all the Champion page videos of Lulu and her abilities! Think of it as a mini champion spotlight. You can check out the actual embedded videos over here, or just watch this preview video below to see the abilities in action.

Next up we have tenative patch notes from the PBE! While I couldn't find an official set of PBE notes, I do have an unofficial list of changes pulled from Lolpro.com :

As you probably noticed above, there has been a new item added to the game! The new AD caster item is named Maw of Malmortius and is intended for AD Casters ( champions focusing more on AD ratios on abilities rather than auto attacks ) or Bruisers. Building out of a Hex Drinker and a pickaxe, MoM  will give you the following stats:

+55 Attack Damage
+36 Magic Resist
Unique Passive: If you would take magic damage that would leave you at less than 30% health, you first gain a shield that absorbs 400 magic damage for 5 seconds ( 60 second cool down )
Unique Passive: +1 Attack Damage for every 2.5% your maximum health that is missing.

In addition to this, Hexdrinker has also been altered. It now costs 1400 total gold and consists of the following stats:

+25 AD
+30 MR
Unique Passive: If magic damage that would bring you <30% health, you first gain a shield that absorbs 250 magic damage for 3 seconds ( 60 second cooldown )

PHEW! That was a lot of information! Thanks to the multiple, awesome posts on reddit that helped me cover my bases.
