New Skins in the Varus Patch + Additional info from PBE

Posted on at 6:53 PM by Moobeat
Holy Moley! We have a lot of new skins. Included in the most recent PBE update, which included the upcoming champion Varus, are new skins for Morgana, Pantheon, Irelia, and Renekton, as well as one of Varus's release skins.

Please remember the videos below are TEASERS and may not reflect the skins final particles, animations, or appearance.


Frost Blade Irelia
Blackthorn Morgana 

 Dacian Knight Pantheon
Rune Wars Renekton 
Dark Crystal Varus



I'll have some more information, videos, and shots as they come available. Big shout out to SkinSpotlights on youtube for getting these up as soon as possible.

P.S: I'm ridiculously excited for that Pantheon skin as it reminds me of something  from my beloved Game of Thrones.

Edit #1: Looks like Slushe has gather a set of item changes from the PBE patch. The changes include a new item, Athene's Unholy Grail ( I can only assume this is Athene's referral reward ), as well as updates for several items that are already in game. A much needed change is some additional utility to Morello's Evil Tome, which will now have an on use similar to Executioner's Calling. Check them out below:

    Looks like Athene's Unholy Grail is going to be another powerful item for Galio.

      A very late game item for Galio. Rare that it will be used, but for those games that go long, it will be a very welcome addition.

      It often comes down to CoH being that item I sell at the end of the game to buy better ones, now I can just upgrade it

    they are kidding... why nerf Shen so much!?!... how is it supposed to work, if Shen is on the top lane for let's say 1/3 of each game? You wouldn't be albe to reach mid lane with such a f.d range... And from my experience bot lane need help in 95% of cases, so not being able to rescue eg. AD carry sucks. Now I regret buying Warlord skin...

      They nerfed his global teleport to be like Twisted Fates? Doesn't seem too bad to me... It just stops the endless split pushing.

      Huh, I thought the nerf was justified XD

    The nerf on the mana cost of Lulu's glitterlance is horrible. The decrease in the ratio was fine, but given her mana pool this makes it very difficult for her to exercise any kind of lane presence. She already had mana issues without a tear/archangels, and this makes it even worse. Your going to see lulus with no mana all the time if this is implemented.

      I thought it was to nerf AP Lulu, that shit was crazy

    2. The PhysicistApril 25, 2012 at 7:49 AM

      Which is why I think the ratio nerf is fine. But Lulu's mana pool is small so nerfing the cost that much makes it hard for her to contribute in team fights. She needs to have enough free to be able to use wild growth while still doing something in the fight. It's already hard to save enough mana on an un-teared lulu as it is.

      Seeing as I upgrade Glitterlance last, this nerf wont effect me much.

    Are these changes good for Ryze? Anybody can tell me if he will be nerfed or buffed?

    Abyssal Scepter is dead with this new Athene's item. No one's going to bother building that for an extra 17 MR when you get a much better item that you can buy in smaller parts and for the same price gets you much much more.
