Along with his snazzy new visual update, Garen received a new voiceover! It is done by the same voice actor and features a ton of totally new lines on top of some old favorites!
We've also got the pre-release videos for Garen's updated Desert Trooper ( which was locked until today ) and Steel Legion ( which has new sounds too! ):

Champion Select Trading Update
Riot BrokenSword popped onto the PBE forum to explain some of the details on the updated Champion Trading system!
"Hey PBE Community,
Riot BrokenSword
We’re rolling out a revamped Trades system that I’d like you all to hammer on. It’s a more robust system that we believe will serve your trade requests better.
The pain points we addressed were largely around the system’s reliability.
We fixed situations where two people try to trade each other at the same time, and get an error -message and a failed trade;
Where a trade action appears to be successful, but actually fails, and shows no error message;
And where players attempt a trade and are given only an ambiguous loading circle, and no player can receive any champion. This loading circle would often follow players into their next game, and they would have to restart their client to remove it.
While we were fixing some of the pain, we included some new features to make the experience a bit better.
-Greyed out and unclickable Trade buttons when the requester or the recipient doesn’t own either champion.
-New Error Messaging to communicate what is happening. [Not yet in]
- is busy trading. Try again when their trade is complete.
- has declined your trade request.
- canceled the trade.
- no longer has the champion you wanted. Try again.
-Accurate display of who your friend is playing on the Friends List after they make a trade.
-A trade is canceled when someone rerolls during their trading process, so people aren’t stuck with something they don’t expect.
Please test the hell out of this thing, and send us your feedback on the forums. We’ll be watching and fixing based on your findings.
Thanks for your help, everyone!
