10/15 PBE Update - Sultan GP, Officer Vi, Victorious Elise

The PBE has been updated with a ton of new stuff! We have Officer Vi, Victorious Elise, and Sultan Gangplank skins, a few mysterious new mastery icons, a change to turrets showing up on mini map after being destroyed, a retro loading screen, a frightening new splash art for Nocturne, a slew of balance changes, a new visual denoting Ahri's ult, special interactions between Sivir and Renekton/Cassiopeia, and more!

Continue reading to check out what's new in the latest PBE update.

(Warning: PBE Content is tentative and iterative - what you see may not reflect what eventually gets pushed to live servers! Manage your expectations accordingly. )

New Skins

Officer Vi

Victorious Elise

No spiderform or spiderlings model yet.. things are awkward.   The models for spider form and spiderlings have been added in the 10/16 PBE Update -  check it out!

Here's an EXTREMELY INCOMPLETE look at Victorious Elise

Sultan Gangplank
Sultan Gangplank has files and a reference on the PBE but isn't actually up here yet. However, shots of his model and his splash art are available thanks to this announcement on the TR server. Enjoy but remember it is NOT AVAILABLE ON THE PBE FOR TESTING.

Updated Splash

Nocturne

Turret / Minimap change

Turrets no longer show up on the mini map after being destroyed.

"New" Retro Login

This is pretty simliar to the old beta login. Strange.

New Mastery Icons

A few new mastery icons have slipped in with this PBE update as well and since they don't replace any existing mastery icons it leads us to believe they are going to tie in with new masteries to be introduced for Season 4. More word on this at a later date.

Ahri Spirit Rush Indicator

As ricklessabandon mentioned, Ahri now has visual indicator when she is using her Spirit Rush ( R ). The particle pops up after her first cast and disappears after her last cast is used.

ricklessabandon also noted:

" that's totally a placeholder i made quickly, btw. i'm sure the artists on hand will make something prettier when they have time. :3"

Sivir's Unique Taunts for Renekton and Cassiopeia

Sivir's unique taunts for both Renekton and Cassiopeia were "hooked up" today - they were previously found in her updated VO but were not functioning in game.

Taunts for Cassiopeia

• "You always were a snake. Now you look the part."
• "Your inner beauty really shines through, Cassiopeia."

Taunts for Renekton

• "You'll make a nice bag."
• "I could use a pair of croc skin boots."

Minor Icon Changes

A few icons got updated in this build!

Sivir's R and E are have been updated - R  has a slimmer, more angry face and E is now blue ( matching the in-game ability ) instead of purple.

 Xerath's portrait also got chnaged, it's now much lighterand zoomed out a bit.
