Atlantean Syndra being pulled from PBE

Here's Wilwarinel announcing Atlantean Syndra will be temporarily pulled from the PBE - don't worry though, she will eventually return for more testing.

"Hey everyone, 

I know this will make a few waves, but we have hit some choppy waters along the way with the Atlantean Syndra skin, and have decided to err on the side of caution and pull her from the PBE until we’re 100% sure she’s ready. 

We’re very sorry about this. To avoid people accidentally crashing, for anybody that has already purchased Atlantean Syndra, we will remove her from your accounts and give you a refund. 

Once she’s ready to ship, and coming along swimmingly, we’ll make her available on the PBE to test again! 

Thanks for the understanding, folks. Please accept this bad haiku: 

Water orbs unleash
A deluge upon her foes
So much untapped power"

New Load Screens

No full splashes yet but we have have the clipped load screen arts for Void Fizz and Super Galaxy Rumble

New Gragas VFX

To accompany his rework, Gragas has new VFX ! His brew is now very purple and very bubbly!

While his other skins share these purple particles, both Vandal and Oktoberfest Gragas have brown vfx.

Lion Dance Kog'Maw Q VFX

While he never had a unique particle before Kog'Maw's Q was changed to be a skill shot, Lion Dance Kog'Maw now has new Q vfx!

New Store Images

The Fist Bump Ward skin from the 3/25 Update now has a proper store image.
