Dino Gnar Splash
Dino Gnar's adorable splash art is now on the PBE!
[ Check out this post or this preview video for a better look at Dino Gnar in-game! ]
Mega Gnar in-game portrait
Gnar's in-game portrait now changes to an appropriately frightening icon whenever he transforms to Mega Gnar!
Here's an in-game example:
Arcade MF Death & Grievous Wounds
Arcade Miss Fortune seems to have a new death animation or effects but unfortunately she is also disabled on the PBE due to a bug. Riot Whist also mentioned she has a new effect on Twitter. She also appears to have a vfx for her W's Grievous Wounds.Here's Nurse Flan confirming the new features on the Arcade MF PBE thread:
"UPDATE: Arcade MF has been disabled due to a crash bug. :[ The good news is, we're experimenting with a pixelated version of her Grievous Wounds, and attempting to jazz up her recall. \ o /"
When she gets re-enabled I'll be sure to grab more pictures!
Buddy Panel / Chat Visual Refresh
Following suit with the ongoing PvP.net client visual refresh, the friends list and chat user interface has received some deserved love and now matches the other new assets.
 |
| The chat rooms are now significantly smaller and match the size of buddy messages. |
