"Yasuo_Skin02" Voice

EDIT: Second patch is going out with the model and textures!!

While there are no model or texture files, audio files for a new Yasuo skin, "Yasuo_Skin02", were added. It includes his normal lines with a cyborg-y filter over them.


While we don't have any other details on this new skin, feel free to speculate on what the filtered VO, a feature commonly seen with 1350 RP tier skins, might mean!

SR Update Returns

After being removed late last PBE cycle, the Summoner's Rift update is now back on the PBE!

Patcher and Langing Page VR return

The visual refresh for the patcher and landing page ( and frame! ) are also back on the PBE.

 

Master Tier Assets

A few assets for the new Master tier of ranked where included in this patch. See this post for more info on the upcoming addition to ranked tiers

There are no transformation videos ( i.e the medal morphing from Diamond to Master, Master to Challenger ), profile trim, or anything else yet but I'll keep a look out!

Other

Map8 ( Crystal Scar ) got a new files called "SandstormFogofWarOverlay" and what looks like a few other MINOR things. They are likely nothing tangible in-game but I figured I'd mention as it would seem to line up with all the Ascension files ( TL;DR - new files for Map8 that seem to indicate a new featured gameplay mode. no official details ) that have been floating around.
