New "Shurima" Ward Skins

Last week we got a set of three store images for these new wards and, as expected, today's patch included their in-game assets. These wards are now up for testing on the PBE but we have NO CONFIRMATION on pricing or availability.

Sun Disc Ward Skin

Sad Mummy Ward Skin

Armordillo Ward Skin

Here's Riot KateyKhaos with a bugs and feedback thread on these new ward skins:

"Illuminate the darkest corners of the battlefield with the blazing glory of Shurima with three new wards!

• Armordillo Ward: The Armordillo Ward is none other than Rammus himself (decked out in gold!) on top of the ward. OK? OK.
• Sad Mummy Ward: The Sad Mummy ward has, you guessed it, a golden Amumu on top of this ward (complete with broken heart)!
• Sun Disc Ward: A golden sun disc, shining in all its glory!

As players getting the first look at these wards, we'd like to know what you think! Please leave any comments or bugs reports pertaining to these wards in the comments below! 

See you on the Rift!"

Updated Base Orianna Splash

Following last week's unexpected deploy of a new Orianna champion portrait, we now get the new splash art in it's full glory. This is very exciting.

Galactic Renekton Texture Update

Galactic Renekton got a fresh new texture update. As a reminder, Renekton's got a feasty Texture and Model update up on the PBE for testing.

Balance Changes

Remember: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are NOT official notes.
