New Splash Art

More Texture Rebalances
Following yesterday's batch, today's patch includes texture rebalances for Hextech Janna, Victorious Janna, and Jurassic Cho'Gath. Remember that texture rebalances are aimed at updating older champion & skin textures to match the current art style and are not meant to replace future visual updates.
Here's a video comparison of the texture rebalances for Victorious and Hextech Janna:
Taric, Warwick, Janna, Tempest Janna, Frost Queen Janna, Gentleman Cho'Gath, and Loch Ness Cho'Gath also have texture rebalances on the PBE. Check out our earlier PBE coverage for a better look.

Debonair Galio will not be released in 5.5
"Hey guys, we saw that a lot of players weren't super excited about the Debonair Galio skin on PBE, so we've decided to take some time and do what we can to make this skin as awesome possible. That said, he won't be in Patch 5.5."
Miscellaneous
[Bug Fix] Elderwood Bard has been fixed up and no longer has the broken texture stretching from arm to arm.
They also added a new Urf model to the files. No idea what it is for yet but it is lacking a texture and has a few animations. It is labelled as a "particle".
