Rift Herald Spawn Updated

Rift Herald's spawn has been updated and he now jumps out of a mysterious void portal.

Miscellaneous

Several champions & skins have had their model sizes adjusted! [s]

Hard to do proper examples of these size changes easily but here's a side by side of Malphite who has increased in size.

While not a definitive list, here's a few that have increased or decreased to some degree:

increased in size: Dr. Mundo, Malphite, Olaf, Rammus, Renekton, Shen
decreased in size: Azir, Kassadin, Rengar, Rumble, Sion, Soraka, Syndra

Ququroon has noted over 40 champions + skins will be affected [s] and that for the most part they are "feel things" rather than being particularly noticeable. [s]

Summoner's Rift Banners for the 2015 ALL-STAR Team Fire and Team Ice have been added. For those who may be unaware, these are decorations used during esports events!
