Miscellaneous 

  • A new "Center Camera Highlight" option has been added. It appears this will put a glow around your character whenever you use a hot key to center the camera on your champion.

  • Cloud Drake's dragon pit wall color has been changed.
  • The personalized shop is mysteriously back on the PBE, listing an offer end date of June 16th. Assets have been updated but the hover over text still says Lunar Revel Shop (the last time it was up)

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.
