Here are the individual loading screen slices for each of the three skins:

New Skin - El Rayo Volibear

The new El Rayo Volibear skin has tagged in and is ready for PBE testing!

El Rayo Volibear

750 RP

Here's Riot Nurse Flan with a Bugs & Feedback Thread for El Rayo Volibear:

"El Rayo Volibear takes down his opponents in a flash! He was made with a lightning motif on his fur to match his theme!

Completely new model! (Luchador themed attire!)

Set to be 750 RP* (pricing always subject to change)

As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on the new El Rayo Volibear skin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]

See you on the Rift!"

"Hexakill: Twisted Treeline" game mode live on the PBE for RGM queue testing

Here's RiotStephiroth with more info on Hexakill: TT, which is back on the PBE for RGMQ testing:

"Heya guys! ^__^v

Hexakill: Twisted Treeline is back, and ready for action!

We've made a small tweak since this mode was last live:

New Altar Functionality (note: This was listed in last time's notes, however this change did not make it to live)

Passive: The Altar buff now provides a "Chalice-style" Mana Regeneration

1 Altar captured: +10 % movespeed

2 Altars captured: Minions spawn with +15% HP and damage

We also have some bug fixes:

Fixed a bug where Mordekaiser W was not properly giving EXP on Twisted Treeline. (This also applies to normal Twisted Treeline, not just Hexakill!)

[WILL BE ON TOMORROW] Fixed a bug where Kindred cannot hunt the 6th champion in the game.

We also did some minor particle clean-up on the Altars, however if we did everything right, you won't notice anything at all. :)

As always, thanks for playing our modes and helping us squash bugs. <3 If you see a bug, feel free to report here! And if you have feedback, drop a comment below."

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.

Champions

Ekko

Z-Drive Resonance (Passive) 30/40/50/60% slow for 2-3s removed.

Timewinder (Q) previous slow changes from earlier this cycle reverted - should be back to 32/39/46/53/60% from [30% + 10% per 100 AP].

[NOTE: Looks like this is bugged and still just showing 30%. Should be fixed soon.]

Illaoi

Tentacle Smash (Q) now increases Tentacle damage by 10/15/20/25/30% rather than increasing AD damage ratio by 0/10/20/30/40%

Harsh Lesson (W) now has a bonus damage cap of 300 against monsters.

[NOTE: W's damage was changed in a previous patch this cycle!]]

Jax

Relentless Assault (Passive) stacks now fall off one at a time rather than all at once.

Kindred

Mounting Dread (E) slow reverted to 70% from 30%

[NOTE: While it is hard to suss out due to tooltip not being updated, presumably E no longer gets the slow bonus from passive stacks that was introduced in an earlier update.]

Zed

[CHANGE LIST FROM ASYRITE. Turns out the wrong/incomplete set of changes went to PBE today, these will be on the PBE soon. Leaving up the list for reference! ]

Razor Shuriken (Q)

Base damage lowered to 70/105/140/175/210 from 75/115/155/195/235
AD ratio reduced to .9 from 1.0
Damage on Multi hit on same target changed to 75% from 50%

Death Mark (R)

Proc damage increased to 30/40/50% from 25/35/45%
AD ratio lowered to .5 from 1.0
