Lore
Here's the short form version of Yorick's lore that is now available in client. As usual, expect a larger introduction and story down the road!''These isles… How they scream.''
The last survivor of a long-forgotten religious order, Yorick is both blessed and cursed with power over the dead. Trapped on the Shadow Isles, his only companions are the rotting corpses and shrieking spirits that he gathers to him. Yorick's monstrous actions belie his noble purpose: to free his home from the curse of the Ruination."

""Only the worthy will survive."
Championship Zed emerges from the shadows to find any competition worthy of his time. Will anyone be able to stand blade-to-blade with this master assassin?
Championship Zed will be 975 RP* and includes:
- Brand new model and textures! (Sleek Championship armor and blades, ready to strike from the shadows.)

[PBE CONTEXT] Ramping up for Worlds content
Here's Riot Pabro with some information on upcoming Worlds content that will be hitting the PBE soon - including new 2016 WC summoner icons (including emotes & recalls), improvements and the return of Championship Riven, and an introduction to the new Championship Zed!"Hey Everyone,
This is Pabro, from the Personalization team here to talk about the slew of World Championship related skins, icons, and good stuff hitting PBE for Patch 6.18. We're super excited to celebrate the 2016 World Championship with you, and we’re bringing a bunch of ways to show off your team pride in game.
First off, we’re bringing back World Championship summoner icons and temporary team emotes. You’ll be able to purchase and equip an icon for your favorite team which unlocks the ability for you to show your support with an emote. This year, you'll also be able to upgrade emotes across three tiers to show your dedication to your team. Each tier has a different border for the icon and emote, and the final tier has additional sound effects and a special esports recall particle! The final tier of emotes is hitting PBE today, with the other tiers coming at a later time. More details on how the upgrade system will work to come later, but for now enjoy playing around with your favorite team on PBE. (Note, if your team doesn’t make it into Worlds they will not be featured on live. LEND THEM YOUR ENERGY!)
Secondly, we’ve added some extra art to Summoner’s Rift to commemorate the World Championship. The map will feature special textures to reinforce the spirit of Worlds in every game.
Last but certainly not least, we have some exciting news for the Championship skin line. We’re happy to introduce Championship Zed as the mid laner we’ve been waiting for since the famous Faker vs. Ryu showdown. Take him for a spin, and let us know how he feels.
In addition to Zed, we’ll also be bringing back Championship Riven, our first member of the Championship team. We know this has been long-awaited, so check out the full details and further info on her return here.
Please hit us with your feedback and stay tuned for more details that we’ll reveal soon in anticipation of Worlds!
Cheers,
Pabro"
Here are the new World Championship esports summoner icons mentioned above, remember that only the teams that make it into worlds will have icons featured on live! More details on the upgrade system and such to come at a later date.
Championship Riven 2016 - return details & skin updates
The skin will now be split into two "versions" -
- Championship Riven - "original"version of the skin for folks who previously purchased or obtained the skin, complete with extras such as in-game crown & R vfx, special loading screen, and vintage summoner icon! Will not go on sale.
- Championship Riven 2016 - version of the skin that will be returning to the store and available for purchase for 975 RP. Does not include extras.
Below is a comparison between the Champion Riven (left) unique R glow and normal Championship Riven 2016 (right) R. Notice the sword glows brighter around the base.
While there are two versions, both Championship Riven skins have received a texture and vfx pass on the PBE. Below is a comparison between LIVE and PBE versions of Championship Riven
and be sure to check out the preview below video for the current version of Championship Riven's VFX - NOTE: unfortunately the R VFX differences not in video as they are bugged on PBE as of 8/24. WIP!
"Hi there,
I’m Pabro, a Product Manager, on the LoL Personalization Content Team (aka Skins team) and I’m here to give you all an update on Championship Riven as she will be hitting PBE very soon.
Worlds is a special time of year, and with the introduction of Championship Zed (surprise!) who rounds out a full Championship team comp, we wanted to look back to Season 2 where the championship line began. We felt this was a great opportunity to bring back the original Championship skin: Championship Riven for a new generation of players. And we damn well wanted to make sure she felt awesome for original owners. So we spent some time giving her texture some love and bringing it up to our current art standards.
We didn’t want to stop there though, and decided we were going to do something extra special for those who originally obtained her four years ago during the Season 2 World Championship.
If you are an original owner of Championship Riven, we are adding in some extra in-game recognition for you. Firstly, we will be making a custom vintage loading screen banner that is different than previous versions so people will know you’re an OG.
Secondly, we’re creating a “vintage” version of her in-game model that features an exclusive crown and a glowing particle on her sword when her ultimate, “Blade of the Exile” is activated. Original owners will get the “vintage” version of her updated model and the new version as well.
Any new owner of the skin will be able to obtain Championship Riven with an updated texture but none of the aforementioned extra goodies. The goal here was to ensure that vintage Championship Riven commemorated the start of the Championship skin line and people who obtained her at that time will get to celebrate that forever.
Championship Riven has been highly coveted by a lot of you for a looooong time. I mean, there was even a petition about it. Over the years, we’ve heard a lot of feedback, excitement and discussion around this skin so we felt it was important to do something different than what we’ve tried in the past.
We hope you enjoy the update and changes. As always, let us know what you think. We welcome it.
Thanks,To add to this, here's Riot Lovestrut with a bugs & feedback thread for Championship Riven 2016:
Pabro"
"Championship Riven 2016 is dashing, hopping, and slashing her way back into the store for a limited time!
Championship Riven 2016 will be 975 RP* and includes:
- Updated textures! (Championship Riven 2016's made a few tweaks to her gear since last time!)
- Updated VFX! (Crush the competition with more stunning particles!)

We always love the feedback and feelings that you cuties provide! Any bug reports and thoughts help guide us toward ways to make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming! <3
