Lunar Revel Hextech Crafting Assets

Several new Lunar Revel inspired Hextech crafting assets added today - 4 materials or components (left) and 1 chest (right most). .These share aesthetics with the new Warrking Kingdoms skins!
    
Assets for another new chest was included but do not have unique visuals (yet?).

Notes

  • ricklessabandon on the Kennen R Changes in today's update:
[1] "ah, forgot to mention this ahead of time, but there are kennen nerfs on the pbe now. damage will be the same (or better) over the 3 seconds"

[2] "but the damage is mostly up front now. so, at 6 you'll still do 300 (+150% ap) damage for a full ult but the first second is 40% less damage"

  • Meddler noted on the boards that Lucian buffs will likely hit the PBE soon - passive damage scaling tweaks + Q damage buff  at later ranks.
