- A handful of skin bios were added this cycle, including bios for Steel Legion, Infernal, Trick or Treat skins, and more! Check out these examples:
Little Devil Teemo:
“…and a great sign shall appear in the heavens, the light of the world fading from human memory, as all the evils once locked away rise again upon a wicked throne—the true lord of darkness seated thereon. Every living thing will know his laugh, and be drowned in sin.” Teemo 16:3
Bewitching Janna:
It's Janna's favorite season once again—when dark spirits rise from the earth, and hidden troves of candy are enjoyed by all. Don your best disguise and ride into the night, for the witching hour is upon us!
Count Kledula:
This blood is MY blood. This candy is MY candy. Who sent you here?! You're not real ghosts! I'm Count Baron Double-Marquis Lord Duke Kledula… AND I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO TRICK-OR-TREAT ON MY LAND!"

Context & Notes
1) BelugaWhale noted a corrected changelist for Kai'sa, noting what was on the PBE was a bug:"Hey guys, updating this thread with where we are at now. Goal is to weaken her against tanks by a significant margin, without significant change to damage vs squishies. Don't think a champion whose kit grants such high target access to pop squishies to also just default winning when shooting tanks, especially considering she gets her pick of the litter on defensive carry items (Banshees, Zhonyas, GA, Mercurial). Sub goal is to push her towards crit / AD builds if she wants to kill tanks, and AP heavier builds if she wants to pop squishies faster.
Passive:Heres the math for you. Green = more damage than live, Red = less damage than live
- Proc Damage :: 15% + (3.75% per 100AP) Missing HP >>> (20-62.5 to 80-250) (+22.5-90% AP based on target % missing health)
