Preseason continues testing on the PBE this cycle! Riot Scruffy noted what was being added to the PBE in today's update:
"Preseason PBE update today
-Quick access inventory (functional but unpolished)-"Good against champion" - this is about 50% of what we will eventually show
At this point as you use new shop on PBE, are there any other big things that make it hard to browse?"
Miscellaneous
- The K/DA ALL OUT chromas and K/DA ALL OUT Kai'Sa Prestige edition are now in the PBE shop and available for testing.

Context & Notes
1) Riot KateyKhaos noted they wouldn't be able to make changes to K/DA ALL OUT Evelynn's hair:
[1] "An update re: K/DA ALL OUT Evelynn's hair. After discussion + investigation with the team, it is not feasible to style her hair to reflect what Eve's promotional piece has. We do see the discrepancy and apologize that this isn't what you were expecting, based on teasers + splash."
[2] "This is due to both rig + animation limitations - her rig lacks the bones for a long, flowly hair style + this style would cause significant clipping throughout many of her animations, none which could be minimized without legendary-tier animation work - essentially new animation"
[3] "This was a difficult call on our part, but we wanted to provide clear updates as we get Evelynn and the other K/DA ladies ready for their main performance."
She also tweeted and upcoming change for Evelynn's R:
We're updating K/DA ALL OUT Evelynn's R crit indicator because it was still using base VFX. The design is based off of her lashers. pic.twitter.com/Z41vqWTatW

2) Here's Riot Katana with a quick tweet on the various features of Seraphine's ultimate skin:
[1] "Hey all, thanks for the feedback on all things K/DA! Since Seraphine just hit PBE yesterday but not everyone can play her, here is the list of the features on her Ultimate skin. [1/2]"
[2] "Each Form has unique VFX, animations (recall, dance), an animated splash in the Client, VO (some overlap and some unique per Form), SFX, and a new reactive music system based on how many allies are nearby (each Form of Seraphine has a different track) [2/2]"
[3] "There are a few other custom animations for specific Forms too, like idles for Rising Star and Homeguard (ft. Bao) for Indie. Again, let us know if you have feedback or questions here or on the r/LeaguePBE subreddit!"
3) On the topic of this PBE iteration of Yone and Yasuo's passive, EndlessPillows tweeted:
[1] "Ya we have tried both ends of the spectrum here.At +150% crit (Two items needed) the builds were locked to just Mythic + IE because the value of the crit multiplier is so high.At +66% crit (Three items needed) the spikes were not powerful enough, and they came too late. (1/2) "
[2] "Three items only also locked out a lot of items that used to be available that now have crit on them.The goal with this version is to make the spikes closer to what players expect, while also opening up the build options. (2/2)"
