Preseason 2023 PBE Testing

Preseason 2023 is now testing on the PBE! Looking for a full rundown on changes? Check out this article:
"Preseason 2023 changes will begin hitting PBE tomorrow! Before they’re out, we wanted to walk you through all of the changes you can expect to see roll out to PBE over the next few weeks. We’re shipping them a bit early this year to give us time to test changes and gather your feedback, so make sure you get those games in because there’s plenty to try out! 
Housekeeping note: Things will be in a pretty early state when you first see them, so expect changes to things like icons, item and effect names, visual and sound effects, stat values, and more as we continue to test features during PBE. Barring massive table-flips, this preview page won't be updated after publishing. When the patch notes come out, they'll have all the final details as usual."

Champion Skins

Six skins are now on the PBE for testing!

Bewitching Anivia

1350 RP
Enchanted by Leblanc herself, Anivia flies along with a coven of witches, shrouding the night sky in darkness and chaos. Though she was once an ordinary bat, Leblanc sensed the spirit of the season in her; now she helps to spread terror to the children below and glee to the partygoers who follow her flight.

Here's 6armedrobot with a bugs & feedback thread for Bewitching Anivia:

Bewitching Cassiopeia

1350 RP
Cassiopeia found herself on the receiving end of a potion gone wrong when a venomous viper slithered into her bubbling cauldron. No longer able to ride her broom, she skulks about the party, hoping to catch the eyes of unsuspecting socialites. With the tail of a snake came... its appetite.

Bewitching LeBlanc

1350 RP
Everyone shares spooky stories of Leblanc, the host of this year's celebration! It's said she delights in causing misery; she can turn any Jack-o'-lantern's smile upside down. But there's a softer side to her as well, one she tries to keep hidden, even from herself.

Bewitching Neeko

1350 RP
Neeko never remembers to buy a costume for the yearly festivities. Her delightful disguises come courtesy of her transfigurative talents and shapeshifting spells. Wait... are there two Nidalees at this party? Nope. That's just Neeko, pulling one of her classic pranks.

Here's Riot Eneopa with a bugs & feedback thread for Bewitching Neeko:

Bewitching Senna

1350 RP
When she was just a young witch, a warlock bound Senna's soul to a tome of spells, hoping to rid himself of her rising power. But her time spent disembodied only made her stronger. While others party, the overly serious Senna searches for ghouls and ghosts, planning to send them to the grave... again.

Here's 6armedrobot with a bugs & feedback thread for Bewitching Senna:

Three Honors Malzahar

Honor 5 Reward
As the Order of Solace's leader, Malzahar wants to extend a gentle, guiding hand to all. It was only by following the tenets of the Three Honors that he was able to escape from a pit of cynicsim, and while apathy may reign supreme, Malzahar will do whatever it takes to build a better world.
