El Leon Gnar will be 750 RP* and includes –

New model and texture for not only Mundo, but for his weapons!

“El Rayo Volibear takes down his opponents in a flash! He was made with a lightning motif on his fur to match his theme!
Completely new model! (Luchador themed attire!)
Set to be 750 RP* (pricing always subject to change)
As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on the new El Rayo Volibear skin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]
See you on the Rift!”
New Ward Skin
To go along with the new skins we also have a new El Poro Ward skin!
El Poro Ward

New Summoner Icons

Updated Nidalee Skin Splash Arts
Following Tristana and Trundle in recent patches, the 6.11 PBE cycle includes updated skin splash arts for Nidalee!
While we’ve seen strings appear on the PBE in previous cycles, here’s RiotNeuroCat with more info on the recently announced remake option that is heading to the PBE for testing in preparation for a live test on NA during 6.11!
Hextech crafting items will not be given out for remade games when the feature goes live
Match History will more clearly indicate when a particular game was remade
We’ll be adding a clearer explanation post-game for high-tier players who take a loss
If you have an AFK in your game, please take the opportunity to test /remake and give us some feedback. Let us know if you have any questions!”
You can try out /remake in game by typing “/remake” in chat after any player has been dc’d or flagged as afk for at least 90 seconds at the three minute mark of the game and there has not been a first blood.
RGMQ Testing: Hexakill: Twisted Treeline
[Turned off on 5/25 for LotPK testing, leaving up for reference on new changes!]
Here’s RiotStephiroth with more info on Hexakill: TT, which is now available on the PBE for testing:
“Heya guys! ^__^v
Hexakill: Twisted Treeline is back, and ready for action!
We’ve made a small tweak since this mode was last live:
New Altar Functionality (note: This was listed in last time’s notes, however this change did not make it to live)
Passive: The Altar buff now provides a “Chalice-style” Mana Regeneration
1 Altar captured: +10 % movespeed
2 Altars captured: Minions spawn with +15% HP and damage
We also have some bug fixes:
Fixed a bug where Mordekaiser W was not properly giving EXP on Twisted Treeline. (This also applies to normal Twisted Treeline, not just Hexakill!)
[WILL BE ON TOMORROW] Fixed a bug where Kindred cannot hunt the 6th champion in the game.
We also did some minor particle clean-up on the Altars, however if we did everything right, you won’t notice anything at all. 🙂
As always, thanks for playing our modes and helping us squash bugs. <3 If you see a bug, feel free to report here! And if you have feedback, drop a comment below.”
Miscellaneous
A new Hextech Mystery Champion Shard has been added to the shop. This new item is available for IP or RP (tentative IP price is 1700) and grants one random champion shard. Assuming all goes well with testing,they aim to launch this in 6.11!
Cloud Drake’s dragon pit wall color has been changed.
The personalized shop is mysteriously back on the PBE! It is now just called “Your shop”. The top of the shop lists an end dates, which has changed over the course of this pbe cycle.
While not enabled for testing yet, A new “Center Camera Highlight” option has been added. It appears this will put a glow around your character whenever you use a hot key to center the camera on your champion. Here’s a brief preview video of the effect in action, although the option to enable/disable it hasn’t been added in-game on the PBE yet – soon!

[LCU] May 18th Update – Profile.
As theLeague Client Updatecontinues to test on the PBE, the update profile page now working on the PBE LCU! Here’s CapnBranFlakes with more information:
“===UPDATE: 18 MAY 2016===
Hi League client update PBE testers!
We shared some information yesterday about a preview of the Profile page — it’s now accessible on the PBE alpha client, and still just as barebones as mentioned in that link. Reminder! We’ll roll out more fleshed-out Profile pages in the coming weeks, so until then, please continue to keep your testing focused on Summoner’s Rift and ARAM.
Thanks again for joining us on the frontline!”
Here’s a few pictures of the updated profile page, which is still very much a WIP!
While the back ground will change based on recently frequently played champions, using an ultimate skin icon will switch your background to an animated version of that skin – Examples: Spirit Guard Udyr, DJ Sona, Pulsefire Ezreal.
The PBE LCU is open to all PBE testers, see [this thread] for more information on how to get started with testing as well as known issues and updates! Sign ups for the LIVE (not PBE) LCU Alpha can be found here.
League Client Update Alpha PBE Testing
League Client Update Alpha has returned to PBE! With this, the League Client Update Alpha is open to all PBE testers! Please see [this thread] for information on how to download the updated client, known issues, and more. Both Summoner’s Rift and ARAM are now available for testing with PBE LCU Alpha!
Here’s a small gallery of screenshots now that the LCU Alpha is back up on the PBE:

Secondo quanto riportato da LEC Wooloo su Upcomer, il Team BDS sarebbe pronto a rivoluzionare il proprio roster in vista del prossimo split. A farne le spese saranno Adam e LIMIT, rispettivamente toplaner e supporto della squadra elvetica.
I due sembrano non aver convinto la dirigenza, che li sposterà nel Team BDS Academy, squadra cadetta che milita attualmente in LFL. Un passo indietro piuttosto importante per il giovane Adam, che sembrava essere una delle nuove stelle del competitivo europeo.
ADVERTISEMENT
Chiaramente parliamo ancora di rumors non ufficiali, ma difficilmente ciò che è riportato da Wooloo poi si rivela falso o senza fondamento.
Il Team BDS si prepara per il prossimo split della LEC
Spazio ai rookie
Lo spring split 2022 della LEC non è stato particolarmente ricco di soddisfazioni per il Team BDS, che non è riuscito a trovare un suo stile di gioco. La squadra ha chiuso il campionato al nono posto, davanti agli Astralis di solo un punto.
Molti avevano grosse aspettative per questo roster, composto per tre quinti da quei Karmine Corp che avevano dominato l’EU Masters nel 2021. Purtroppo le cose non sono andate nel verso giusto, ed anche Adam non è riuscito a dare quel quid in più al suo team.
ADVERTISEMENT
Proprio per questi motivi sopracitati, la dirigenza dei BDS ha deciso di dare una scossa al roster. Secondo quanto riportato da LEC Wooloo, infatti, Adam e LIMIT non saranno più i titolari nel prossimo split. Agresivoo ed Erdote sono pronti a prendere il loro posto, lasciando la LFL per fare il grande salto.
Nonostante tutto, però, Adam e LIMIT non lasceranno la galassia dei BDS, ma saranno retrocessi proprio nel Team BDS Academy in cui militano Agresivoo ed Erdote. Sarà la mossa giusta per rialzare le sorti della squadra? Al momento è difficile dirlo, ma onestamente non crediamo che sia facile ricostruire la sinergia di un roster da zero in un periodo così breve di off-season.
Si è creato un vero e proprio caso, a cui però Riot ha voluto rispondere attraverso un articolo molto tecnico e complesso. Questo ha voluto fugare tutti i dubbi dei tifosi e delle squadre, ponendo (si spera) fine alla questione una volta per tutte.

Andiamo a leggere alcune dichiarazioni dei tecnici di Riot, cercando di sintetizzare e rendere semplici alcuni concetti difficili da capire.
Il “ping artificiale” del MSI 2022
Antefatto
Se in questo giorni non avete seguito la querelle legata al “ping artificiale” del MSI 2022, facciamo un breve riassunto dei fatti. I campioni della LPL, gli RNG, non si sono potuti fisicamente recarsi a Busan (sede del torneo) a causa di varie ragioni che hanno a che fare con il COVID e le restrizioni poste in campo dal governo di Pechino.
La squadra, una volta tornata in patria, avrebbe dovuto rispettare ben 21 giorni di quarantena, un periodo di tempo che non avrebbe permesso al team di prepararsi correttamente per lo split della LPL e per gli Asian Games 2022 (successivamente rinvitati).
ADVERTISEMENT
Gli RNG sono una delle squadre più importanti del mondo, non averla al MSI 2022 avrebbe reso il torneo meno entusiasmante da guardare, come dichiarato anche da Ocelote (proprietario dei G2 Esports). Per ovviare a questo problema, Riot ha deciso di far giocare la squadra da remoto.
Questa cosa, però, avrebbe creato una condizione di disparità importante tra gli RNG ed i team presenti a Busan, in quanto questi ultimi avrebbero giocato con una latenza nettamente inferiore. Per garantire l’integrità competitiva e delle condizioni paritarie per tutti, Riot ha deciso d’introdurre un “ping artificiale” di 35ms comune a tutti a team.
Benché l’intenzione fosse la migliore, la realizzazione ha lasciato a desiderare. Molte squadre hanno esplicitamente dichiarato di giocare su una latenza maggiore di 35, portando Riot ad aprire delle indagini. Dopo le verifiche del caso, l’azienda ha trovato il problema ed ha preso una decisione difficile: far rigiocare tutte le partite del girone d’andata agli RNG.
ADVERTISEMENT
Questa cosa ha creato non pochi problemi e non poche lamentele, in primis proprio dagli RNG. Per rispondere a queste critiche e chiudere definitivamente la cosa, Riot ha fornito delle ulteriori spiegazioni.
E’ sempre colpa dei bug
Nell’articolo pubblicato sul sito di LoL Esports, i tecnici hanno spiegato per filo e per segno come avrebbe dovuto funzionare il “ping artificiale” del MSI 2022. Purtroppo, però, un bug si è insinuato nel codice del software che genera questa latenza. Di fatto, i team presenti a Busan, hanno giocato con un ping variabile tra i 50 ed 55ms, subendo anche un fenomeno di packet loss.
“Mentre i giocatori in Cina avevano un ping di 35 ms, a Busan era più alto. Sfortunatamente il problema non è stato rilevato fino all’inizio dell’evento. Non abbiamo rilevato prima il problema perché era presente un bug nel codice e questo calcolava male la latenza, quindi anche i valori nei nostri log erano sbagliati. Di conseguenza, il nostro monitoraggio è continuato e i test precedenti hanno mostrato che tutto funzionava correttamente, anche se la realtà era diversa.”
Dopo una fase a gruppi priva di emozioni, che ci ha consegnato ben tre squadre imbattute, tutto è pronto per dare il via al rumble stage del MSI 2022. Infatti Riot ha reso nota la schedule ufficiale dell’evento, mostrandoci i match che vedremo a partire da venerdì 20.
Si inizia subito fortissimo, con i G2 Esports ed i T1 che si affronteranno nel match inaugurale. Ma per i campioni della LEC le fatiche non finiscono qui, perché nello stesso giorno dovranno affrontare anche i fortissimi Royal Never Give Up.
