Skins
Dauntless Ahri received a name change and is now Challenger Ahri (click here for a better look at the skin). Meanwhile, quite a few balance and item changes are up on the PBE, including an overhaul on Renekton’s abilities.
Alistar & Base Changes
This section covers two changes that I didn’t post about last week. Alistar’s nose ring (click here for his full VU) and the new openings on each base.
The new wall openings on each base will be “an exploration of a ‘defender’s advantage.'”
You can’t see through them. Only one side can pass through them (enemies can’t pass through yours and you can’t pass theirs)
