Yet another update on PBE bringing some more new exciting content our way. This release is no exception and in some cases is more exciting than normal with 6 skins coming our way and Ashe getting a refurbishment of her kit.

Star Guardian Lux

Like Sailor Moon? I sure do, so when I saw this skin I could barely contain the excitement. The skin is 1350RP featuring a complete rework of Lux, all the bells and wistles. New particles, dance, back animation and of course a complete new model.

I love this skin so much, I don't play Lux at all but I will for this skin, Sailor Moon was a big time sink in my childhood and seeing this brings on some serious nostalgia for me. Not to mention just the look of the skin itself is fantastic, the remodel is awesome. The animations are all super cool, and the particles are breathtaking. Super happy with this skin.

Samsung White Skins

Seaon 4 World Finals winners Samsung White have finally gotten their skins. The champions they won the finals with have all received a Samsung White themed skin to celebrate the team winning the biggest League tournament in the world. Most of the skins are 750RP with the exception of Twitch and Thresh, who are 975RP.

(Rengar 750RP)

(Singed 750RP)

(Talon 750RP)

(Twitch 975RP)

(Thresh 975RP)

I always liked the fact that Riot made skins after the teams that win the finals. These skins are really cool looking. I am especially a fan of the Twitch back animation being him rolling on the floor, I laughed audibly at that. It's also awesome that Talon's blade particles were updated but they still kept his price at 750. Good Guy Rito!

Ashe

Ashe is getting a refurb to her kit in this update with her passive and q being changed and her W being updated, there are also some adjustments to her critical hit damage and also to her auto attack animation speed and attack speed.

Passive (Frost Shots): Ashe's Q slow has been moved to her passive and now it also scales with her level. She also now only lands a critical strike on enemies with her passive already on them, she will not land a crit ever if the passive is not on the enemy.

Q (Ranger's Focus): Ashe builds Focus stacks upto five times, when activated her attack speed is improved and her slow is also improved as well. When in flurry ashe will crit from her passive and lifesteal too. She will only apply on hit effect on the first hit though, so Blade of the Ruined King won't hit all the times the flurry does.

W (Volley): This remains unchanged for the most part it is on a lower cooldown earlier on, there are more arrows in the particle now. However the blocking has been improved so you can't score free damage through minions anymore.

E (Hawkshot): This no longer grants gold passively, but it's now a global ability. They have made it have ammo and changed the recharge rate to longer than the old cooldown.

R (Enchanted Crystal Arrow): Mostly unchanged, but they nerfed the AOE by making it her passive slow rather than a flat 50%.

These changes are very interesting, from what I have experienced the new Q and passive mechanics are really satisfying and they will make her a little more satisfying to play. The hawshot changes will make her really useful to check on enemy locations and the global vision could save someone from a gank. Her W was always annoying and unpredictable, with the weird issue on the blocking of the volley. I'm pretty happy with the changes and look forward to seeing how this translates to live.

That's all for this update the skins are all awesome and the Ashe update is definitely exciting. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for the next update.
