[Updated] 11/13 PBE Update: Updated Nasus Splash, New Icons, and more tentative balance changes.

Posted on at 11:37 AM by Moobeat
Update: Sweeping Lens now has a small cast range instead of just being right on top of your character.

The PBE Has been updated with several new goodies! Nasus has received an update to his base splash art and the eye color of his in game model, several new icons have been added, an update to Ahri's R indicator, and there is a new mess of tentative balance changes and tooltip updates.
Continue reading for more info.

(Warning: PBE Content is tentative and iterative - what you see may not reflect what eventually gets pushed to live servers! Manage your expectations accordingly. )

Updated Nasus Splash Art

Nasus has had his base splash art updated to better reflect his in-game model. You'll notice he is much less feral looking ( and looks significantly less like Warwick. )



To match this, Nasus' eyes are now blue instead of red.

New Item Icons

New icons for Taisman of Ascension, Youmuu's, Ancient Coin, and Wooglet's

New Smite Icon



Mastery Icon's filled out

Seems the new masteries have been filled out with the new icons instead of the missing ones having shields.

Ahri R particle

The indicator that pops up around Ahri's feet when she still has charges of her R left has been updated



Sweeping Lens Cast Range

Sweeping Lens now has a small cast range instead of only being able to be cast right on top of your character.
Here's sweeping len's new cast range
