Ascension Up for PBE Testing

As part of the rotating game mode queue testing, Ascension is now back on the PBE for testing!
Here's Riot Stephiroth with more information:
"Hello Summoners! ^o^ 
We have enabled Ascension for testing on PBE! 
Updates: 
1. We have updated the textures on Crystal Scar! (Middle platform is now 10% more Shurima! :P) 
2. We have updated some items like the Relics you capture on Ascension 
Known Bugs: 
1. On low and very low settings, the ground textures become corrupted -- We are working on this! 
2. Under some circumstances, Xerath may become unkillable :( We are working on this! If you find a specific repro for this, please comment on this thread! 
If you have any other bugs or feedback to report, feel free to post them here! 
May the glory of Shurima be preserved!"

Here's a gallery of screenshots!
