Lucha Poro Ward Skin

While we first previewed the upcoming Lucha Poro Ward skin in the 5/17 update, here's an updated video now that it has sounds!


/remake coming soon to the PBE 

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!
"Hi everyone, 
/Remake is now live on PBE - Socrates gave a good run down of the feature here. /Remake isn't fully complete yet, so expect the following things to be added:
  • 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.

[LCU] May 18th Update - Profile.

As the League Client Update continues 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 background 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.

Balance Changes
