New Skins

To kick off the 5.20 PBE cycle, we have three new 1350 tier skins for BrandKassadin, and Vi! While these new skins may seem spooky or out of this world, be aware they are NOT related to the Harrowing!

Spirit Fire Brand

1350 RP
  

Here's Galetta with a bugs & feedback thread for Spirit Fire Brand:
"Spirit Fire Brand will purify his enemies within a blazing inferno and and their souls will feed the flame! This skin includes:
  • New model and textures!
  • New recall animation!
  • New particles!
  • New spell and recall SFX!
This skin will be 1350RP. (pricing on PBE is subject to change) 
Your feedback and bug reports are extremely helpful to us, so please check out Spirit Fire Brand and let us know what you think! Feel free to drop any bugs you find in this thread as well! 
See you on the Rift!"

Cosmic Reaver Kassadin

1350 RP
  
[NOTE: While Cosmic Reaver Kassadin will be available on all servers, it is the regionally-inspired skin for OCE! Check out this post for more information.]

Here's Nurse Flan with a bugs & feedback thread for Cosmic Reaver Kassadin:
"From the infinite void of space, Cosmic Reaver Kassadin calls forth his power from the stars themselves! Your magic is powerless against him! 
Check out all his new cosmic, starry stuff!
  • Completely new model (starry cosmos dude!)
  • New particles for abilities! (oo, so sparkly)
  • New recall! (it's the Southern Cross constellation!)
  • New audio abilities (so spaaaceeeyyyy) 
1350RP * prices subject to change 
As players who get the first look at this in-progress skin, it would be wonderful to hear your thoughts and feelings on Cosmic Reaver Kassadin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]
See you on the Rift!"

Demon Vi

1350 RP
  

Here's Riot KateyKhaos with a bugs & feedback thread for Demon Vi:
"They'll never know what hit 'em when Demon Vi makes her way through the Rift! 
Let's get to the fun part! Demon Vi is 1350 RP* and includes -
  • New model and texture
  • New particles - including wings and a tail!
  • New sound effects
  • Voice processing
  • New recall animation 
Demon Vi is now available to play on PBE! Please note that PBE content is still a work in progress! We always find bug reports and feedback super helpful, as well as constructive feedback, so feel free to comment in the thread below! Likewise, if you've got any questions, post 'em here, and we'll do our best to answer them.

One For All: Summoner's Rift on the PBE!

One for All: Summoner's Rift, our very first game mode, is now back on the PBE for testing and will be returning to live in 5.20! Since the last time One for All: Summoner's Rift was live,  AzirBardKalistaTahm Kench and several other champions & reworks have all been released - just imagine the sort of shenanigans can five of each of those bring the returning game mode!

Here's L4T3NCY with more information on One for All: Summoner's Rift now that is back on the PBE as well as a listed of champions they'll be testing specifically on the PBE to get ready for live.
"Heya ^.^/ 
It’s been awhile since we saw the original One For All on Summoner’s Rift. A number of new champs have come out since its last run so we thought: why not bring back the OFA funtimes? :D 
A bit of trivia for those of you collecting random League knowledge: One For All was the very first featured game mode we ever made (almost 2 years ago this month!) o.O 
One For All is a 5v5 battle played on SR where everyone on your team uses the same champion, decided by a vote during champ select. Some champs have amazing synergy with themselves (Kalista? Kalista! :D) so enjoy exploring the possibilities. 
There’s been quite a few new champions (and many others reworked) since the last time we did OFA. We’d like some help from you guys specifically testing out the following champions here on PBE before the mode goes live. We’ll be temporarily disabling all other champions in OFA for the first few days on PBE, just to help focus the initial testing on these below champs. 
  • Azir
  • Bard
  • Brand
  • Darius
  • Kalista
  • Kassadin
  • Kennen
  • Kindred
  • Ekko
  • Fiora
  • Gangplank
  • Garen
  • Gnar
  • Morde
  • Mundo
  • Rek'Sai
  • Rumble
  • Ryze
  • Skarner
  • Tahm Kench
  • Tristana
  • Twitch
  • Vi
  • Zilean
To reiterate, when OFA goes live, ALL champions will be available to play. We’re just limiting the pool here on PBE to help focus testing on the newer script-worked champs. 
Thanks guys. Now to try out that matryoshka Tahm Kench. :D"
