Nyt Kha'Zix skin og Cassiopeia rework

Der ser ud til at være sandhed (pun intended) i de rygter, der har været om et sand-tema skin, der ville komme til Kha'Zix. Der er netop i nat blevet udgivet en stribe ændringer på testserveren (PBE), hvor der udover et nyt skin til Kha'Zix også er opdateringer til Cassiopeia og Renekton samt ny splash art til Akali. Dertil kommer, at Xerath har fået tilføjet nogle nye linjer i hans VO, som lyder til at være forbundet med den kommende gamemode, Ascension.

Guardian of the Sands Kha'Zix hedder det næste skin til den versatile insektchampion.
Skinnet kan ses herunder både som still og i aktion:

Cassiopeia fået nye textures til hendes standard skin samt tre af de andre skins, Desperada, Siren og Mythic:

Hendes abilities er også blevet justeret en smule, og hendes passive er blevet lavet helt om. Her er ændringerne i hendes kit:

(Passive) Aspect of the Serpent

New passive: Cassiopeia gains a stack of Aspect of the Serpent for each second that an enemy champion is poisoned and for each poisoned unit that she kills. Her ability power is increased by 1% for every 25 stacks, up to a max of 375 stacks.
At 50 stacks, Twin Fang now heals Cassiopeia for 6/8/10/12/16 (+0.1 ability power)
At 150 stacks, Cassioepeia gains 30% CDR
At 375 stacks, the AP bonus from Aspect of the Serpent is doubled.

(Q) Noxious Blast

Provides Cassiopeia more movement speed later in the game but, in turn, deals less damage.
Damage: 70/105/140/175/210 (+0.35 ability power)
Movement speed: 10/15/20/25/30%
Cooldown: 4 seconds
Mana cost: 40/45/50/55/60
Delay increased by 0.05 seconds

(W) Miasma

Now a notably more powerful slow tool but has a higher cooldown and deals less damage.
Damage per second: 10/15/20/25/30 (+0.1 ability power)
Cooldown: 15 seconds
Mana cost: 40/50/60/70/80
Slow: 15/22.5/30/37.5/45%

(E) Twin Fang

Is now MUCH more reliable when checking for poisoned targets and has a higher AP ratio later in the game. Also, now grants mana upon killing a unit.
Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+0.4/0.45/0.5/0.55/0.6 ability power)
Mana cost: 30/45/60/75/90
Utility: Now refunds its mana cost plus an additional 3% of Cassiopeia's total mana when it kills a unit.
Usability: Now has additional checks in place to see if target was poisoned.

(R) Petrifying Gaze

Lower cooldown, but also slightly lower damage.
Damage: 150/250/350 (+0.5 ability power)
Cooldown: 120/110/100

Dermed får Cassiopeia altså et væsentligt stærkere kit, især i lategame, hvor hun kan ramme 375 stacks på hendes passive og nå op i nærheden af 1000 AP.

0 stacks (og 50 AP):

375 stacks (og 731 AP):
De tre niveauer af stacks repræsenteres også visuelt af lysende ringe, der spinner om Cassiopeia:

Det ser således ud, når hun rammer max stacks med sit nye kit:

Renekton har også fået en mindre opdatering, men der er blot tale om nye textures til hans forskellige skins (Classic, Outback, Galactic og Bloodfury).
