Ascension returns for PBE testing

Riot Stephiroth

"Hello, Summoners!

Ascension is our next mode to make it into the League Client Update, and is ready for testing!

For Ascension in-game, there have only been a few minor updates:

Added a unique icon for the Xerath Boss (he's not a dragon anymore!)

Added a timeline event to Replays for when Xerath Boss is killed. (Now you can find your sweet highlights around him :D)

Minor bug fixes for various need champs ^_^

For Ascension in-client, there are a few known issues we are working out:

Placeholder art. Currently all the art is Twisted Treeline art :P We should have some updated assets sometime later this week!

Placeholder music and/or no music in Matchmaking or Game Select. We should have updates for this as well sometime this week!

For RGM modes in general, we also have a few fixes we are looking to ship live w/ Ascension the mode:

It should be more obvious when banning phase has started, with an audio cue (this is not in yet)

It should be more obvious when it's time to pick champions, with an audio cue (this is not in yet)

If you find any bugs, feel free to drop a comment here or report them via the Report A Bug Tool!

If you have any feedback, also feel free to drop it here :3

Happy Holidays, Summoners!"
