"Hey PBE Folks!

In the middle of a team fight or after a Blitz pull, it can be tough to keep track of your champion. We're working on a small feature which displays a self-only visual effect when you press and hold spacebar (or whatever your "center camera" hotkey is set to).

We’re looking to get feedback on our current approach, so on PBE, this feature will be on by default for all players. Very interested to hear your thoughts on visual quality, readability, and usefulness. Is it too loud? Does it get in your way? Do you not even notice it?

It'll be available soon, so try it out and let us know what you think."

Miscellaneous

New "NA 2016" Summoner's Rift decorations added.
