"Summoners! We've got some exciting stuff slated for Snowdown this year, and we'd love for you to check it out on PBE. Snow Battle ARURF ARURF is back, baby! And it brought some winter goodness along for the ride. Summoner Spells:

Flash: The same old Flash you know and love, now with a 60s cooldown

Ultra (Rapidly Flung) Mark // Ultra (Really Fast) Dash: All that exercise has paid off -- champions can now throw snowballs really, really, really far. Who needs teleport when you can do this every 16 seconds: Oh, and do you love Poros? Well, you'll be glad to know that you can now throw them at your foes in both Snow Battle ARURF and regular ol' ARAM. Just slap on a poro icon, and you'll be on your way. All the old poros are back: And they'll be joined by two new poros, Reindeer Poro and Baron Poro! New Champion Pool:

It's cold out on the Rift! Most everybody's inside by the fire, but all the champions who can bear the chill are still around to do battle.

All champions with a Snow Day, ice, frost, cold, or winter skin are available to play -- and their icy skins are locked in for you, whether you already own them or not! Poro King It's the same Poro King you know and love. And the same poros, too! Snow Battle ARURF isn't going to replace classic ARURF -- it'll only be around for the winter, so jump in while you can. Stay warm, have a fantastic Snowdown, and check out the modes on PBE! We're turning on Poro King today, and Snow Battle ARURF should follow soon™. -- Popc0rner"

Preseason Healthbar Update v3 Here's Rayven , back with more info on the still in progress

"How do you do, fellow kids? We’re back with another iteration on the healthbar update based on feedback. Let’s review what we’re trying to achieve here: Feels

- Familiar, but better (no relearning, no change to things like last hitting)

- Game to game differences, not moment to moment

- Interacting with objectives is more satisfying

- Interacting with defensive windows is more satisfying (heals, shreds, etc)

- Bodying fools feels better than ever. Gameplay

- Easier to track the flow of a fight.

- More intuitive play/counterplay around defensive windows.

- More intuitive play/counterplay around unique mechanics (extra life, unstoppable, etc).

- Huge clarity gains when spectating and watching streams. V3 Changelist

- Ammo resources like Jhin, Corki, Annie have the same treatment as Live.

- Lots of color tweaks and some sizing tweaks.

- Lots of animation tweaks.

- Tower burst, shake, and death animations are in.

- Option to turn off shake animation coming this week.

- Baron’s healthbar now stays in place rather than bouncing all over.

- Resurrecting state improvements. Future Stuff

- Healing over time

- Damage over time

- Color code objective takes

- Kill streaking

- Stealth state Lookee Lookee

Here’s a spiffy video which shows the changes in a real game setting. Note, there’s a few spectator bugs here such as dragon health is grey, etc. Try to ignore those <.<

As always, we're still looking for feedback as you guys dive into the changes. Thanks!"
