Shop Visual Update

DontHassleDaHoff

"Aloha!

We're making some visual changes to the store and wanted to give you a heads up before everything goes live. We made the whole package visually match the client, Champ Select, and Hextech Crafting, which means a few buttons and bars got moved. Most notably, you’ll see that the navigation bar has moved from its old spot on the left side of the store to the top (see below).

Other changes include:

A more streamlined navigation bar

A Gameplay menu featuring Runes and Boosts,

An Accessories menu, including Wards, Icons, Chests and Keys

A new Account Icon in the upper right, where name changes can be made

A new RP button (ohhh fancy) We hope you dig it. Let us know what you think. Thanks!"

Champions

[ NOTE : With today's two reverts, friendly reminder that Kog still has other changes on the PBE from an earlier update - attack speed growth up but removal of bonus attack speed passive on W, lower Q mana cost, and flat damage on W.]





Caustic Spittle (Q) armor/magic resist reduction reverted to 12/16/20/24/28% from 20/25/30/35/40%

armor/magic resist reduction to 12/16/20/24/28% from 20/25/30/35/40% Living Artillery (R) time between subsequent shots reverted to 10 seconds from 6

[ NOTE : Friendly reminder - the experimental R changes, including AoE damage and planting a flag in middle of R circle on use, are still on the PBE for testing!]

Dragon Strike (Q) mana cost reverted to 45/50/55/60/65 from 40/45/50/55/60

mana cost to 45/50/55/60/65 from 40/45/50/55/60 Golden Aegis (W) cooldown reduced to 12 seconds from 20/18/16/14/12

Permafrost (E) [previous PBE change REVERTED *. Permafrost is back to live functionality and no longer works with slows from allies.]

[ NOTE : Larger set of Q and W changes continue testing on the PBE this cycle - click here for a full overview!]

Starcall (Q)

Mana cost reduced to 50 at all ranks from 60.



Now increases duration of Alignment's buff on allies based on rank, duration increased to 3/3.5/4/4.5/5 seconds from 3 seconds.

[ NOTE : Since this is part of a larger set of changes - When Soraka has ALIGNMENT on her self (which she gains from landing Q on enemy champions), using W to heal an ally will buff them for a short duration. Ranking up Q now increases the time of the ally buff from 3 to 5 seconds, Soraka always has buff for 4 seconds.]
