Wow. Just wow.

 Spoiler

I loled at the part where this E charge still has AP scaling.

New skins have been found on the latest PBE build.

Dat Axe Mundo skin...

It's called "Rageborn Mundo"

EDIT : There's a string for a Zyra skin called "Zyra PH 2" but there's also a string for a Draven skin called <skin2> Draven, so take that for what you will.

Greek cassiopeiaa... Hory shet it looks so sick. @.@

Got one game of the new Xin Zhao done on PBE, and he's what things look like:

 Spoiler

Xin Zhao's information page has been updated:

-New Passive: Challenge - Xin's auto-attacks and E charge reduce the target's armor by 15% for 3 seconds. It appears as the Demacian emblem over the target. Only one champion can be affected by the Challenge debuff at a time.

-Three Talon Strike now has the cooldown reduction that was originally in Battle Cry's active. AD ratio has been increased, still have yet to figure out the new ratio though, and it retains the 3 hits + knockup on the 3rd hit.

-Battle Cry's new passive is his heal every 3 attacks, i.e. his old passive, has a 0.7 AP modifier, and the passive AS has been removed. The active no longer has the cooldown reduction for each attack, as it has been moved to TTS, and now gives fixed AS buff for 5 seconds.

-E charge is still the same, aside from the interaction with his new passive.

-R ult now has a knockback. Grants 20 armor and MR for each champion struck. Champions that have his passive debuff are not knockbacked. Now has a Fixed damage + 1.0 bonus AD modifier + 15% current health.

The new interace of the players that have accepted the queue reeks of the Dungeon Finder from World of Warcraft for some reason.

I foresee something about separating the good Xin players from the great Xin players coming regarding how Crescent Sweep interacts with Challenge.

I'm 80% sure Sona was tweaked this patch but I'm not sure what was changed.

EDIT : TTS has a 150% bonus ad ratio at rank 3

Another minor change of note: Ionic Spark now shows the current number of charges until the passive proc as a buff.

And gold items show amount of gold earned.

Like the Xin changes!
Hate how two of his skills STILL HAVE AP RATIOS!

Granted, I can see lulzy stuff happening with having decent+ AP, due to his W Passive having AP scaling.

But AP Xin is totally legit now!

Since everyone is now excited about XZ, this (old) video is now relevant once more!

Oddly enough, the new Xin playstyle hasn't changed much, so most of the things applicable to the video will work with the new Xin.

But AP Xin is totally legit now!

That's the funny part. AP Xin will heal like 108935 every 3 attacks.
Combo it with ATK SPD and he'll never die!

Guinsoo's + Gunblade anyone? Massive self-heals lol.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]My body is ready for ap Xin Zhao. Also, Zyra's skills if no one has seen them, along with her new skin. [video=youtube;sVYGn4BYquw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVYGn4BYquw&feature=g-u-u[/video]

Everything in this patch is pretty much amazing. Stealth remake, xin zhao remake, afk detection in champ select, ghost minion/champion/etc. on d/c fixed, a new champ that isnt a masculine top-laner, xerath fixes. People are running out of things to peach about. And troll picks.

You don't know how mad excited I am to try ap xin. I've always wanted to try an ap attack speed build on a character.

His main damage dealing skills don't scale on AP. Audacious Charge isn't for the damage.

AP and attack speed are good on Teemo.
