Cosmic Devourer Vladimir
"11/12 update: Hey Everyone! We are bumping up the Q slightly and are fixing the W bug, it shouldn't have a big hole in the middle of the pool. 
We are also giving Cosmic Vladimir a secondary title upon popular request: "Cosmic Devourer Vladimir" 
Thanks ya'll!!"

Cosmic Flight Anivia

"UPDATE 
Thank you all for the feedback! We were able to smooth out Cosmic Anivia's flight animation. She should gliding around SR with ease. We also added secondary titles to the 10.24 Cosmic skins. Changes should be rolling out to PBE starting tomorrow!"
Cosmic Invoker Illaoi
"UPDATE 
Thank you all for the feedback! We made a few SFX adjustments to her abilities, including a bit more oomph to her Tentacle Smash (Q), and made a small change to her hair to give it a bit more life. We also added secondary titles to the 10.24 Cosmic skins. Changes should be rolling out to PBE starting tomorrow!"

Dark Cosmic Lissandra

"UPDATE 
Thank you all for the feedback! We updated Dark Cosmic Lissandra's Frozen Tomb (R) to be a bit more impactful when cast on an enemy champion. We also added secondary titles to the 10.24 Cosmic skins. Changes should be rolling out to PBE starting tomorrow!"

Cosmic Sting Skarner

"11/12 update: Hey everyone! We will be changing the W VFX to become more like an exoskeleton due to feedback, thanks for helping!! We totally agree that it should be less like a karma shield and more inline with his other skin's W VFX!

We are also giving Skarner a secondary title upon popular request.

Stay tuned / check out PBE tomorrow or the next day to find out what it is!"
Cosmic Hunter Varus
"UPDATE 
Thank you all for the feedback! Unfortunately, his visit to the barber remains. We are, however, adding secondary titles to the 10.24 Cosmic skins. Changes should be rolling out to PBE starting tomorrow!"

Cosmic Huntress Nidalee 

"11/12 update: Hey everyone, sorry to disappoint but we are no going to remove the hood. We have very positive feedback on other media (and also some on here) that like it. Aside from that I don't have anything major to state. thanks and sorry again~"

Cosmic Charger Hecarim

"11/12 update: Hey everyone! We are giving Hecarim a secondary title upon popular request. 
Stay tuned / check out PBE tomorrow or the next day to find out what it is!"

Lyrics: 
On the low
Only love myself no more
Take you to the grave I'll ghost
I know I can be so cold 
In the dark
Where I like to keep my heart
Know I’m all bite no bark
Like to catch you way off guard 
I’ll stay so deep inside your brain
And take you somewhere far away 
Time to roll the dice
You know I’m the type
Type to risk my life
Not afraid to die
Type to make you cry
Type to put a price
All up on your head
Do just what I said 
Imma straight up villain
Straight up villain
Yeah no feeling
Yeah no feeling
Straight up villain
Straight up villain
Yeah no feeling
Yeah no feeling 
I’m alive
But I’m dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
Till you go pow 
Now is it really a surprise
If I’m playing with your mind
And I treat you like prize
Then I throw you to the side
And am I really that bad
If l love to make you mad
And get happy when you’re sad
Only care about a bag 
In control
That's how I like it
And I'm never letting go, nah
Never had a soul
So you ain't taking anything from me
When you go, nah 
I’m alive
But I’m dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
Till you go pow 
Bang bang
You can do anything
No fear no pain
Listen to your brain go
Go stupid go dumb go stupid and
Then we go insane woah
Just do what I say
Follow me I'll lead the way 
I’m alive
But I’m dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
Till you go pow

Miscellaneous

  • Riot Scruffy noted they were taking feedback on the preseason changes, and were looking into the ability to resize the shop: 
"So far the most common feedback we’re seeing for the new shop is wanting the option to resize it.
That feature is on our backlog so we’re hoping to get it out in the next few patches.
Keep the reactions coming, we’re playing, watching, and reading it all."
Making it so Ekko R no longer auto-acquires attack targets, forcing an AA on landing if his E is active. Will be in next patch.
  • Beardilocks noted a change to K/DA ALL OUT Akali's passive indicator:
"Based on feedback I changed the ears on Akali's passive to match her helmet:"
  • Riot KateyKhaos noted the Rising Star and Superstar animated splash arts would be available as profile backgrounds in 10.23:
"Hey! Just checked -- looks like the other two forms will be available as profile backgrounds in 10.23. (:"
  • Check out recent tweets from the K/DA twitter featuring Evelynn:
[1] "You simply can't believe all the gossip, darling.
