WIP!

1) Riot Stellari tweeted upcoming tweaks to the shared Pool Party splash coming soon:

[1] "On PBE Soon™ - Some small tweaks to the Pool Party splash (old=left, new= right): fixed Zoe's eyes, polish on the faces, tweaks to make GP & Cait feel more prominent in the splash compared to the side characters (no one likes bees in the pool anyway, Beemo)."
