Miscellaneous

Skin bios added to the PBE in today's update:

Battlecast Nasus: "The latest monstrosity constructed by Viktor, Battlecast Nasus units specialize in the targeted retrieval of high-priority targets. As they hunt for their quarry, their machinery is programmed to learn and adapt, increasing their destructive capacity and empowering them to obliterate all that would stand in their way."
Battlecast Zac: "Never content with his extant creations, Viktor's latest innovation has forged an experimental alloy that shifts between liquid and solid states. Incredibly flexible yet nigh-indestructible, the new zoophagus assault constructs, or ZACs, spring onto the battlefield, harvesting and consuming any resistance that stands in their way."

Battlecast Zac missing chroma asset added (only five were on the PBE last week):

Context & Notes

WIP!

1) Riot Scruffy provided a preview of Patch 10.23 changes:

"10.23 Patch Preview - PRESEASON!

It's a big preseason, so much is changing that we don't have our typical champion buffs and nerfs.

We'll be watching everything very closely after Preseason ships to be ready for hotfixing bugs, items, and champions that we need to."
