In LoL (League of Legends) it’s finally here – the first patch on the PBE server is here and brings a lot of news.
Among other things, the year 2016 starts on the test servers of League of Legends with new skins for Nidalee, Wukong, Caitlyn, and Morgana. Because the “Winter Joys” will soon come to an end, preparations are underway for the next event.
Challenger Nidalee
This new Nidalee skin is a “legacy skin” and will therefore only be available for a short time in the shop. You can get it for the regular 975 Riot Points in the LoL shop.
Radiant Wukong
A luminous monkey king – yes, that’s supposed to exist too. This anime-styled skin will be available for 1350 Riot Points in the shop soon.
Lunar Wraith Caitlyn
This refers to the woman with pink hair. This new skin for Caitlyn is also a “legacy skin” and will be available for a limited time in the shop. This skin costs 1350 Riot Points.
Lunar Wraith Morgana
The sitting woman with purple hair is meant. Although this will also be a legacy skin, you will get it, like Nidalee, for 975 Riot Points in the shop.
According to the name, these skins will be released for the Lunar / Moon Festival event. The Wukong skin is probably offered additionally because 2016 is the “Year of the Monkey” according to Chinese astrology. Additionally, there will be 4 new LoL summoner icons for the event.
When does the new champion selection start?
On Twitter, Jeffrey “RiotLyte” Lin revealed that shortly after patch 6.1 a test will start on the servers for North America and Turkey to see if everything is running stably. After that, the new champion selection for LoL will be activated globally.
And the new champion?
Since nothing about a new champion was mentioned in this PBE cycle this means that the champion can only appear earliest next week. The hype train unfortunately has to make another stop.
“… choo choo …”
