Showcase Milestones

Riot will not document Showcase Milestone tracks in patch notes but has explained how the system will work. To celebrate the occasion, the rewards for Eclipse Knights are a little sweeter than what future showcases will have on offer.

LAUNCH PARTY :: When the Showcase begins, everyone will get a mission that rewards 1 Eclipse 2022 Capsule (which counts toward the reward track!) and 1 Eclipse 2022 Grab Bag! This is in addition to the normal free mission chain that launches during Showcase events.

• 1 CAPSULE :: Eclipse Knight 2022 Icon
• 3 CAPSULES :: Prestige Eclipse Knight Senna Emote + 5 Mythic Essence
• 5 CAPSULES :: Random Eclipse 2022 Epic Skin Permanent (Lunar Eclipse Aatrox, Lunar Eclipse Senna, Solar Eclipse Sejuani, Sun-Eater Kayle) + 15 Mythic Essence
• 10 CAPSULES : Random Eclipse 2022 Epic Skin Permanent + 20 Mythic Essence
• 15 CAPSULES :: Random Eclipse 2022 Epic Skin Permanent + 25 Mythic Essence
• 20 CAPSULES :: Random Eclipse 2022 Epic Skin Permanent + Eclipse 2022 Grab Bag + 30 Mythic Essence
• 25 CAPSULES :: 2 Eclipse 2022 Grab Bags + 30 Mythic Essence

Prestige Lunar Eclipse Senna

[c] Prestige Lunar Eclipse Senna will be available in the Mythic Shop for 125 ME for the duration of the Eclipse Knights Showcase. (Conveniently, completing the Eclipse 2022 Showcase Milestone track grants 125 ME.) After that, she'll be unavailable for direct ME purchase but will be added to loot drop and reroll pools without her debut loading screen border.

Bugfixes & QoL Changes

• Nexus turrets with active Objective Bounties will now correctly have bounty healthbar indicators and display bounty information in chat when pinged
• Fixed the bug where Nexus hitboxes were unintentionally larger than they appeared
• Fixed a rare bug that would permanently reduce a turret's resistances if certain conditions were met when plating fell
• Being in an enemy turret's range with an enemy Sion, Kog'Maw, or Karthus passive zombie as it dies will no longer make that turret's aggro switch to you
• Ghost Poros have been restored and will once again grant normal vision, NOT true sight
• [UPD] QoL Change: Illaoi's E - Test of Spirit will now grant assist credit, even if the Vessel does not take any damage
• Fixed a bug where, if you casted Illaoi's Q - Tentacle Smash during her E - Test of Spirit animation or while she was locked out of her abilities (e.g. in stasis), she would instantly change direction to face your cursor
• Fixed a bug where Vessels spawned from Illaoi's E - Test of Spirit would be invisible if the tethered champion was camouflaged and being revealed by a control ward
• Fixed some strange Vessel interactions that would sometimes benefit Illaoi's enemies upon expiring, like healing them if they had Omnivamp... :3
• Fixed a bug where Illaoi's W - Harsh Lesson-empowered basic attacks would not trigger nearby Tentacles to slam her target if she had an active spell shield
• Fixed the bug where Taliyah would not be able to use her Passive - Rock Surfing for the rest of the game if someone broke her Banshee's Veil spell shield while she was Rock Surfing again
• Fixed a bug where, if an enemy champion got DUNKED by Sett's R - The Show Stopper into Tahm Kench's R - Devour, they would first reappear at the original Devour point before quickly sliding to the actual Regurgitate destination
• Fixed an uncommon bug where Viego could become permanently attached to an ally champion if he possessed Yuumi under certain conditions
• Sona will no longer be able to reset her basic attacks against wards by casting an ability when she has full stacks of Passive - Power Chord
• Fixed a bug where, if Elise casted E - Rappel on herself while an enemy champion was right next to her, she would ascend and immediately descend upon on them despite not having recasted the ability
• Fixed a bug where, if you spammed Pantheon's Q - Comet Spear or Sett's E - Facebreaker while the ability was on cooldown, it would sometimes cancel your attacks and movements
• Black Cleaver's passive interactions have been fixed so that you will correctly gain only one stack of Carve per basic attack, even if you purchased Titanic Hydra first
• Lulu's interactions with Spellthief's Edge and Spectral Sickle have been fixed so she will once again receive a stack of Tribute whenever Passive - Help, Pix! damages an enemy champion, too
• Rengar will no longer receive a Navori Quickblades stack upon hitting a plant with a Q - Savagery-empowered basic attack
• Axiom Arc's passive has been fixed and will correctly grant Tahm Kench partial refunds on his R - Devour for scoring takedowns
• Fixed a bug where Teemo couldn't gain Manamune stacks if he had ranked up E - Toxic Shot at least once. Unfortunately, this bug did not make Teemo players any less toxic.
• Fixed a bug where the Ornn Masterwork items Caesura and Eternal Winter did not grant the correct amounts of AP
• Fixed a bug where certain skillshots would not play their hit confirmation SFX if they hit a target in Fog of War (e.g. Ahri's Q - Orb of Deception passthrough sound)
• Nocturne's R - Paranoia VO volume has been fixed and is no longer much louder than intended
• Ivern and his friends are on speaking terms again (his jungle camp VO lines have been restored)
