  2. Glorified Gore – A new gore system has been added and each champion has received a unique gib-makeover, with attention paid to the individual pieces of armour they wear, as well as their proper organs, cybernetics and appendages.The new system even adjusts to the gooey airborne chunks based on the special skins or shades a champion is wearing.
  3. Updated Store – The in game store has been updated with a tonne of new cosmetics.

In addition to these three key updates, loads more has been added in response to community feedback including:
