LoL Patch 6.18 New Icons
Invulnerability HUD up for testing
Invulnerability HUD is up for testing on the PBE.
Invulnerability HUD is a feature that puts up a golden shield and outlines the HP bar when the target is completely Invulnerable. Some examples are Bard's R, Taric's R, Zhonya's etc.
This was made to not confuse the players and therefore a target whose HP Bar is golden is completely invulnerable.
 |
| Kayle's R |
 |
| Taric's R |
 |
| Lissandra's R |
 |
| Zhonya's |
 |
| Zhonya's on Annie |
However, this should not be mistaken for untargetable units.
This unit is untargetable but not invulnerable.
LoL Patch 6.18 Worlds Content
As the patch that the World Championships will be played on, there some special stuff in-client to celebrate. There's the changes to mid-lane with the rock formation you see above, plus the Championship Zed skin that headlines our Skins section.
There are also special team emotes. They come in three tiers, letting you show dedication to your chosen squad of eStars all the way up to a special recall animation. Only the teams that make it to worlds will have this.
