League of Legends' patch 11.6 has hit the PBE, and its notes reveal the introduction of a bunch of new cosmetics and visuals for five champions.

League of Legends fans got a first glance at the new Battle Academia skins for Caitlyn, Wukong, Garen, Yone, and Leona in the PBE preview. All the skins follow a similar theme - that of a futuristic school, teaching its students to fend for themselves. The champions' clothing consists of ties, uniforms, and knit sweaters, all of which reflect their days of training.

According to Surrender@20's PBE preview, each of these champions will also possess their own set of chromas and summoner icons. This new squad of five will join a pre-existing set of Battle Academia champions, consisting of Ezreal, Jayce, Katarina, and Lux. Battle Professor Graves and Battle Principal Yuumi also fit into the same alternate universe.

Lore:

"A consummate troublemaker and prankster, Wukong has failed out of every high school in the region, eventually washing out into Labrys as an 'enrollment of last resort'.

Lore:

"Yone is a brooding, quiet member of the Assassin Club, one whose morose and serious attitude belies the colossal chip on his shoulder.
