Ling's All-Star skin 'Phantom Current' becomes limited starting Jul 1, meaning it will no longer be purchasable with diamonds or promo diamonds after that date.
On Jul 17 there is a free reward of two Green Resplendent Dragon shards -- the item used to unlock color variations for certain skins. Obtainable without spending diamonds.
