Football Shared Splash Updates

Due to the splash changes, the following splash slices have been updated.

Goalkeeper Maokai updates

To go along with the splash change above, Goalkeeper Maokai has received a few changes to his uniform.

[ Continued ] Nidalee Gameplay Update

[ Note, a few of the changes originally mentioned in the 6/9 edit of the post were actually included in today's update ]

As usual, here's Riot Repertoir with today's changeslist for the Nidalee gameplay update.
"Changes following 6/9 for 6/10 PBE build:
  • Armor / Magic Resist no longer granted when using Hunted Pounce
  • Reducing Pounce's cooldown via minion kill or Swipe on a Hunted target reduces Pounce's cooldown to 1 second, down from 1.5
  • Minor visual adjustments to Javelin Toss particle so that it no longer visually extends so far beyond its actual hit range
  • Javelin Toss Mana cost reduced to Live values (50/60/70/80/90)
  • Base Armor reverted to Live values (15)
  • Javelin Toss cooldown increased to 6 seconds from 5
  • Added better visual/audio feedback for when Hunted Pounce is available on a target 
Hey all, Though I'm sure it will make some people sad, today we decided to move away from Armor and MR in any form while in Cougar and just reduced the Pounce reset timer from 1.5 to 1.0. We decided to go this route because we think that with a low enough value, the in-out provided by this mechanic can serve as a better form of agile mitigation by means of repositioning away from danger. I understand that this will give more mileage some times than others, but it should ultimately fit the feel of the character better, and if worse comes to worse, we can still consider base defenses adjustments. There's been a lot of discussion about Javelin Toss width, namely how hard it is to hit the skill now. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the gameplay I'm seeing around the Javelin Width, and I think we're going to stick with this width/speed combination for release, but the missile speed is something we're going to be using as a major tuning point following her release if it just honestly feels like they're too hard to hit late game. Lastly, it's not exactly a numbers buff, but I did some work on improving the audio and visual cues for when Hunted Pounce is available on a target, so there should be fewer instances of thinking you can make the jump when you actually can't.

I apologize for not being able to respond to individual posts the last few days. It's been a bit hectic monitoring all these PBE games while getting her ready for release in various ways. That said, I've still been reading everyone's posts every few hours just to keep in touch with what's being talked about here. Please continue to let me know what you think. -Repertoir
