"A frigid fate awaits your foes! Fling spells and snowballs in this icy twist on ARURF, featuring League's coolest champions."

Preseason Healthbar Update v3

"How do you do, fellow kids? We’re back with another iteration on the healthbar update based on feedback. Let’s review what we’re trying to achieve here: 

Feels
- Familiar, but better (no relearning, no change to things like last hitting)
- Game to game differences, not moment to moment
- Interacting with objectives is more satisfying
- Interacting with defensive windows is more satisfying (heals, shreds, etc)
- Bodying fools feels better than ever. 

Gameplay
- Easier to track the flow of a fight.
- More intuitive play/counterplay around defensive windows.
- More intuitive play/counterplay around unique mechanics (extra life, unstoppable, etc).
- Huge clarity gains when spectating and watching streams. 

V3 Changelist
- Ammo resources like Jhin, Corki, Annie have the same treatment as Live.
- Lots of color tweaks and some sizing tweaks.
- Lots of animation tweaks.
- Tower burst, shake, and death animations are in.
- Option to turn off shake animation coming this week.
- Baron’s healthbar now stays in place rather than bouncing all over.
- Resurrecting state improvements. 

Future Stuff
- Healing over time
- Damage over time
- Color code objective takes
- Kill streaking
- Stealth state 

Lookee Lookee
Here’s a spiffy video which shows the changes in a real game setting. Note, there’s a few spectator bugs here such as dragon health is grey, etc. Try to ignore those <.<

As always, we're still looking for feedback as you guys dive into the changes. Thanks!"
