[Coming Soon] Maokai Update on a PBE near you
[ Not seeing it on the PBE at the moment, enjoy the post none the less.]Ququroon has posted up a thread on the PBE boards concerning an upcoming update to Maokai!
"Edit: PBE issues! Sad day. Maokai should be good on Monday. Sorry folks.
Branching out to the PBE is Maokai, the Twisted Treant!
Having gone through a growth spurt, Maokai now looks and feels more like the character he was meant to be. With an updated model and texture set, crisp new visual effects, new sounds to crush your enemies with and more, this plant come to life now feels more alive than ever. As usual, all of the above affects his skins as well.
One of the other major goals on this project was to increase visual clarity for Maokai, his allies and his enemies. His ultimate is massively powerful, but was it ever really the most noticeable? Did his snare ever really feel as effective as it actually is? Could his saplings be even more awesome? We pushed these a bit, so hopefully you'll be able to feel the effects!
We'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look at Maokai, and hit us with any bugs and feedback that come your way. Your feedback helps to guide changes we can make, as well as helps us grow as a team.
Between the update to Summoner's Rift and now this, it certainly is a great time for our trees."He continued:
"To answer a few things from the get go...
- New models on all skins EXCEPT Haunted (new textures on this though) and Goalkeeper. Those were modern.
- Very light animation work. He got a new run cycle, and some cleanup on his other anims.
- You guys are awfully excited about him coming out in 4.20 for some reason."
Here's a look at the updated Maokai from the Champion Update dev blog :
Preseason Changes
Looks like Murkwolf and Razorbeak gold reward has been increased slightly.
There are a few base mana regen tweaks (reductions) for Soraka, Sona, Nami, Janna, and Taric. These seem to go along with the general base stat adjustments for preseason. Singed has also received his appropriately proportioned preseason stat tweaks.
The "Homefield Advantage" buff that granted extra movement speed and defenses while in your own base has been removed.
