Context & Notes
1) Riot Scruffy provided changelists for 9.24 balance:[1] Patch 9.24 Changes Preview:
Bigger change lists in the thread. Almost final, but a few tweaks may still happen. This is the last patch of the year, but we expect to do a balance hotfix in late december (9.24b).
[2] Senna Nerfs - focused on nerfing adc senna more than support
"Updated in-game model:
Thanks for your feedback everyone! We were on a bit of a tight timeline, but the art team put in some serious work to get changes done. Sadly this means it won't be on the next PBE, but he will be released with his updated model on the liver servers next week. Lastly, I wanted to give a shoutout to the concept and character artists who made the moves to get this done when they heard everyone's reactions, thanks Kindlejack and Hunter! [ https://www.artstation.com/kindlejack and https://www.artstation.com/hunterwg33 ]"
3) Over in the Sugar Rush Zilean PBE feedback thread, Riot KiWiKiD noted:
"Hey thanks for all of the feedback everyone! Will try to get the chroma matching the skin colors as that seems to resonate the most with ya'll"
4) Riot Sirhaian posted some updates to the Lux VFX work he's been doing:
[1] Some work I've done for the Lux VFX Update, based off all the feedback I received:
- Reduced some of the pinks overall
- Narrowed her auto attack missiles
- Reduced Base Q brightness slightly
- Added a trail to Base Q
- Added sparks on Q width indicator to make it a bit clearer
[2] - Base W missile orbs are now pale orange like the rest of her kit
- Adjusted Base E explosion color
- Base R Red beam is now more red
- Added slightly more oomph to her Base R beam
- Did a value pass on all skins for her R
- Added a scorch mark on all her skins after R has fired
[3] - R cleanup (too many lines)
- Changed the R indicators to match skin color where appropriate
- Adjusted her Quick Cast indicators to actually (and finally) match the range and width of her abilities
