Context & Notes

1) Riot Phlox provided a changelist for 12.5 balance changes:
"👋 
A bit of a smaller patch because of President's day etc. Still have some changes worth your time though! 
I know the Hullbreaker changes are rough for Urgot :( We'll def have eyes on him 
As always full context on individual changes will come with the patchnotes"

2) Here's the latest from the r/LeaguePBE feedback threads:

"Post PBE update: 
no notable changes"
"Update: Thanks for your feedback! The team discussed and decided that there will be no changes. 
We looked into changing Ziggs goggle colors but decided to keep it as is. The other colors didn't create the same amount of contrast that we were looking for. 
We will also keep his ult orientation as is. The hive reads better this way.

"Update: Thanks for your feedback! The team has discussed and decided on the following changes: 
- We'll be adding more petals to her auto attack so that it'll read more like a flower.
- We'll punch up the on hit vfx for her auto attack 
- Riot Eneopa"
"Update: Thank you all for your feedback. The team has discussed and has decided to make no further changes. 
-Riot Eneopa"
Update: Thanks for your feedback! We'll be adjusting the turret on hit honey splashes so it'll be easier to read the enemy. We'll also update the turret honey ground VFX.
