CHAMPS

-Ziggs
---AD: 50 >>> 55

AUGMENTS

BUGFIXES

-Mastermind VFX no longer stick around for eternity

Context & Notes

1) Riot Phlox provided a changelist for 12.4 balance:
"Hello hello!

12.4 with content is here, some spicy changes for sure.

To note, these are some quicker changes to pull down the support item top meta. I don't expect these to be the last of the changes in the space, but any larger ones need more time to validate."

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

Shockblade Kassadin:
"Post PBE Update:

- Enhanced VFX on W activation

- Enhanced VFX on E"
"Post PBE Update:

- Tweaked Q VFX to have more thundery elements
