Changelists

12.12b & 12.13 Changelists

Context & Notes

1) Here's Riot Phroxzon with changelists for 12.12b & 12.13 balance:

12.12b (Thursday) and 12.13. We're targeting non-burst buffs for burst oriented champs (which will increase burst some amount on account of snowballing a bit more). Gwen changes lower W, E uptime and hit R burst. Sivir changes aim to give her more moments of personal power. pic.twitter.com/G9BbtdjjYZ

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

Star Guardian Sona

UPDATE 

After evaluating the feedback, we've made the following updates to Star Guardian Sona per your feedback:

• Similarly to previous Star Guardian skins, this year's Star Guardian theme will also play upon loading into the game.
• Added Chiizu VO to Sona’s empowered attack.
• Increased volume for passive SFX slightly.
• Her Splash Art has received some adjustments to align facial and body likeness to other depictions.
• Adjusted Sona’s glasses in her icons and emotes to be consistent with the splash art and in-game model. 

We have received a lot of great feedback and appreciate everyone that presented their thoughts in a way that's most helpful for us. Some suggestions conflicted with other player sentiments or with internal craft expertise, others, such as, adding vfx to her abilities/aura where we were already pushing her memory budget and adding additional changes to her model, are out of scope for a PBE change. Thank you for taking the time to test Star Guardian Sona and sharing your feedback with us!"
