Context & Notes
1) Here's Riot Phroxzon with a changelist for 12.18:
Generally going for safe changes this patch so we can target accurately. There's a decent amount of unknown, with 12.16, 17, 18 having no Pro Play exposure, but we're relatively confident we'll be in a good spot post these changes. Udyr changes are buffs to DPS and nerfs to Tank pic.twitter.com/uF1EDHAHvR

2) Here's the latest from the r/LeaguePBE feedback threads:
Ashen Slayer Sylas
"End of PBE Update:
Hello!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and dropped their feedback in the thread. Let me address most popular points:
- Full body armor: Unfortunately, this is above possible scope for PBE timeline, but we will keep it in mind for future designs. Please refer to the guidelines in this thread to learn more.
- Sylas’ helmet is identical to Pantheon’s: While they share similar design pillars the models are different (https://imgur.com/4G5D66n ) After having discussed with the team, we feel the helmets are unique enough while retaining the key elements to the thematic.
- Change of helmet model/adding a hood: these requests fall into the same category as full body armor.
- Wings from R appearing on other abilities: The team wanted to keep this element impactful, and the team feels that if we add the wings to other abilities, it will detract from the ultimate moment
- Wings disappearing when Sylas moves: unfortunately this is a technical limitation. Wings are triggered by the animation, and when the animation changes, the wings need to disappear or they will just linger in the original place & orientation. We will revisit this issue if we have a solution around the limitation.
- We double checked if the SFX (chorus) when Sylas steals an enemy ultimate is cut-off at the end and made a small adjustment to alleviate that feeling.
- We agree that Sylas’ body was looking too monochromatic and the color balance has been polished.(https://imgur.com/bdtMEVN)"
"End of PBE Update:
- Passive VFX for Pantheon Emberwoken Chroma was adjusted to increase its visibility.
Thanks for the questions and constructive feedback!"
