New Champion: Lillia

Our newest champion, Lillia, is now on the PBE for testing! Here's Riot Koyuncu with a bugs and feedback thread for all things Lillia:

"Greetings! I'm Riot Koyuncu, one of the QA engineers on Champions Team. 

For any unaware, Lillia has finally been announced as League's next new champion and she is prancing around in PBE right now! She'll officially launch to Live in two weeks, and we're looking to collect feedback and fix any major bugs that are discovered by PBE players. If you stumble upon something strange related to Lillia or her Spirit Blossom skin in your games, you can let the team know by leaving a comment in this thread. This can be anything ranging from strange SFX/VFX to incorrect ability behavior. As always, detailed information (e.g. bug repro steps or video clips) are very helpful at helping us fix issues before release. 

Thanks everyone! - Mikky"

Lore

Lillia's in client bio:

"Intensely shy, the fae fawn Lillia skittishly wanders Ionia's forests. Hiding just out of sight of mortals—whose mysterious natures have long captivated, but intimidated, her—Lillia hopes to discover why their dreams no longer reach the ancient Dreaming Tree. She now travels Ionia with a magical branch in hand, in an effort to find people's unrealized dreams. Only then can Lillia herself bloom and help others untangle their fears to find the sparkle within. Eep!"

VFX Updates - Ahri & Uydr

Here's Riot Sirhaian with details on Ahri and Udyr VFX updates now testing on the PBE - Ahri and Udyr VFX Updates:

"Hello everyone! 

Similar to the previous VFX updates we’ve made in the past (*Ziggs, Thresh, Lux, etc*), we're working on updates to the Visual Effects (VFX) of more champions whose spell effects are in need of some love. Our aim is to get their VFXs to current League standards and improve gameplay clarity. In Patch **10.15**, we'll be releasing a VFX Update for Ahri and Udyr! 

*Just like the previous ones, and since these are smaller updates geared toward sprucing up some of the oldest members of the roster, they aren't in the same prioritization conversation as to how we decide who gets a VGU (where we take model, gameplay, and thematic into account too!): they do not affect any other timeline, and are simply dev passion projects.* 

We're looking for feedback on their VFX changes, which should be up on the PBE soon-ish. Please try them out there —especially if you're a main— and leave us your feedback once the changes are up! 

------- 

AHRI 

*VFX Update aimed at improving gameplay readability and bringing up her VFXs to today's standards.*

*Base Kit:*
**BA** - Cleaned up missiles and hit effects.
**Q** - New missiles and hit effects. Now shows the actual hitbox. Healing missiles are now green.
**W** - New fox-fires, missiles and hit effects. Mostly cleaned up and modernized.
**E** - Cleaned up missile, should feel more modern and its hitbox look should be more accurate.
**R** - New cast and ground buff effects. Also new missiles and hit effects.
​
---------------------
--------------------- 

UDYR 

*VFX Update aimed at modernizing this old champion's feel while improving his gameplay readability. Spirit Guard Udyr only received updates to his abilities.*

*Base Kit:*
**P** - New movement speed boost effect.
**BA** - New hit effect.
**Q** - New transform effect and overhead symbol. Tiger form has a new DoT effect.
**W** - New transform effect and overhead symbol. Turtle form has new heal and shield effects.
**E** - New transform effect and overhead symbol. Bear form has a new stun effect.
**R** - New transform effect and overhead symbol. Phoenix has new AOE and cone effects.
------- 

Please test those changes on the PBE once they're up (should be some time this week) and let us know if you have any feedback!"
