Context & Notes

1) Here's Riot Truexy with a preview for balance in 12.11:

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

"Post PBE cycle update:
- She now has a prestige themed tattoo under her left eye, to keep it aligned with other skins.
- More VFX has been added to the Heal from Surround Sound (W) heal
- Passive aura on allies is no longer yellow. It has been changed to turquoise/aquamarine
- Hairs are made slightly darker/orang-y
- VFX on the platform are now better visible when the Echo part of the passive is ready.

Thanks for all constructive feedback!"
Ocean Song Seraphine
"Post PBE cycle update:
- Droplets tattoo under the eye is now only under her left eye to keep it aligned with other skins.
- More VFX has been added to the Heal from Surround Sound (W) heal

Thanks for all comments and constructive feedback!"
Bel'Veth
PBE Update 6/1: 
  • Pinging Bel'Veth P now prints to chat her # of stacks and Attack Speed gained
  • Pinging Bel'Veth R while in Leviathan form prints the remaining duration of the buff to chat
  • Leviathan Form Slow Attack animations have been adjusted. Should look more slashy and less slappy (https://imgur.com/a/vsN0SFp)
  • Medium Speed Attacks have been tweaked to alternating left-right stabs rather than a left-left-right-right cadence
  • The threshold for medium speed attack animations has been reduced from 2.8 AS to 1.8 AS
  • The threshold for fast speed attack animations has been reduced from 3.5 AS to 3.2 AS
  • Leviathan Form size increase has been slightly reduced (rip Big'Veth)
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes - Sunfire damage should no longer be reduced by her passive, ARAM should be good to go, refillable potion interrupting her E is on our radar but not in yet" 
"post PBE cycle update:
- The team decided to not make any design changes to the skin.

Nevertheless, thanks for the comments and feedback!"
Ocean Song Ashe
"Post PBE cycle update:

- we added some more bubble and water splash VFX on her recall.

Thanks for all suggestions and constructive comments!"
Ocean Song Yone
"6/1/22

After evaluating the feedback, we've made the following updates to Ocean Song Yone per your feedback:
  • Increased the material transparency to his water skirt by 5% more, as we did not want to lose the wave effect and have the skirt be lost in the map itself.
  • Increased the splash on his death to by 30% more transparent.
  • Adjusted the splash art to update his face likeness.
We have received a lot of great feedback that we will definitely utilize for future Yone skins and appreciate your trying to write feedback in a way that's most helpful for us. Some suggestions either conflicted with other player feedback or with internal craft expertise, others (changing the hat, changing the position/sizing of Yone in the Splash Art, additional changes to his model, etc.) are out of scope for a PBE change. Thank you for taking the time to test Ocean Song Yone and sharing your feedback with us!"
Ocean Song & Bel'Veth Chromas
"Post PBE cycle update:
- We decided to not make any design changes to the chromas.

Nevertheless, thanks for all constructive feedback & comments!"
Ocean Song Nidalee
"Post PBE cycle update:
- Prowl (P) VFX are adjusted to fit the skin theme. They are now bubbles with subtle rainbow tint to some of them

Thanks for all comments and constructive feedback!"
