Ultimate Spellbook

ONE FOR ALL-TIMATE SPELLBOOK
● Each game of Ultimate Spellbook will have a small chance for a particularly silly type of
game to occur. When it does it’s weighted in favor of having a particularly large impact
on the game that we can’t wait for you to FEAST your eyes on!
BUGFIXES
● Annie R and Viktor R no longer trigger Nimbus Cloak when repositioning their ultimate
● Cannon minions were actually giving too much gold! They will now hand out 3 less gold
from the first cannon wave, and cap out at 101 gold around 12 minutes into the game.
● Akshan no longer fires attacks during Heroic Swing while casting Lucian R
● Aphelios no longer gets stuck in T-pose after casting certain ultimates
