Context & Notes

Riot KateyKhaos

"Some of y'all called out that Pajama Guardian Ezreal's face wasn't the same as Star Guardians - nice catch! We worked on PJ Guardian around the same time his VGU was occurring and missed the face tweaks! The new face will be in Thursday's PBE build! :)"

[1] "Likely going to be putting a limit on Ornn's items he can have to 2 so that I can add a few more choices in for him to buy - thinking right now I'm going to be adding in Iceborn Guantlet and Warmogs for him. For allies going to add in Youmuu's and BORK I think."

[2] "I like the idea of him being able to have as many as he wants, but in that world he can only have two perfect options. I'd rather let him make a choice between a few items than always have to go the same ones to be effective at level 11."
