Detailed Changes
LLyssaNerfHer execute was a guaranteed delete button on anyone below half. Halving the missing-HP scaling keeps the threat without the "you were always dead" feeling.
EConsume
- Damage: 100% of missing HP⇒50% of missing HP
- Now auto-targets the highest-HP enemy.
SSilvanusReworkHis W was doing too many things at once. Pulling it down to a single-cast, ally-only heal-and-debuff-transfer makes the "he takes your pain" fantasy legible.
WBurden
- Cast: multi-charge⇒single-cast, ally-only
- Heals the ally and transfers their debuffs onto himself.

SYSTEMS
The Demo Arena
A playable Kickstarter demo at /demo/ — a real server-run duel against the Automaton, reusing the live engine. Plus a Dynamic Pick draft screen at /draft/.
Champion Voice Sets
A manifest-driven voice system with sets wired for Cecrops, Medusa, Minthe, Polyphemus, Silvanus and more, and a legacy fallback.
Audio & Music
An audio settings cog (Music / UI / Dialogue sliders), UI sound effects, and an ambient/arena music system for landing, draft, and the fury of a 1v3.
VFX Cascade & End Screen
Per-champion spell VFX wired to lastAction, a cinematic E zoom (pull back on cast, snap on impact), and a damage/healing tracker on the end screen.
