Lots of cool buffs announced in the livestream!

I grabbed some screenshots, and thought I'd post them here for people, if they missed the livestream.
I might have missed one or two; so please add them if you've got them...

Well, it's been over an hour, and I've successfully posted elsewhere; so I'm hoping that I can start to put these on, now:

”First appearance of Severe Damage over Time”

Man the devs really pigeonholed Leader from their memory so hard they forgot he has a Severe Degeneration Debuff despite the fact he literally introduced the mechanic.

Anyways I’m real excited about some of these buffs, just wish we didn’t have to wait on them. Seems like they’re ready, why hold onto them?

Of the ascendable champ buffs, I’m most excited for Aarkus and Korg. Always felt like Aarkus was already undeniably good but sooo close to being properly meta. And Korg, I’ve just always wanted to like him but never really could, so I’m hopeful.

Not impressed by the Emma frost buff. This is a r3 Dazzler as opposed to the r4 shown in the stream with a guaranteed crit so no need to pray for good rng.

Maybe she's just meant to be a defender with the change to her sig. Kinda dissappointing.

I was hoping that Sasquatch’s chance to inflict rupture debuffs would have been increased when fighting Cosmic opponents… maybe 50% instead of the current 30%

These r all great buffs!!

Cant wait for them!!

I hope they're as good as they look on paper.

some solid champs in the group, but not a single one that I’m excited by. I get that they’re running out of 6*s to introduce and they’ve got to do something. But I just can’t see getting fired up by Bishop, Sassy, Peni, Emma, etc.

Was surprised to learn how many people seem to have been HUGE Heimdall fans. That was something, at least.

Mid champs Unite pool is coming. Perfect way to kill the mood.

When those champions are the only ones at the new power level they're gonna be more used

So when are these buffs coming out? I know Heimdall is releasing in this coming update

maybe, but it doesn’t make them interesting

Be interested to see how these work when in game when the update comes.
