Big one with Lux and champ updates! As an anecdote, I was a lot more involved in this big Akali patchin' as her final patch Akali team originally wanted Akali to fight using Twilight Shroud more. Hoping players find much more to do inside the smoke rather than outside the smoke!

UMVC3 Rollback Netcode Progress (REAL) Most of the roster is working in full matches, but there are many things to fix, a dozen+ move desyncs left to find, effects,etc Still a lot more work left! Thanks @Armonte for reverse engineering, @ArcherOLegend @eternalyoshi for testing!

I poured my heart and soul into designing Thresh’s gameplay. Words can’t describe how I’m feeling. He was by far the most difficult champ I’ve ever worked on, and every person on the Thresh team moved heaven and earth to bring him to life. We love him, and we hope you do too 💚
