In the mage update, I must inquire as to whether certain champions will receive changes

Akin to how in the marksman update, while 6 of them received major updates, pretty much all of them got changed in some way.

Anivia Annie Fiddlesticks Galio Heimerdinger Karma Karthus Kennen KogMaw (AP side)Lissandra Lulu Lux Morgana Ryze Sona Swain Syndra Tristana (AP. Yeah, remember when that was a thing?)TwistedFate Veigar Viktor Xerath Ziggs Zilean

There are quite a lot of low mobility mages, so I am interested in which ones (if any) are receiving minor changes.

Personally, I am particularly interested in the following

Sona Fiddlesticks are champions I played excessively in season 3 (Yes, I played Sona as a mid lane mage, Sue me). Since then, both of them have been hit over the head with a nerf bat (directly and indirectly.) The update to summoners rift was particularly painful, as due to some "cleaning up" of the hitboxes on the map, my favorite Fiddle ult spot was made unusable. I think it would be cool if that sick ass scythe Fiddle constantly carries around put into his abilities somehow (even just the animations)

Anivia One of my most played in season 4, I will be particularly upset if an update removes her "Eggnivia" name change in chat. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing you remove, but the "flipping ninja" buff and "Pirate" buffs have been removed, so I am concerned. Oh, and those Anivia Icons we saw on beta a while ago? Those would be cool.

Karthus At the beginning of season 5, I spammed this guy along with AP Chogath until the release of Bard. Karthus doesn't need much. A bugfix on his passive (seriously, if that delay before you can start casting Q or R is still there, there is no way that is intentional), and maybe a revert to that silly wall of pain nerf.

Zilean Heimerdinger X GON GIVE IT TO YA (Sorry, I had to. These guys have too much swag for me to not break out the DMX) Two of my 3 favorite champs of all time (First place being Bard, of course). I hope that Zilean is not on the radar, and I hope that Heimerdinger is being considered for a new passive (Maybe the ability to do a mini version of his old ultimate every 30 seconds or so, healing a Q turret and give it "Frosty bullets" for a few seconds)

You managed to catch my second place mastery champion and main jungler as one of the major reworks (Zyra), so I just want to know if I will have to learn new mechanics on my old favorites.

I can't be the one who is curious as to who is getting looked at for smaller changes, since those can do so much for a champion.

I remember Twitch before the marksman update; I found him fun, but nothing that made me want to learn ADC. With stealth resets, suddenly I play ADC enough to have rank 5 on Twitch and Soraka (What, Soraka isn't an ADC? Nonsense).

witch dev corner board can you leave a link pleas.

Plus he was wandering about the low mobility mages that aren't apart of the 6. You know will any of the others get any fixes or buffs. New items?
