Kassadin's Nether Blade and Udyr's sound effects

Nether blade

Kassadin got a really cool VU and all, but I don't understand why his nether blade goes through his hand still. Before, Harbinger Kassadin's nether blade was above his hand like it should be, now all of his skins have it going through his hand and it just looks dumb. Also, why does Harbinger(being a 975 skin) not have any new effects at all? Maybe his q is black instead of purple or something.

Udyr

I play a lot of Udyr, and I noticed that sometimes you'll find yourself in(for example) phoenix stance, and your taunt will be from bear, and your joke from tiger or something along those lines. On top of that, sometimes he'll say lines from tiger stance while in phoenix when walking around. Basically, his sound files are all mixed up and it can get quite annoying.
