UI

• Fixed a bug where the friendslist showed incorrect status for players in the pre-game lobby
• Fixed a bug where the dropdown menu of an offline friend in the friendslist would sometimes show invalid entries
• Shortened the “Grand Champion” Pre-Season title, as it was too long to see the entirety
• Changed the Leaderboard to show 8 entries instead of 9 so that chat is easier to read when unfocused
• Reduced the time it takes to fetch user profiles
• Fixed visual representation errors for teams in the profile
• Added new artwork into the loading screen rotation: Ulric, Rook, Thorn, Pestilus, Jumong, and Blossom
• Leaderboards should now correctly default to the closest region to the player

Sound

• Music for the final round now starts when players spawn into the Arena
• Intro music added to tutorials for battles
• Sounds for Jamila’s counter improved (more prominent)
