Hi there ! Just wanted to say first of all that I am really enjoying the changes so far.

A couple of bugs I have noticed, on the new ultimate:

1. The draining-screeching sound effect will abruptly dissappear after 15-16 seconds when continuously draining the same target. Sound effect resumes if target exits then re-enters ultimate area.
2. Depending on skin, the R area radius becomes much less visible or even invisible around 12 seconds after casting R2. my findings so far :

• Dragonmaster Swain, Tyrant Swain and Northern Front Swain : around 12s after casting R2, R aura dims then become completely invisible
• Base Swain, Bilgewater Swain : R aura dims and is barely visible
• Crystal Rose Swain : No change
• Hextech Swain : Unable to test on PBE

Nice catches! We have those noted down and will attempt a fix before he goes live. Thank you!
