Bug Fables VFX
I am personally NOT a fan of the removal of the Bug Fables vfx. Bug Fables has some of my favorite sound effects and they made me feel like I was playing Vi. The removal really hurts the gamefeel for me personally and would greatly appreciate it if they were added back in.

Also it might be the bias talking, but the choice of replacement sfx also feel pretty bad. By far the worst offender is the flying sound, it sounds like static. One person I was playing against in bracket even commented on how bad the new flying sound sounded. Along with this, because the audio of the flight changed depending on how long you were flying, it was a good indicator of how much flight you had left, but the new one doesn't have that. Most of the other replacements range from not good(Nspecial, Fspecial) to alright(Dspecial).

I will say that I am heavily biased in this opinion, I have a major appreciation for sound design when done right and I feel that it makes me really immerse myself in a character and adds a large amount to gamefeel. Vi was one of those characters that felt like she had great sounds to me, and made me feel like I was playing a Bug Fables character in Rivals of Aether.

I do want to ask what the exact reasoning behind the removal of the Bug Fables SFX is? Since my best guess is that some people may find it annoying, which I can understand. This I understand, but I feel that it would be much more appropriate to be a CSS or as pre-round toggle to be more akin to something with voice lines such as Jerma.

I do want to leave this on a positive note and say that Vi is one of my favorite mods and I love playing her a lot, she's very fun to control and I feel that you did a great job doing her justice in this mod.

I agree. I once won and was like wait wasn't there custom music for this? It was the sound that happens when you win in Bug Fables and It was in Rivals Of Aether but I don't know why they removed it since this character feels good to control and is one of my favorites.
