On a high level here are all the changes to the Voice lines:

• Phoenix has 1 new voiceline
• Killjoy has 22 new voicelines and 1 removed voiceline.

Pearl

With the new patch, Pearl will be added to the competitive map pool as well. So it might be best for you to play some unrated matches on the map before you dominate in rank.

Release Date

The new patch will go live at the following timings for each region:

• North America: 6th July 06:00 AM PST
• Europe: 6th July 03:00 PM CST
• Southeast Asia: 7th July 03:00 AM IST

All the above timings are the pre-defined default timing, however, if Riot faces any errors or exceptions while releasing the update, these timings could change. But that seems unlikely.
