Context & Notes

WIP!

1) Riot Rovient posted a new iteration of Dark Harvest for today's PBE update:
"Tuning change for Dark Harvest on PBE tomorrow. Turns out, today's tuning resulted in 20+ stack champions exploding people. Boosted level 1 base damage, dropped level 18 base damage damage and halved the bAD/AP ratio contribution from stacks."
