Context & Notes

WIP!

1) Riot MapleNectar provided some more info on the 8.24b patch and what would be in it:

[1] "Alright, we just did our planning for our 8.24b patch.
Buffs:

Volibear

ASol

Singed

Warwick

Corki

Varus

Outer Turret mr/armor post 14 min

Forbidden Idol Item Line

Nerfs:

Tiamat

Kassadin

Cassiopeia

Alistar

Zeke's

Pyke (mid)

Jinx/Trist/Cait/Xayah/Sivir/Vayne will be 8.24b or 9.1"

[2] "But we need a bit more time to test out some changes. We're trying to be careful since we also want to explore some additional systemic stuff but that has a longer timeline, and no certainty to when it could land yet"

[3] "Ah, we're also working on Akali and Irelia mechanics followup, Irelia will more likely land in 9.2, and Akali in either 8.24 or 9.1 pending testing."

[4] "I'm legit trolling. We're also looking at Ashe and Kalista"

[5] "On another note. We had a final change sitting in the wings for funnel / smite mid, and after talking to a number of pros at all stars to understand the viability of the strats we're going to be pulling the trigger in 9.1. It's similar to the monster hunter rule, but will trigger"

[6] "If you have more gold from lane minions than you do from the jungle. While supporting strategic diversity is a positive for league, both of these resulted in questionable or unrelatable gameplay for most players which is why they're being removed."
