Context & Notes

1) Riot August noted some Senna changes testing this cycle:
"These are the Senna nerfs we're currently testing. 
Goal is to nerf Senna in all positions, but hit ADC Senna MORE than support (ADC is 2-3% stronger on preseason patch). 
Hitting her safety(root duration and HP), Q poke/waveclear, and soul generation while CS'ing"

2) Riot Scruffy provided changelists for 9.24 balance:
[1] Patch 9.24 Changes Preview: 
Bigger change lists in the thread. Almost final, but a few tweaks may still happen. This is the last patch of the year, but we expect to do a balance hotfix in late december (9.24b).

[2] Senna Nerfs - focused on nerfing adc senna more than support
[3] Yuumi Buffs - making her viable for regular play and less dominant in high elo and pro
[4] Braum Buffs - Also targeted at regular player viability
[5] Omnistone "smart" logic
