Context & Notes

1) Riot Scruffy tweeted a changelist for patch 11.3:
"Updated 11.3 preview with almost finished changes. 
Credit to the team that does these, they work tirelessly to deliver better and better patches every 2 weeks. These are really the lifeblood of League, constant attention to keep things balanced and fresh."
He also noted the Rammus update was slated for 11.5:
"Still coming, most likely 11.5, but not fully locked down."
