Context & Notes

1)  Riot Repertoir tweeted out context on the Syndra and Tahm Kench changes - noting that the TK W changes will likely be reverted and return in the 8.16 cycle.
"TK's W is gonna get some work, but not until 8.16, so it will be gone tomorrow. 
Syndra's Q is just getting a buff. We think it's worth it for that spell to feel more impactful early than it currently does."

2) Riot NeuroCat has tweeted another Fizz changelist tweeted out on the evening of 7/24 - look for these in the 7/25 update!
"Some (probably final) Fizz buff numbers for the patch - pulling some damage out of the ult based on further playtesting and feedback. Here's the current change list:"

3) Riot Stellari tweeted upcoming tweaks to the shared Pool Party splash coming soon:
[1] "On PBE Soon™ - Some small tweaks to the Pool Party splash (old=left, new= right): fixed Zoe's eyes, polish on the faces, tweaks to make GP & Cait feel more prominent in the splash compared to the side characters (no one likes bees in the pool anyway, Beemo)."
[2] "JK that was the wrong final splash >_> here's the final final version 2 2018 final ~_~ (minor adjustment to Zoe)"
