Context & Notes

1) Squad5 noted more changes for Diana this cycle:

"Putting in another change for Diana today - her passive cleave attack should be treated like an AoE spell now rather than a proc, so she should now apply talisman to everything hit with it in the jungle, and can apply other effects like Ludens or Rylais with it."

2) Stashu noted some model changes for Aphelios soon:

" Update: Character/concept artists agree and will be making some model adjustments to match his hair/face a bit better to the splash. Look out for those in the upcoming days~"

3) Riot Scruffy provided a look at 9.24 balance:

[1] "9.24 Patch Targets:

-Game snowball is better after the hotfix
-Conqueror viable on fighters and a few mages (no changes yet)
-Small rift herald buff
-Changes for Yuumi/Braum to help them be viable for normal play (not just pro)
-Working on Sylas mechanics for a later patch"

[2] "Update - Patch 9.24 targets:

Digging in more, we see conqueror as too good on too many ranged users so we're adding a ranged focused nerf to the keystone.

-Asol nerf removed

-Ryze nerf will be softer"

4) 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"
