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

---

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

---

Nerfs

Senna, Ryze, Kassadin, Aurelion Sol, Akali, Garen

Q & A

Q: Why Aurelion Sol?

A: Asol riding that new conqueror into space (get it). Seriously though, conq play style is fun for him so we think letting him keep it is the better path.

Q: Can you share something more about the new 'smartness of omnistone?

A: It looks to increase odds for keystones when they are more usable.

Nearby low hp champ - dark harvest

Far out of combat - predator

August Tweeted the Senna nerfs

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
