It's a start, expect much, much more on 10.24 patch, we are all focusing hard on getting the best first pre-season follow-up patch we can for y'all.

Looks very good for tank nerfs. Props here.

But where are the AP item nerfs? Demonic is one of the most OP 2nd items possible. Lich bane is still insane (down to 100% base AD I suggest) and there are many AP mythics that lack a clear line (Liandrys vs Ludens isn't really a choice but mostly based on whom you play because Liandries is actually pretty good agianst one tanks, too). But also that many of them are stupid strong. AP burst mages and AP assassins (in lane) do keep up with tanks.

I am just a bit disappointed because I expected a bit more.

As I said, we are doing a large patch on 10.24. It's been only ~5 days since the patch drops, we've hotfixed twice already, and normally we patch at a 2 week cadence. Just hotfix nerfing/fixing the most disruptive things in the meantime.
