Riot Phlox Tweeted the upcoming changes for patch 11.24
Hey all!
11.24 Patch Preview coming in hot. Mainly system changes as we follow up on preseason patch but we've got a few champions sprinkled in too.
We're still watching bounties/other systems/other champions but no changes this patch for them.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm actually surprised they're leaving Vayne the way she is (for now)
Since we're touching a lot of systems we wanted to go light on champion changes this patch (system work causes a lot of disruption).
Vayne would've seen nerfs but we're adjusting LT so we'll wait a patch to see how everything shakes out
Evenshroud nerf, Glacial Nerf
Looks like another boring season.
Doesn't help Inspiration minor runes as primary runes kinda suck.
Glacial is ~1.5% better than aftershock/guardian on like every tank. It'll still be powerful don't worry
We have forgotten to include in the list:
Caitlyn Headshot Auto Cancel Improvements.
What is the current functionality of that change, may I ask? Headshots on trapped/netted targets give you an X% reduced attack cooldown?
TL;DR, targeting a triggered headshot target resets your auto attack against them. So:
This is essentially pre-ASU functionality without A-move-click, so it's more accessible for all players.
Are the Caitlyn headshot changes in 11.24?
Yep!
So the machine gun thing is back?
Does not work with multiple triggered headshots against the same target.
u/RiotRayYonggi u/Caenen_ you can chain them on the same target by dropping target and re-acquiring (unless there’s been a change in the past 48 hrs or so)
I made a post on r/Caitlynmains with all the stuff I’ve been able to do on PBE. sorry if I broke your update lol
Thanks for the post, we are bug fixing frequently but I’ll make sure to pass this along.
Is it not a partial timer reset like it was on the PBE, or are we confirmed to have the full resets back?
It is a full reset, not partial.
The version that was pre-11.23 was actually even faster than any full reset in the game, as the headshot auto ignored your attack speed so the animation was always fast. This newest version makes the headshot animation scale with attack speed like all other auto attacks in the game.
For example, if you auto reset with Sivir with 0 bonus AS, her W auto is still slow, but doesn’t have to wait until the first auto is finished. This is the new functionality of Caitlyn by default.
Could you share the thoughts behind the glacial nerf? According to public data it's the 4th worst rune by winrate and the 3rd least picked after phase rush and unsealed. I combed through a lot of data for a video I was making looking for broken champs with it and I couldn't find anyone. It seemed like most guardian users went down in winrate if they use it (I theorize because the damage reduction to teammates doesn't make up for losing guardian shield early in lane). Is there something we aren't seeing from public data?
I'm at home rn but from what i remember every tank support by our internal data is at least 1% better with it. I wouldn't expect a massive nerf here tbh
Can you make mages fun again? They were most fun in season 3/4/5 but after that, it has been pretty downwards... I thought maybe this new season will make things better for them, oh well.
What do you think makes mages not fun? What made them fun before? Genuinely interested to hear opinions from people on this w/out stating my own
