Riot outlines upcoming champion updates in League of Legends patch 11.5 early notes

With the next big League of Legends patch on the horizon, Riot Games has decided to give players a preview of what they can expect with the upcoming updates.

League of Legends gameplay design director Mark “Scruffy” Yetter previously outlined a series of changes coming to the champions and items with patch 11.5. However, it was only until yesterday that he provided the community with details on the tweaks that the League of Legends devs are currently working on.
