Context & Notes
wweeeellllll it's the big wip. it's the big bad wip tonight.1) Here's Meddler with his quick gameplay thoughts for June 8, covering topics such as cc scoring at end of game, 10 bans going out globally, and 7.13 balance changes:
Morning all,
Usual Disclaimers
These posts will often contain talk about future work we're doing, or planning to do, that isn't yet guaranteed to ship. The nature of the work could change or, depending on what we discover, projects mentioned may get put delayed or even stopped.

CC Score at end of game
We mentioned this at mid-season, it's been delayed until now though. Short version is a CC stat at the end of game that reflects how much CC each champion in the game has applied. Should be shipping in the next patch (7.12). We ended up having to get the system rewritten because the original version imposed a higher than appropriate server load (scripted in an inefficient manner).
10 Bans in match made games
Should now be live everywhere, or just about to be. Looking at its effects so far they look pretty good, with champ select times down noticeably, dodge rates (deliberate or accidental) no higher than before and annecdotal feedback fairly positive. Still monitoring all of those things though of course.
In terms of champion ban rates Yasuo's has spiked up significantly, other champions look fairly unaffected. Will want to see how that does or doesn't change over the next couple of weeks and what the trend's like in other regions (since we're just looking at NA data for now since that's where it was initially rolled out). Pick/ban rates can vary dramatically region to region so it's possible there will be some other high ban rate cases out there, would also expect Yasuo's ban rate to be significantly lower in at least some NA regions based off historical trends.
More thoughts on 10 bans to come soonish.
7.13 Balance Changes
Details to come next week, some of the targets we're considering though are:
Nerfs - Kennen, Fiora, Galio
Buffs - Cho'Gath, Poppy, Gnar, Trundle, Maokai
Existing Keystones Masteries as New Runes
Our expectation is that we'll transfer at least a couple of existing masteries, with some modifications, into the new runes system. We've got some in mind already that we've been testing, wanted to throw the question open to you folks as well though. Poll below for which of the current keystones you'd be most interested in seeing translated over, also really interested in hearing thoughts as to why though of course.
There is also a poll on what keystone mastery you would most like ot see in the new Runes Reforged system. Check out the full post to participate in the poll.
2) KateyKhaos tweeted Pulsefire Caitlyn's R has been tweaked to be more colorblind friendly in 7.12.
3) Ricklessabandon on Malzahar PBE changes set to go out in 7.12:
[1] "late in the dev cycle, but there's a (somewhat meaningful) bugfix for malzahar and some lighter nerfs as follow-up work in 7.12"
[2] "overall hope he'll be in a stable spot after this -- will be monitoring during the next dev cycle"
4) Nightbringer Yasuo special interactions:
