Here are the full Patch 7.24 notes (be sure to check regional editions for slight variations!):
Greetings Summoners,

It's the final (sort of) patch of the preseason and that means a lot of tweaks based on our first round of data. The game always changes a decent amount this time of year, so we're looking to make sure that—heading into next season—most champions at least feel the same, and some might even have the potential to do more.

A number of champions love the new runes and have been smashing the competition as a result, while others find themselves without the keystone they'd want. We're looking to give those characters some love in the meantime, and then we'll go from there.

Some of the runes themselves are either on the strong or weak side, so there's some balance tuning coming through on that front. We want to make sure that we don't head into the winter break with huge outliers still hanging around, so we'll be doing another minor patch before then.

Finally, we're rolling out a major update to the healthbars in the game, hoping to increase clarity overall and visibility on some of the less noticeable moments in the game. More on that below!

Patch Highlights

Champions

Aurelion Sol

R cooldown reduced.
This patch's buff to Phase Rush on ranged champions will help revitalize the Starforger, but he's far enough below par to deserve a little extra.

R - Voice of Light

COOLDOWN120/100/80 ⇒ 110/90/70

Bard

Base health regen and meep damage increased.
The new trading landscape has done a lot to buff the trading patterns of supports while Bard has stayed pretty constant. As a result, he's a bit on the punishable side, so we're giving him some love.

Base stats

BASE HEALTH REGEN5.4 per 5 seconds ⇒ 7.5 per 5 seconds

Passive - Traveler's Call

MEEP BASE DAMAGE30 ⇒ 40

Camille

Passive shield duration increased. Q recast window increased.
Fervor of Battle had been providing Camille with a good deal of sustained damage. Without that, she's losing more trades. Rather than straight up increasing her trade power, we're giving her more room to use Q2 more effectively (and potentially while protected by her passive shield).

Passive - Adaptive Defenses

SHIELD DURATION1.5 seconds ⇒ 2 seconds

Q - Precision Protocol

WINDOW TO RECAST Q3 seconds ⇒ 3.5 seconds (delay for empowered attack still 1.5 seconds)
NEWWHAT TIME IS ITTimer displays on icon showing second cast availability

Darius

Passive bleed damage and bonus AD at max stacks increased.
Darius lost bonus attack damage from both runes and Fervor of Battle when we switched to the new system. While he got a base attack damage buff at the same time, his passive scales with bonus—not total—attack damage, and his trading pattern has suffered as a result.

Passive - Hemorrhage

BLEED DAMAGE PER STACK10-27 (at levels 1-18) ⇒ 13-30 (at levels 1-18)
BLEED DAMAGE AT 5 STACKS50-135 (at levels 1-18) ⇒ 65-150 (at levels 1-18)
NOXIAN MIGHT BONUS AD, LV 1-330 ⇒ 30/35/40
NOXIAN MIGHT BONUS AD, LV 4-635 ⇒ 45/50/55
NOXIAN MIGHT BONUS AD, LV 7-1040/50/60/70 ⇒ 60/65/70/75
NOXIAN MIGHT BONUS AD, LV 11-1380/90/100 ⇒ 85/95/105
NOXIAN MIGHT BONUS AD, LV 14-18120/140/160/180/200 ⇒ 130/155/180/205/230

Evelynn

W's magic resist shred now applies to the attack or ability that procs it.
Some feel-good usability tweaks

Recommended items

THIS DOES MORE THAN YOU'D THINKEvelynn's recommended items have been updated!

Passive - Demon Shade

BUGFIXWhen camouflaged, Evelynn is now properly warned when she's revealed by a turret

W - Allure

BUFF-FIXAllure's magic resist shred now applies to the attack or ability that procs it

Ezreal

Q ratio decreased.
Back when we buffed Mystic Shot in 7.17, Ezreal was struggling in the bot lane landscape. Flash forward seven patches, and with how strong Kleptomancy is on him, it's clear he no longer needs that additional baseline power.

Q - Mystic Shot

RATIO1.25 total attack damage ⇒ 1.1 total attack damage

Galio

W now deals damage to champions. Passive ratio decreased. E cooldown decreased.
Galio is struggling a bit, so we're buffing up his damage. However, we want to tie his strength to slightly riskier actions, like diving in with Justice Punch and landing a good Shield of Durand taunt. Essentially, as a beefy champion who also has the potential to dish out some damage, he should be rewarded for taking positional risks.

Passive - Colossal Smash

RATIO0.7 ability power ⇒ 0.5 ability power

W - Shield of Durand

NEWSHIELD BASHNow deals 20/30/40/50/60 (+0.2 ability power) - 60/90/120/120/150/180 (+0.6 ability power) damage to taunted champions, based on charge time
BUFF-FIXFixed a bug where the taunt duration of partially-channeled W casts was sometimes shorter than intended

E - Justice Punch

COOLDOWN14/13/12/11/10 seconds ⇒ 12/11/10/9/8 seconds

Ivern

Grove health cost decreased.
Ivern's historically relied on Triggerseed's low cooldown to help him survive fights. However, the transition from Thunderlord's Decree to the burstier-but-higher-cooldown Electrocute has given aggressive junglers an easier time taking Ivern down before he gets a second shield off. We're offsetting this systemic shift by reducing the health costs Ivern pays for clearing his own camps.

Passive - Friend of the Forest

GROVE HEALTH COST33%-11.75% (at levels 1-18) base health ⇒ 25%-8% (at levels 1-18) base health

Jarvan IV

Passive and Q damage decreased.
Electrocute's high burst damage means Jarvan is laying down serious gank kill threat, so we're taking away some of his base damage to compensate.

Passive - Martial Cadence

PERCENT HEALTH DAMAGE10% target's current health ⇒ 8% target's current health

Q - Dragon Strike

DAMAGE80/125/170/215/260 ⇒ 80/120/160/200/240

Karthus

R ratio increased.
Losing Deathfire Touch has hurt Karthus' overall teamfight damage and he doesn't have a solid replacement. As such, he just needs a bit more oomph.

R - Requiem

DAMAGE RATIO0.6 ability power ⇒ 0.75 ability power

Leona

W damage decreased.
Leona's always dealt a lot of magic damage, and with less magic resist in the system—plus the new Aftershock rune—it's too much.

W - Eclipse

BASE DAMAGE60/100/140/180/220 ⇒ 40/80/120/160/200

Malzahar

R damage decreased.
Malzahar should need to press more buttons to kill people.

R - Nether Grasp

DAMAGE125/225/325 (+1.1 ability power) ⇒ 125/200/275 (+0.8 ability power)

Maokai

Q damage decreased.
With less magic resist around, Maokai's high base damage has made him a bit too threatening for a tank.

Q - Bramble Smash

BASE DAMAGE70/115/160/205/250 ⇒ 65/105/145/185/225

Morgana

Base mana regen increased; mana regen growth decreased. Passive no longer procs on small units but heals more off everything else. W cooldown reduced when passive procs.
Morgana's existing laning pattern is pretty uninspiring: Press W on wave, get health back, keep laning. We're sharpening that pattern to give her more clear success and failure cases, and give opponents better windows in which to punish her (or deny her lane sustain). Trimming back that generic power allows us to make solo lane Morgana a lot stronger when played well.

Base stats

MANA REGEN8.5 per 5 seconds ⇒ 11.5 per 5 seconds
MANA REGEN GROWTH STAT0.8 ⇒ 0.4

Passive - Soul Siphon

REMOVEDSPELL VAMPNo longer grants 10/15/20% spell vamp
NEWDEFINITELY NOT SPELL VAMPMorgana heals for 15/20/25/30/35/40% (at levels 1/4/7/10/13/16) of the damage her abilities deal to champions, large minions, and large monsters

W - Tormented Soil

NEWFOMENTED TORMENTTormented Soil's cooldown is now reduced by 5% whenever Passive - Soul Siphon triggers

Ornn

W damage reduced, cooldown increased.
With Sunfire Cape buffs on the way (see below), Ornn's Bellows are going to be a bit too stoked—especially since he's already on the strong side—so we're dialing back his innate damage.

W - Bellows Breath

PERCENT HEALTH DAMAGE12/14/16/18/20% target's maximum health ⇒ 10/12/14/16/18% target's maximum health
COOLDOWN12/11/10/9/8 seconds ⇒ 13/12/11/10/9 seconds

Riven

Q damage increased.
Without Fervor of Battle, Riven is missing out on a decent amount of her sustained damage.

Q - Broken Wings

BASE DAMAGE PER HIT10/30/50/70/90 (+0.75 total attack damage) ⇒ 15/35/55/75/95 (+0.8 total attack damage)

Shen

Q damage bonus decreased.
Shen's ability to win trades on his base damage alone is making him a pretty oppressive top laner to face off against.

Q - Twilight Assault

BASE DAMAGE BONUS15/20/25/30/35/40 (at levels 1/4/7/10/13/16)⇒ 5/10/15/20/25/30 (at levels 1/4/7/10/13/16)

Sona

Q cost increased. Q aura's flat damage bonus decreased; ratio increased.
Even after her mid-patch nerfs back in 7.22, Sona's lane poke is overbearing.

Q - Hymn of Valor

COST45/50/55/60/65 mana ⇒ 60/65/70/75/80 mana
AURA DAMAGE BONUS20/30/40/50/60 (+0.2 ability power) ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 (+0.3 ability power)

Taric

Base armor decreased.
Lots of champions received bonus armor when we released Runes Reforged. Most champions don't have as many armor ratios as Taric does, though, and as a result he gained too much from those buffs.

Base stats

BASE ARMOR45 ⇒ 40

Xin Zhao

Base health decreased. W second hit ratio decreased.
Xin is proving too good at Pressing Three Attacks. Once he does, his baseline durability gives him too much freedom to unload on his target (and his overall damage is probably also a bit high).

Base stats

BASE HEALTH600 ⇒ 570

W - Wind Becomes Lightning

LINE DAMAGE RATIO0.85 total attack damage ⇒ 0.75 total attack damage

Yorick

Base attack damage decreased.
Yorick benefits from base attack damage more than almost any champ between his Triforce/Sterak's Gage synergy and his attack reset, which we recently changed to work on turrets. In combination with new runes like Demolish, the split-pushing grave digger has a bit too much damage to unearth on champions and towers alike.

Base stats

BASE ATTACK DAMAGE65 ⇒ 62

Zoe

W spell pickups last less long. E now travels less far, slows less, but lasts longer.
Zoe's Spell Thief pickups put a lot of pressure on her opponents. When they're on the ground, they're an extra burst of power they have to fear, and that can make it overwhelming to fight against her. Moreover, if an opponent does try to zone her away from the pickup, they have to do so for quite some time. Bringing that time down should give opponents more ability to exert influence in the lane.

Separately, we fixed a bug that was making it very difficult to cast Sleepy Trouble Bubble through walls unless you got right next to them. Now that players are going to be able to cast from slightly farther away from walls, we're afraid that will simply give her a longer threat range than intended, so we're taking a bit of the overall range out of that ability.

Q - Paddle Star

COOLDOWNNow begins after Q cast completes, not when it begins
WITHOUT A PADDLEFixed a bug where Zoe's Q - Paddle Star recast indicator would sometimes disappear when E - Sleepy Trouble Bubble was cast immediately after Q - Paddle Star
2 PADDLE 2 FURIOUSFixed a bug where Zoe's Q - Paddle Star recast indicator would linger when Q - Paddle Star was recast quickly
PIDDLY PADDLYFixed a bug where Zoe's Q - Paddle Star recast indicator would sometimes experience graphical bugs as the missile reached its max lifetime
FOLLOW ME!Fixed a bug where Zoe's R - Portal Jump occasionally failed to properly extend the range of Q - Paddle Star

W - Spell Thief

DURATION OF SPELL PICK-UPS FROM MINIONS40 seconds ⇒ 20 seconds

E - Sleepy Trouble Bubble

COOLDOWNRefund on hit ⇒ Refund on champion hit
DROWSY DURATION2 seconds ⇒ 2.2 seconds
SLOWDrowsy's progressively growing slow reduced by 20%
MAX TRAVEL DISTANCE AFTER PASSING OVER A WALL800 ⇒ 650
TRAP RADIUS290 ⇒ 250
MIKAEL'S ALARMMikael's Crucible now properly removes Sleep
BUBBLE TROUBLEFixed a bug where Zoe's E - Sleepy Trouble Bubbleoccasionally stopped short when cast directly next to a wall

Zyra

Base mana regen increased; mana regen growth decreased. W charge time reduced whenever Zyra kills an enemy. W no longer increases plant health.
Zyra's one of the champions that makes us have long discussions about what a healthy gameplay pattern is, even more so when she's t(h)orn between being a midlaner or a support. It also made us think about what it means to have champions transitioning from one lane to another and what that means for the game in general. 

We always get super excited whenever we see champions having fun play patterns in more than one role. For Zyra especially, we found ways for her to thrive as a support in a healthier way, but it wasn't all flowers just yet. This set of changes should provide our favorite fern more agency to go where she wants or where her team needs her the most.

Base stats

MANA REGEN8.5 per 5 seconds ⇒ 11.5 per 5 seconds
MANA REGEN GROWTH STAT0.8 ⇒ 0.4

Passive - Garden of Thorns

MAX SEED SPAWN RANGE1300 ⇒ 900
PLANT DURATION5/5.5/6/6.5/7/7.5 seconds (at levels 1/4/7/10/13/16) ⇒ 8 seconds at all levels
PASSIVE SEED DURATION45 seconds ⇒ 30 seconds (W seeds unchanged at 60 seconds)
PLANT HEALTH4-6, based on W rank ⇒ (see W notes below)
PLANT GOLD GRANTED ON KILL5 ⇒ 3

Damage taken by plants

Plants now die instantly to melee basic attacks but can survive more hits from damage over time effects and small minions/monsters. They're less durable in the late game against all other sources, since ranking up W no longer increases their health. As a side note, there are a few more plants overall.
  • RANGED BASIC ATTACKS2  4
    MELEE BASIC ATTACKS2  8
    SINGLE TARGET SPELLS4  8
    AREA-EFFECT SPELLS2  4
    DAMAGE OVER TIME EFFECTS2  1
    LARGE MINIONS/MONSTERS1  2
    SMALL MINIONS/MONSTERS1  1

W - Rampant Growth

REMOVEDMIGHTY OAKNo longer grants Zyra's plants 10/20/30/40/50% extra maximum health
NEWFERTILIZERWhen Zyra kills an enemy, Rampant Growth's recharge time is reduced by 20%, 100% for champion takedowns, large minion kills, and large monster kills.

Items

Bramble Vest

Reflect damage now has lower base damage but scales with armor.
Bramble Vest is still proving too strong a spot-counter against basic attackers, thanks to the spike of strength it provides against them. We're working to dial that back and ensure it doesn't take over the laning phase.
MAGIC DAMAGE REFLECT15 ⇒ 3 + 10% of bonus armor

Sunfire Cape

Aura damage increased.
The two items that have enabled consistent laning patterns for tanks this season have been Sunfire Cape and Bramble Vest. We're not really happy with the play patterns that arise from either being the go-to item on tanks: Sunfire Cape tends to lead to overly high base damage on tanks with little cost in overall durability, while Bramble Vests makes playing basic-attacking champions in top lane overly prohibitive.

However, without either of those items, it's become clear that tank laning patterns fall apart. At this point, it's clear that Sunfire Cape is the healthier dynamic, so we're reverting the changes from Patch 7.9, but we hope to revisit Sunfire Cape in the future.
AURA DAMAGE11 + 1/level ⇒ 25 + 1/level
BONUS DAMAGE TO MINIONS+200% ⇒ +50%
HI ORNNThese changes apply to Forgefire Cape as well

Runes

This is our first wide balance pass on the Runes paths! We've got a few case-by-case contexts in the tabs below, but are otherwise focused on ensuring no one option in any given row is overpowering its neighbors.

We're really happy with how Kleptomancy landed, but we still think there's room for improvements to the internal item generator system that feeds it. Our goal is to reduce the gap between extreme cases, be it the best-in-class champions using it, or champions who would fall behind and weren't able to recover from it.

    • An option to hide the preset runes pages is now in the client:
    • As noted by Riot Orphyre on twitter, the Mecha Aatrox and Mecha Kha'zix chroma have been updated to keep some of their chroma color when transformed.
    • Zoe's in-client bio was tweaked slightly:
    OLD: "As the aspect of youth, imagination, and change, Zoe acts as the divine messenger of Targon, heralding the major events that reshape worlds, before disappearing for hundreds or even thousands of years. Zoe's very presence alters the arcane mathematics which perhaps explains the breezy nonchalance with that she approaches the task and her tendency to focus instead on playing games, tricking mortals, or otherwise amusing herself. An encounter with The Everchild can be joyous and life affirming but it is always more than it appears... and always extremely dangerous."

    NEW: "As the embodiment of mischief, imagination, and change, Zoe acts as the cosmic messenger of Targon, heralding major events that reshape worlds. Her mere presence warps the arcane mathematics governing realities, sometimes causing cataclysms without conscious effort or malice. This perhaps explains the breezy nonchalance with which Zoe approaches her duties, giving her plenty of time to focus on playing games, tricking mortals, or otherwise amusing herself. An encounter with Zoe can be joyous and life affirming, but it is always more than it appears and often extremely dangerous."
