Context & Notes

1) Here's Riot MapleNectar with a look at tentative balance changes this cycle:
[1] Hey all! Here are the current planned changes for 9.7 though there may still be some additions or removals from the list. Will try to answer questions as I have time today if folks have any.
[2] Worth noting that we're not shipping Orianna or Aftershock changes that poked their head onto the PBE briefly
[3] It's highly likely that Aftershock appears again in the near future, but we didn't want to rush it out this patch.
