Context & Notes

1) Riot Scruffy provided a preview of Patch 10.23 changes:
"10.23 Patch Preview - PRESEASON! 
It's a big preseason, so much is changing that we don't have our typical champion buffs and nerfs.  
We'll be watching everything very closely after Preseason ships to be ready for hotfixing bugs, items, and champions that we need to."
He added that all the changes would be noted in a large set of patch notes:
"I will not be, monster patch notes will be coming next week."

2)  Kiwikid noted that Battlecast Zac's splash art was going to be tweaked, making it lighter to better reflect the in-game model.

3) Over on reddit, Reav3 noted they plan on buffing mid-lane Seraphine - 

[1] "We saw that as well. We are currently working on a changelist to buff her mid WR" 
 
[2] "One thing we are experimenting with is making her E not do reduced damage to minions, which shouldn't effect her support WR while making her a bit stronger in mid" 

4) Scruffy tweeted out a full Seraphine changelist:

"First patch is showing us that Seraphine has been skewed towards Support more than intended so we're adding  adjustments to 10.23 to shift her primary position to Mid. 

Support is quite good right now, so these shouldn't remove the position, just bring it to a reasonable state."
