Context & Notes

1) Riot Scruffy provided a preview of upcoming balance for 11.5:
"11.5 Patch Preview  
There are a number of these where we're targeting nerfs or buffs on a specific position, so some of the changes will be skewed towards that.  
Full changes should be ready tomorrow."

2) Riot Captain Gameplay provided context on some item change reverts:
"Ward placement range passive on Shard of True Ice and Black Mist Scythe will be pulled for now, but will likely show up again in the near future:
3) Here's Riot KiWiKiD with a list of upcoming skins changes:

Yuubee
2/22 update: Hey everyone! I has an update: 
  • Eyebrows - We'll be thinning Yuubee's eyebrows due to popular feedback to make her look less angry.
  • Book - We tried the flower instead of the book but we found that this end result was the best compromise on power and lore.
  • Name - We will be keeping Yuubee, sorry all #Beemi team. We think it fits the best and we see a lot of team #Yuubee comments in here as well.
  • Tail - We will look in what makes the honey dipper part awkward and consider moving the pattern up by one. We'll need to check if it's a animation compression issue.
Bee'Maw
2/22 update: Hey everyone, unfortunately the rig and anim set for monarch Kog'Maw is too old to use on our newer Kog'Maw models. We cannot add Monarch's walk cycle onto Bee'Maw. I'm so sorry, I really really wanted this too :(
