11.24b Patch Preview
Here's Riot Phlox with a
balance preview
for the 11.24b patch that will span the holiday break:
"11.24b preview coming in hot!
This will be a micropatch Wednesday focused on anything we don't want to let sit over the holidays. It's the last patch of the year!
We've definitely got more changes on our radar than the ones in this patch, but those will be for 12.1 next year."
TFT 11.24b Preview
Here's Riot Mort with a
TFT 11.24b changelist:
"Patch 11.24B - Here is the preview for the changes you can expect tomorrow. We normally wouldn't do a B-patch this large, but with the holiday break, want to make sure you have as enjoyable of an experience as possible.
Will tweet again tomorrow when it is live. Thanks all!"

Context & Notes
1) Changes to Janna have been testing on the PBE, here's
Riot August
with more:
"We have a Janna update for 12.1 that should be showing up on the PBE soon (feedback is appreciated).
Summary: We're draining lane poke power out of her W + AA's and focusing it into utility. Q is now a much stronger spell when used offensively.
2) Here's Riot Katana with an update
on Firelight Ekko:
"Hey all, I wanted to say that we really appreciate the discussion around Firelight Ekko's lack of SFX. We completely agree that SFX are a standard and expected part of an Epic (1350) skin, and leaving them out was an unfortunate mistake on our part due to a miscommunication internally. While we do everything we can to avoid delaying content, we're going to hold off from shipping this skin for a few patches to work on adding new SFX. This also means the skin will come off of PBE for now.
We are also going to take advantage of the extra time to address some of the other feedback we’ve seen on PBE including a unique homeguard. Homeguard animations are a feature that we have included on a very limited set of Epic skins when we feel it meaningfully helps sell the fantasy in a way that we couldn't otherwise. I want to reinforce that this level of scope is not something we can add during a regular PBE cycle or to every Epic skin due to time constraints, but we're also in an unusual situation with Ekko. Given that the SFX addition will give us more time than a normal PBE cycle and because we agree with your feedback that adding this animation strongly contributes to Firelight Ekko's story and the celebration of Arcane, we will be including a hoverboard Homeguard animation to go live with the new SFX. Since many players have voiced they’d like to see Ekko with his mask on more, we’ll make sure to include it in the homeguard animation as well. We’ll also be taking a look at his VFX to make some small adjustments there.
I know many of you are waiting patiently for this skin, and hope the final results will be worth the extra wait. Thanks"
