Before the smaller patch 10.25b ends the League of Legends year, Gameplay Design Director Mark Yetter has already announced the first changes for Season 11.
Although the holidays are coming up soon, Riot Games continues to work diligently on the balance in League of Legends. Gameplay Design Director Mark Yetter has now announced the first changes for the upcoming patch 11.1 via Twitter. 11.1 will usher in the eleventh season in LoL.
For 11.1 we're doing a burst damage pass across a bunch of items. Shifting pure upfront burst into stats (overall not nerfs or buffs, just adjustments)
