Lifesteal clarification

In the 10.23 patch notes, Riot incorrectly indicated that lifesteal now works on physical damage on-hit effects. To correct the record: When it comes to added damage on attacks, lifesteal applies to all effects labelled as on-hit (as denoted with a yellow sword). Currently, this type of effect is only found on items, not champions

In-game chat/shop updates

Riot has improved and standardized text editing across the shop and chat so things like CTRL+A to select all, cut, copy, and paste work as expected
Text editing works with mouse clicks for cursor positioning and drag selection
Items displayed in the shop build tree are now vertically centered
When selling a stacked item like a potion or ward, the stack will remain selected and only a single instance of the item will be sold
Pressing O and P at the same time no longer places the shop into an OP state where the scoreboard and shop overlap each other
Many bug fixes and performance improvements

Grandmaster and challenger unlocks

To make the race to be the first Grandmaster or Challenger more exciting, Riot has changed the unlock process.
Challenger and Grandmaster are still limited to the top couple hundred accounts on the server, but players must also have at least 200 LP in Master to reach Grandmaster, and at least 500 LP in Grandmaster to reach Challenger. Grandmaster and Challenger are no longer locked at the start of the season, so the race to be the first in your region starts on day one.
