Riot lead gameplay designer Mark “Scruffy” Yetter tweeted out a Patch 9.24 preview yesterday, showing all the changes potentially hitting the Rift in the last update of the year. Devs and players alike felt that the Conqueror rune was unhealthy on ranged champions. This patch should address that, along with buffing and nerfing some outliers. And a balance hotfix (9.24b) is scheduled for late December.

Here are all the changes in the Patch 9.24 preview.
