11.2 is also shaping up to be a significant game change, even though less than 20 champions are being tinkered with.

Mark Yetter has also confirmed that Rammus is getting a small rework.

Rammus Rework

Rammus is getting some much-needed love!

The goals of this change include:

Increase gameplay options for Rammus. Give a historically linear character more choices and interactions beyond just running at someone and taunting.
Giving Rammus players a distinctive high-point that properly reflects his high-speed fantasy.
Aim is to be power-neutral, with the understanding that these new tools probably buff him a bit at high MMR.
Improve clarity and satisfaction on both VFX and SFX

Changelist:

Puncturing Taunt (E)Taunt duration is increased by 250% on monsters.
- Cooldown :: 12/11.5/11/105/10 >>> 12 at all ranks
- Taunt Duration :: 1.25-2.25 >>> 1-2 seconds
- (Trimming some power here to account for his powerful new ultimate)
Soaring Slam (R)
- Rammus leaps into the air and slams down at a target location, dealing magic damage and Slowing enemies for 1 second.
- If Soaring Slam is cast while Rammus is in Powerball, enemies near the center are also Knocked Up and take Powerball's collision damage, ending Powerball's effect.
- Rammus also generates 3 additional aftershocks at the target location, each one dealing a small amount of magic damage and refreshing the initial slow.
- Soaring Slam deals 200% damage to turrets.
- Soaring Slam's range increased based on Rammus' Move Speed.
- Cooldown :: 100/80/60 >>> 120/100/80 seconds
