With Viego, the newest Champion in the game being released, there are a lot of calls to nerf the obnoxious champion due to his invulnerability when possessing champions and crazy ability to stay alive when he should arguably be dead. Expect him to be nerfed in the next update.

Riot has also detailed their thoughts on the state of gameplay and future changes they will make in the future - which you can read here.

This includes:

Item System Update
Item Shop
Position Balance
Burst Damage
Snowball
New Champs and VGUs

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
