Riot Scruffy Tweeted the upcoming changes for patch 11.9
11.9 Patch Preview
This is the MSI patch so we're hoping to add a bit of diversity to the pro meta. Also we have a few solo Q outliers (and overbuffs from last patch) that we wanted to tone down.

Can I ask why Fiddlesticks didn't get nerfed? His core item got nerfed in latest patch and I though it might do it but he is still overperforming.

Fiddlesticks is definitely looking strong but he didn't hit our Overpowered bands this patch. Our win rate metrics put him a bit lower than what you have cited here.
Are you guys satisfied with Akali right now? Seems like she's finally good in solo q without being a priority for pro play.
I think so? Definitely want to see more competitive patches but she seems in a much less pro-bound spot than she was before.
All right I am giving it my best shot on behalf of Lux-mains! Is it possible to get any buffs to her in the foreseeable future? In 11.8 she hit the worst stats as far as I can tell regarding S11, even her Mid WR dropped sub 50 in most ELO-s. Her support WR below 50% across most ELO all season.
She did not receive any reasonable changes since 10.17 (her shield nerf), but her WR-s went down significantly in both position in S11, especially support role, meaning that the item-changes and the massive meta shift kinda left her in a bad spot.
Given her being a very popular champion, I think some buffs to her would make a lot of people happy, without making her OP given how far from optimal she is at the moment in the current meta.
Any thoughts on this /u/Riotjag ?
We brought her up and she felt close to the line of buff territory. Maybe in the next few patches? Sorry, can't promise any more than that, but I do hear you.
