Prior to the release of the above patch notes, Stephen "Mortdog" Mortimer from Riot Games shared a rundown on his YouTube channel. His patch preview went into the reasoning behind some of the updates.

However, as he mentioned at the start of the video, the preview notes "are subject to change if we find there's a bug or if something changes after this rundown." Nonetheless, it's still interesting to hear what he had to say about it all.
