Patch 7.10 is bringing miniature reworks for Heimerdinger and Rammus amid a whole host of changes to other champions.
Patch 7.10 is coming soon and today RIOT announced the changes that will come with it. We will see fairly substantial buffs to Heimederdinger, a small-scale rework of Rammus and nerfs to several junglers as well as Fizz.
First up, here are the changes to The Revered Inventor himself:

This is probably the biggest list of changes to a single champion but Heimerdinger is far from the only champion to get changes in 7.10. Sejuani, Maokai and Zac all have tweaks following up from their recent major updates while fellow junglers Lee Sin and Rammus also have changes incoming. Rammus in particular will play very differently in 7.10, with his Q being changed into a channelled ability so you can better relive your Sonic days. Graves is having his Q weakened, Fizz is getting a small nerf and Ivern is also having the ease of his jungle clear reduced slightly.
For us solo queue players there are a bunch of quality of life changes coming too. Teams will be able to surrender at 15 minutes instead of 20, Your Shop is making its much-awaited return and you can finally mute the pings from that irritating Riven who keeps spamming for help.
