In the first preview for the upcoming League of Legends patch 11.7 the prevalent Everstone will receive a nerf, while Udyr is scheduled to take a big hit.
When it comes to champions Udyr is still a bit too effective and he’ll receive another nerf, not only to his abilities and kit but one of his core items, Turbo Chemtank, will also see a nerf. A lot of champions on the nerf list were quite expected, with most notably Hecarim and Rell on the chopping block.
11.7 Patch Preview
Should be a reasonable shakeup to the jungle, bot, and support metas. More info on the detailed changes tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/KhLgJSQZCJ

On the other hand a lot of champions will receive some (much needed) buffs, such as Kindred, Braum, Amumu, Yasuo and Ashe, among others. A lot of the more popular champions have fallen out of the meta, as they don’t make efficient use of some of the more popular items or just flat-out get outclassed.
On the item side of things a lot of focus is put on Everfrost, which has risen up as one of the most efficient items to build on champions such as Ahri and Sylas and has almost single-handedly brought the former back to the competitive stage. Turbo Chemtank is also a bit too strong and too popular of an item to build, as it’ll receive nerfs, also decreasing the effectiveness of champions like Hecarim (and Udyr) as a result. Serylda’s Grudge and Trinity Force will receive buffs.
