Patch 13.23 Datamine
The upcoming update for League of Legends Patch 13.23 shows changes to champions, game modes, and the gold that turrets give once destroyed.
It seems that Riot Games is looking into nerfing quite strong picks like K'Sante, and also buffing Vel'koz after months of pleas from the players.

Global Arena Buff
Some small additions to the Arena game mode were also added as it seems Riot Games intends Arena to become a permanent part of the League of Legends client.
- Removed: "Tenacity and slow resist bonus momentarily increases for each second a champion is continuously immobilized."
- Added: "Combo Breaker: if you have been immobilized or unable to act for 5 of the last 7 seconds, you break free, becoming Unstoppable for 3s."
Summary and Community Reactions
Overall, Riot caved into the backlash surrounding Riven and is looking into buffing her for the time being, while also buffing Vel'Koz after much debate from the community in the latest 13.23 Patch.
The devs are also nerfing Naafiri, Jarvan IV, Azir, and Ziggs as they can be quite problematic, especially considering the pick rate for Ziggs in games.
Some players believe that Vel'Koz needs better treatment and changes as a damage increase will not help the champion's struggles.

Some are hesitant about the current changes to Ziggs as they fear it might kill the champion entirely.
