A Riot Games insider posted on Twitter about the newest changes in the game and the reasons behind the changes:

“We landed on pretty known changes to nudge a few champions in and out of meta. We weren’t looking to take large swings and get surprise 100% champs Nerfs are targeted at SoloQ (barring Rakan & Malph). Pulled Zoe for larger work; no ETA on timeline though.”
