Today's spotlight shines on the "State of the Season: Mid-season followup" article, in which Riot describe how they feel the changes they've made this season have influenced the game so far and what their plans are for the (near) future. Other interesting articles include Hextech Mystery Champion Shards being added into the shop, a new episode of Ask Riot, and of course the regular free champion rotation post.
