Just another day at the company that insists its decisions are beyond reproach:

Blast Cone: "The river-accessing blast cones (especially in top lane) put too much pressure on laners to not only win lane, but also control the early blast cone to avoid ganks. That gameplay is cool, but having it show up that early in the game is a bit much."

Tracker's Knife: "Tracker's Knife is almost mandatory in professional play, giving professional teams enough vision to avoid most early-game danger. Bringing it in line would kill it in most games, so for now we're simply removing it"

NOTE: This is in the same patch. Not even gonna mention the uh.. logic.. behind Tracker's Knife's removal as it's already got it's own funny post.
