18.3b·Mid-patch update·Sep 24

Kha’Zix and Blackthorn trimmed, 18.2b changes restored

A mid-patch update that answers meta shifts the main patch missed and restores several 18.2b balance changes that were unintentionally rolled back in 18.3. A hotfix on September 28 switched off the Major Polymorph Wisp.
