Other changes that should hit PBE later today, as Tweeted by Mark Yetter:
“9.17 Patch Preview: Hitting a few dominant champs and mostly nudging up low performers. Changes should trickle onto PBE and I’ll post an update tomorrow with the specifics.”
“Visibility must not be super high – the Neeko changes are just small usability improvements on her passive. Nothing major.” (source)

According to Riot Mort, the experimental changes to the items we’ve seen here are still being tested in TFT 9.17 on PBE, except for the Morello/Red Buff which are reverted:
“TFT PBE – From these changes I’m reverting the Morello/Red Buff changes to match live. (Pretty happy with live state of these two items.) The rest of it will stay though for testing. Still not for sure shipping, but worth checking out.”
