So patch 11.8 is coming to an end and patch 11.9 (arriving to the live server at April 28th) is expected to bring plenty of changes to League of Legends Meta. Also, with the preparation for the MSI 2021, Riot Games said that they were looking to find some “diversified crew” to Pro Players so that popular new likes Hecarim or Gragas had been put down for some old and familiar faces such as Shen or Lulu to rise back again.
The full patch notes for 11.9 is posted here on the League of Legends site.
