Riot pls stop guting champs for dub reasons like its to op in pro play

aatrox azir ryze rakan...... those are all champions destroyed for solo que in low elo because they are to op in pro play think about your biggest player base the normal solo que players we are the victems of a system that isnt right for us we love somme champs but we just cant play them because tey arent strong enough for us But you dont buff them because ''PRO PLAY'' i am actually getting sick of not being able to play the champs i love and the only reason i cant is balancing for example why shoud i play kog maw and try to win but lose when i just can play MF and press r and win the game it is just not balanced but it doesnt change because pro play doesnt play it and kog maw isnt the only one getting this problem azir, rakan... are all getting this problem in low elo

so please wake up and do something because you are losing players because of it

aatrox azir ryze rakan

Those champs (and others) had other problems before being "gutted due to pro play", and it was the winrate on their mains: the winrate on the players that knew how to play them regardless of the elo reached absurdly high winrates.

Aatrox and Rakan were not exclusive to pros lmao

If anything Riot should do the opposite - Overbuff any champ thats considered weak and only make nerfs if winrates get high with ~5 or 6 games or fewer on them. If you play Rakan 12 times and only had 3 prior games, your WR on him should not reach 8-9 wins over those 12 games even if 8/15 is a balanced number. Its better to have every champion be good but others be TOO strong, then reel in a few nerfs slowly, than to do what they did to Akali MonkeyKing and RekSai

Generally, champs that feature in pro ban phase don't translate to lower elo solo/duo because they are dependent on teamwork. Behind that, I really don't feel any sympathy for higher elo 'one tricks' that change their main every other patch. If a pro power pick is also viable in solo queue, it needs a nerf. I've never been a fan of riot's push to learn 2 champs in a role. It works well for pushing out of bronze and plat. Basically you're restricting your rank to playtime with that srat. A 75%+ player should be able to adapt to game situations and play matchup from both sides. You shouldn't need a week to learn the new power pick.
