PLEASE consider changing back Draven's passive?

I haven't played in a few months, but since then, I see that there have been lots of changes to the UI. As far as I know, the issue with Draven's passive wasn't that it was badly balanced, it was that its power was invisible, because it looked like it was doing so little that it wasn't appreciated by the user but still very powerful. I remember Phreak having this discussion, where they couldn't make it strong enough to LOOK like it was working without it being too strong. Something to do with that.

At the very least, is there a way you can tweak Draven's passive not to be so swingy? Because if he falls behind, he literally has no passive. If he has a good laning phase and has 200 stacks and gets ganked, it's absolutely brutal because in addition to falling behind he loses out on that gold. Don't get me wrong, if he gets ahead and cashes in, he gets REALLY ahead; but it leaves Draven in this awkward position of janky swinginess for the midgame.

Can we try Draven's old passive again now that there's the improved DoT interface? Please Riot. I beg you.

Can anyone at least explain why I'm being downvoted?

That statement right there, is probably why you're being downvoted. It was horribly balanced. Based on another quote from your post, you seen uninformed.

I can't dig up the quote right now, but what he actually said was he that they no matter how much they tweaked the numbers of( Draven's old passive), It would be impossible to put it in the perfect spot; it always ended up overwhelming or underwhelming in relation to the game.

Because nobody wants Draven's old passive back.

We may not want his current passive, but trust me. We don't want him to get his old passive again.
