Am I the only one upset about the Alistar Change?

Why does riot insist on making this game easier to play? Honestly, Ali was one of the most rewarding champions in the game to play and master. Being able to hit a headbutt-pulverize combo perfectly was one of the best feelings in the game, especially as a support. Yet, riot has to make it completely skill-less. Just like Lee-Sin was 'too hard' so they had to change his ult to make him noob friendly so he could ult tanks, instead of taking skill to get to the back line. Being able to show champion mastery is one of the aspects that I believe brings people to play this game. While game knowledge and knowing when to engage is incredibly important, being able to execute a champion to it's maximum ability allows for even more play making prowess and pride. Making the game easier really takes the fun and pride of hard work out of the game. I practiced Ali for a long time to master that combo. When I first started playing him I would headbutt to minions next to champions to ensure I could would land a q. I practiced and gained confidence to land a combo and it was extremely rewarding. Making the game easier to play ruins so many aspects that drew such a loyal fan base to the game in the first place. Not a fan Riot.
