Riot please consider other less played champions and actually balance for them when you remove items

And not just let them sit in a grave for 2 or 4 weeks because you couldn't be bothered to change them for that patch or thought that no one would really care when a unpopular champion gets it's core item pried from it's hands

This balance method really pisses me off, it indicates that you just don't give a shit about champs who have lower popularity and would rather BUFF PROBLEMATIC CHAMPIONS WHO ABUSE THE CORE ITEM and give them well thought out compensation changes they just don't need, cough Fizz cough For the people who actually enjoy these champions you either force them to play in a intense massively weakened state for 2 weeks or over, or just use Zed and other Riot sugarchildren

Balance patches are for balancing, not unbalancing, unpopular champions deserve as much attention and care as popular champions

They do though. They've buffed several unpopular champions last year, and they buffed some champions interaction with roles that were also underplayed. (malphite top, Mage fortune etc)

If they haven't been doing anything to some champions like yorick, or Mordekaiser, it's probably because they're in the process of reworking them entirely.

not really, it's happened many times with re balancing items or just removing them in general, Lichbane took a while for the champions who depend on it to get a buff it's clear that they have massive priorities over other champions

Wait you mean Patch 4.4?

Multiple Lich Bane using champs were buffed on that patch, the same patch Lich Bane was nerfed. Where is the 2 to 4 weeks you are talking about?

Honestly the only fizz ive seen do well is AD fizz. They should have kept him as is. It would be a good change and he still would need the shark because he cant DFG Q E AA and kill someone because DFG is removed.
