Hi Riot (Not a rage post, it's safe to come in :D)

I just wanted to ask a few specific questions so that hopefully you guys could answer without having to sift through poisoned rage.

The Xin buffs: What is the context for this? As in, why do you guys think Xin is lacking in damage and sustain? With these being straight buffs to an already mostly balanced champion, I am curious to why you feel he is currently lacking.

Alistar Buffering: Do you think that by making his W+Q combo much much easier to hit, it devalues the difference between good and great alistar players?

Lee Sin: With Lee becoming the poster child for calling out "Riot Favoritism", does the fact that he is relatively balanced matter as much as the fact that he can be extremely unfun to play against?

Alistar's combo is W+Q*

I'm assuming this is like the Darius buffs- giving him something to fall back on in case he doesn't snowball and needs to build tank.

I don't mean offense by this, and it's not necessarily targeted at you.

Why does Riot have to justify a PBE change to players who aren't posting on the PBE boards? Why is everybody acting like this change is something that's going to stick all the way through to the next patch? Players that aren't testing can look at the numbers all they want and speculate, but without play testing they'll still be calling an unknown OP.
