Nerfing champions solely because of pro play

Dear Riot,

Can you please stop nerfing balanced champions into oblivion solely because they see pro play? Almost the entire community is made up of your casual gamer, so nerfing champions that are actually quite balanced and have a 50% winrate is honestly quite dumb. So many champions have been made unplayable just because a pro does well with them. Please stop.

Thanks.

Just make pro play its own game at this point.

Shall we balance LoL for bronze players now or what? If a champ is capable of being ultra op in a specific elo he should be nerfed and that also includes Grandmaster+

If you are too bad for a specific champ get better or pick an easy one.

I rather have some champs not picked in low elo (because 45% winrate) than the same champs on a 60% winrate in high elo. Champions that are "up" are less harmful than champs that are "op"!

The Yuumi nerfs that they called "buffs" on a champ that had a sub 37% GLOBAL w/r made no sense whatsoever unless you realized that a few pro players were dominating with her while the remaining 99% of the community found her underperforming. I don't know how many times I heard "plz not Yuumi" or had a team member ban my declared Yuumi because collectively the vast majority of players thought she was garbo. Then I made the mistake of trying to 1-trick Yuumi, foolishly thinking she wouldn't be nerfed because she had the lowest win rate in the game lol was I ever wrong.

Nerfs and buffs don't affect the casual player as much as the pros.

You have to understand. If you play the champion at 100% efficiency, a 3% nerf is gonna be felt.

If you play the champ at 25%-30% efficiency (like most people up to diamond 4) a 3% nerf is not gonna be felt. You are already losing 70-75% of the champs value because you are bad. Stop crying about the 3% you weren't MAKING USE OF ANYWAY.

People come here and cry about small nerfs when they can easily overcome them by getting a little bit better at the game.
