Probably gonna boycott this game if the Kassadin nerfs go through

Don't even play him much. Hell, I main jungle, and find that he can be a pain in the ass to gank pre-6. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I was in game and thought to myself "Man Kassadin is OP," because it has been that long. There are so many champions right now LeeSin Nidalee Zed Kalista who need a nerf way more than him. (JarvanIV wasn't including because he's getting nerfed next patch).

But really? Taking off nearly half of it's range? To put in perspective, Nidalee courgar W is 375 units, Kassadin's new ult will be 450. 75 less range, however manaless and way more spammable, along with being available at level 3. Not to forget that Nidalee can literally do anything right now. AD works, AP works, Bruiser works, support works, jungle assassin works, ADC works. Kassadin can go full AP or be an AP bruiser.

This where I draw the line for how ridiculous the 'balance' team is right now. I literally think at this point they think "Who should we gut next for no reason, who doesn't make LC$ Big Plays?" Ever since the Kha'Zix & Nidalee reworks back in 4.10 this game's 'balance' has gone downhill. Kha'Zix went from basically one of the top 3 junglers (with Nidalee and Elise) to being absolute shit, especially when compared to his former self. He lost so much in one patch, meanwhile Nidalee went from a bullshit champ to a bullshit champ who is now also tanky. Then later on Elise gets hit. Then we come to the release of Gnar, who got buffed because people didn't know how to play him. Yep. That's why, because people were't good day one, so they buffed him, and then people learned to play him (although he isn't too bad now). Then jungle gets reworked. Many champions are royally fucked from those without sustain Evelynn to those who simply rely too much on mana Skarner, But LeeSin is left untouched. Of the 3 jungle gods Khazix Elise LeeSin only one is left untouched meanwhile the other two are pretty much unplayable. Then we have Kalista. Because why not give someone Vayne Q on an auto attack.

So basically the whole point of this rant is... what the hell has happened to "balance" ever since the middle of Season 4?

I remember starting playing this game around last January. First champion I ever really "mained" was Varus. Just thought he looked cool. But then I started maining jungle, and found Khazix. And then 4.10 happened. Pretty much my least favorite patch to date. Kha'Zix has never been the same. He does no damage at all right now if you're not isolated, which is pretty much impossible to do since the range got increased and now towers count as allies. Then he lost his Execute on evolved E. Then they took off damage reduction on his evolved ultimate. And in that same patch another champion got buffed hard as hell. I guess that's when I first realized Riot hates junglers who aren't LeeSin.

TL;DR: Since the middle of season 4, balance has slowly slipped from this game. Seriously, what the actually fuck is going on?

Never forget Khazix. You had a brief moment towards the beginning of the pre-season, but alas, you aren't allowed to do good apparently.

no worries, nidalee can have a free garen ult on Q and free kass ult on E for no mana cost cuz she's "balanced" something bout kass and garen is clearly OP

Likewise, Annie can have a free AoE instant stun the summons a tanky bear with a sunfire cape on that also now recieves her fire shield, but veigar isn't allowed to instant stun on a thin circle that has to actually be aimed.

Granted, I made Annies deal sound way better than the good old master of evil, cause what if Annie screws up and her passive is used on her AoE Cone!

Or a single target unavoidable targeted spell!

Boycotts are usually to achieve a change due to the loss in demand; you should pick a more appropriate word or phrase, like "I quit".
