Some Nerfs are Too Much

Just saying now, this will be about the Poppy and Lux nerfs that are currently floating around the pbe. You know, both of these champs are fine in their current state. But now, they are both getting hard nerfs. Lux is already an underperformer across all skill brackets, while Poppy is straight up unseen. In the meanwhile, Riot decides that despite that, both of these already not great champions are going to be receiving "powershifts". Lux will get a little lower CD on her spells and a little less on the mana costs, along with a slight increase in her early game Q power, but in exchange, her E is gutted, being made much smaller, and going much slower. Forget, hitting people with it, good luck trying to even zone people with it.

And then Poppy. Poppy Movespeed lowered from 345 to 340 Iron Ambassador (Passive) range on buckler throw increased from 300 to 350.

Steadfast Presence (W) Movement speed lowered from 32/34/36/38/40% to 30% at all ranks Armor and MR lowered from 15% to 10%

Heroic Charge (E) Range increased from 425 to 475

Keeper's Verdict (R) [Effect Changed] Uncharged Keeper's Verdict knockup duration now .75 seconds at all ranks [Tooltip Changed] Now notes: "Enemies hit with a charged Keeper's Verdict are untargetable." [this means uncharged targets hit are no longer untargetable!]

So... That's 50 increased range ơn 2 spells. In exchange for massively reduced utility and tankiness. I don't even want to talk about this, but, there goes my ganks on poppy jungle, and there goes any possibility of being a viable support with that reduction in resistances...

So I guess now that's two less champions is my pool.

Funny thing the change to lux was supposed to be a buff. Oh you forgot the hp x level Nerf and the w buff that makes shield istant and full value even without hitting an ally. She's going to be better as a support now, when it's actually possible to don't rely on E..
