Blitz buff and Tresh nerf was unreasonable

Item reworks and bugfixes were mostly nice, but this is just unreasonable, Blitz is already a very strong pick in low/medium elos, and Tresh now falls away from 100-200 late game shield without any reason. Did riot guys even check win rates/plays/stats on them?

We've got pretty different interpretations of the changes . We see the Blitz changes as nerfs overall (he's too strong overall, not just at lower Elos) and the Thresh changes as a buff (Shield now scales with Souls collected directly, rather than with the AP Souls offer).

Blitz is getting nerfed.

I hate to ask since it sounds like a stupid question, but did you actually read the patch notes?

People with abilities that, if you land them, will lead to an instant kill or burned flash one minute in is unfair. AP blitz can twoshot people, and thresh is nearly unkillable and has ridiculous CC and free AP. I think this explains it?

Blitz's nerf should've been to get rid of the silence on his ult and bump the CD up a tiny bit (like 10 seconds max across)

there was no point hitting his E.
