@Riot why do nerfs have to mean making a champion annoying to play?

Let's take the hecarim changes for example. His passive made his playstyle smooth, and it was removed because he was strong in lane. When in reality this could have all been fixed if you reduced his healing from minions (without reducing healing from jungle monsters if we want to keep him strong in jungle) and/or if you removed rampage's ability to stack on regular minions.

So why is it that nerfs to champions just have to make them feel bad and discourage the playerbase from playing them?

I do agree with this, he could have been nerfed in other ways that would reduce his effectiveness in lane without removing his personality. With the removal, I who have been playing hecarim since late season four really feels disappointing in playing him now due to the lost of his passive.

I've been playing him since season 3. I joined League of Legends because I though Hecarim and Nocturne were the coolest things ever. I am VERY disappointed.
