What patch 5.2 has done in reality

I'm posting this in hopes of further explanation from Riot.

I've been with league since season 2 and the game has almost entirely changed over the years but I've never been upset or unexcited about changes ever until now. With the release of ZZ'rots portal I was blown away that riot would add and item that allows for strong wave pushing and large pressure especially with champs like shen who can sit with it then return to his team without a care. Its also absolutely broken when Hiemerdinger (all raise your dongers) and then surrounds it with 3 turrets at your inhibitor turrets its not possible to get near it and kill it for the whole enemy team collapses on you if you try, and the pushing power is impossible to counter and then make it only kill-able by Auto attacks? what were you thinking? Secondly I'vs been here through league of tanks league of Farm Junglers and league of assassins and never had I seen you guys just outright demolish the problem champs and there item in one go. what made you chose this? what made you think it was the way to go with league of legends? I personally can see the champ changes as good (excluding two of them). Now why did you take away Ahris damage buff on her E? it would have kept her as an assassin and yet the removal of DFG would stop Crazy burst maybe you could have just nerfed it? The second is Fizz. He can now no longer do the job everyone counted on him for which was being a hyper carry. He can now only killl someone with his ult from what I can see and how is that fun to play? Before he was agreed over powdered but the Q Nerf was too hard will the W change really make up for it? IMO the E may have been nerfed a slight bit instead of just the Q how are we to poke in lane anymore if we have to blow Q and E to deal damage?

If you guys at riot could reply to this I would love to hear back
thanks guys, we love you but we are just a little confused - TMan2DMax

I voted no, but I'm glad that fizz got nerfed. Zed's nerf is not all that significant though. Ahri took the biggest hit with fizz, but I like ahri lol.

While I agree with most change to champions, ahri has gotten hit quite hard but we will see if it is too much. For fizz, I hate the change. I always thought when playing fizz that his ult was to allow him to "split the enemy team" not "lend to kill", you now need to target the one you want to kill or else he will live... Zed wasn't hurt enough. Still too safe, too much wave clear, just like lee he does more then what he should.

I think they did the nerfs wrong so I voted no.....

Ahri is kinda lame now. Zed was barely touched. Akali was made super clunky. Only Fizz nerfs seem to maybe have been done right.

Assassins nurfed? But nidalee got a huge buff.

I think uncounterable 100-0 interactions are unhealthy. Assassins can be a more balanced part of the game, and removing DFG is a big step in restoring counterplay, in general, to assassins. It's a healthy change, even if it takes awhile to iron out.

You make some good points about Zz'rot portal. Once I see it more in game, I'll be able to comment better. As an aside, you can kill heim turrets with spells, and then auto attack the portal... it's not like he can replace them quickly after the first time. Takes awhile to stack Heim turrets.

It's wrecked a bunch of junglers AGAIN, it's wrecked a bunch of mages, it's done nothing to Zed, and it didn't bother Cass at all... Shit patch.

Oh, Akali plays like shit now, and Ahri still doesn't have her old damage on skills but lost the damage amp. Fizz was perhaps rightfully fucked, but he's also shit. Meh.

At first I thought Ahri's damage amp getting removed was a tooltip error...but I guess Riot went through with it.

Fizz nerfs did not removed his damage from a fully-utilized combo. What did happen is that QSS counters him very hard now, and urchin strike being dodged by movement skills makes Fizz absurdly unreliable as an assassin, even less reliable than a badly played Zed.

They fucked Fizz over I understand he was probably a bit OP and annoying to deal with but they nerfed him the wrong way and everyone except Rito knows it.

All they had to do was nerf his E cooldown and remove grievious wounds and he would have been fine.
