Riot's balance gets a 0/10, would not let balance my game in S5.

Multiple sub 40% win rate champions. Remember that joke NERF THEM TO THE GROUND? Riot went vintage in S5. Multiple times.

Multiple autowin champions that STILL have not been nerfed (Kalista? Lissandra? wtf?) Are you stubborn or just completely out of touch?

Morellonomicon is BLATANTLY OP and being built on every mage and you remove DFG? Wtf? Once again, are you just completely out of touch? Nobody even built DFG, everyone went Morellonomicon.

LW/VS still untouched.

Mages taking over top lane, sweeping nerfs to tank items AGAIN in S5? Was anybody complaining MR items were OP?

The jungle.

Is this a joke? You point out winrate then say Kalista is OP? Are you aware Kalista's winrate is 46% currently? And that Lissandra's is almost exactly 50%? Morello is OP yet it was almost necer built until the other mana regen items got nerfed?

I feel like this is an obvious troll but I'm biting anyway....

P.S. there aren't any first buy MR items because champions dont have base AP or the ability to spam spells with a tiny mana pool and no mana regen

Rito: "Players feel more powerful with knockups and mobility, so we put them on every new champion over regular CC and damage."

Playerbase: "They probably feel more powerful because knockups and mobility are uncounterable and anti-fun-"

Rito: "What? Being uncounterable doesn't make it better." .

I hate to agree with you, but you are right nonetheless.

In the second half of Season 4, the only champions that got nerfed to this degree was Cassiopeia and Yasuo. However, S5 has just started and Azir, Kass, and Veigar has already kicked the bucket in terms of competitiveness.

Meanwhile, actually OP champions such as Lee and Kalista remains untouched.

LW/VS is still extremely good efficient, and only a poor buy if you are thousands of gold ahead and can afford to flat out purchase a completed item.

I am unsure where Rito is going with these changes. Currently, the only method to tank is to play champions designed exactly for the purpose and offers little else. Even so, the sweeping tank nerfs only make the top of the crop (Sej, Naut, etc.) viable as tanks.
