Riot did it again

OK, riot, you love screwing with things you shouldn't. And it's been almost fine up until now. A long time ago I wrote a little paragraph on what champs were OP. Well you nerfed them later on and literally every single champ on that list was nerfed and I'm glad to see that you listen to some of your player base. However the fact that you know you nerfed Zoe too hard and didn't do any thing about it is ridiculous. your job is to create a balanced game, not one with bull shit that has no counter play. For instance this last patch you buffed zed. Why you would do this I don't know because not only dose he not use mana but his ultimate, if you take half of someone's health, kills them instantly. He gets so close to people that his "skill shots" are practically not skill shots anymore. As well as swain. Great rework by the way. However you are known to make your champ reworks very op. So I will politely say, WHY THE HELL DID YOU BUFF HIM. :) So in conclusion just balance the game please. after all you know what needs to be done. The fact that you changed your profile picture to Zoe crying proves that. So don't play the dumb game and balance things and all will be well and I can guarantee you will get a massive portion of your player base back.

Look, alot of people agree that while Zoe may not actually be "Op" in the most common sense of the word she is toxic due to her kit design. She literally suffers from old Nidalee syndrome where all of her damage is put into one skill and it hits like a fucking mack truck. The problem with this is the fact that it's too punishing to get hit by it.

Basically this. Her power budget is hugely put into her Q, with the other three abilities designed to help her land the Paddle Star. Her passive is kinda a sheen proc, but it's rewards her for getting closer to auto attack with (More likely she'll take damage).

And sure Riot knows they knocked her down a few too many pegs, but it was the goal. They knew that if they chipped away at her over the course of a few patches, it would just make the nerfs bleed out into other things. (Making unnecessary balance changes to Zoe that don't pertain to her actual flaws.) Instead, the plan was to hit her hard, then return power to her in a healthier way that didn't include reverting anything that they had put out the first time.
