Just once, I want a champ I enjoy to not be destroyed.

Poppy's rework came out, right? I loved it. She was fucking adorable, her kit was fun, and I could take her jungle. I actually enjoyed it, and had fun with League for a while.

... but people cried about how "weak" she was, and so Riot broke her. She became pick or ban, meaning I couldn't play her anymore, and then Riot gutted her, and her kit just wasn't the same. And, as if that wasn't enough, she got nerfed again! Now she cannot be played as anything but a tank (you can build bruiser, but it's just bad now), and her kit is just wonky and not fun like it used to be.

So, my favorite champ out of all of them? Doesn't exist anymore.

Then I picked up Lulu, and that Star Guardian skin came out, so I had another champ I enjoyed, since I like being support-y, but I could take her mid and be a damage threat.

... but that's not allowed. So Lulu was nerfed out of solo lanes, and then the one shot meta started, and Lulu countered it, so she became pick or ban. I can still play Lulu mid, but she does so little damage now that I may as well play Soraka mid.

Then Zoe shows up, but I'm not allowed to play her since she's "broken." Fully expecting Riot to gut her like they did Poppy and Lulu, and that'll be the third champ I enjoyed that I don't get to enjoy anymore.

Just once, can that not happen? Can I have just one champ I can enjoy that isn't taken away?

I don't think poppy is bad currently though, and she can be built bruiser (I do titanic with a dmg build usually on my alternate account and it works well). I go trinity on both my accounts and it works well too, only in jg though. Although riot is generally bad at getting a champ that is balanced in 2 or more roles, I feel like poppy is in a decent spot.

If you continue to play champions that aren't in the best spot when they do receive buffs or positive changes you will find a lot more success. If you really enjoy a champion there's almost always a way to make them work, and a nerf shouldn't completely push you away.

Camille Loved her when she was released, didn't quite understand why people thought she is OP, since I was stomping every Camille I was facing at top lane.

But that's how it is. Game balance over your personal enjoyment.

Join the fucking club. I've had Rengar AND Katarina ruined, and I've been playing Katarina for 7 years now.
