But sure, keep talking about Zed's imaginary buff and Syndra's true damage and Shen's well-earned nerf.
Keep thinking that Riot is intentionally trying to make the assassin meta return.
Bard gets a buff, and nobody says anything.
Makes me sad 
Lugg33 votesNo one said anything about Bard's buff because everyone knew he was underpowered and needed it to be viable.
As for Zed, his win rate has gone up 17 PERCENT since the patch went live. So much for "imaginary".
Kalista is so broken that a rework is the only hope for her at this point.
Azir still has bugs to be worked out.
Fizz has really NEVER been nerfed. They just move the power around in his kit and never address what is wrong with him.

Just saying that the Zed win rate might have gone up because there is just more Zed players in general, preparing for PROJECT hype.

the same thing happened once fiora Actually hit live, her win rate shot up because her rework was so powerful and everyone wanted to try it out. He's not imagining things, they are very much connected.
Lajneen5 votesZed's winrate is at 47%, the same as it always was.
Lugg6 votesThat's overall. Look at the rate for Challenger. It went up 17%. Coincidence? I don't think so. Only reason Zed's rate has ever been low is due to so many scrubs playing him. On mains he is ridiculously OP.
Lajneen33 votesYou're using Challenger winrates as an example? You realize that there are so few people in Challenger that every champions winrate changes drastically each day right? Hell, one player alone can decide whether Zed has 0% or 100% winrate in Challenger.
Lugg3 votesThat is why you compair the month long rates with the week long ones.
Lajneen26 votesThe fact that Twitch has a 89% winrate in Challenger should be enough to make you realize how ridiculous it is to use Challenger winrate as an example.
TotalJerk3 votesThis is the same Twitch that won Worlds, mind you.
Tannhäuser Gate4 votesTBF twitch is filthy when he gets a lead
Aych Pii1 votesHasn't twitch been nerfed heavily since the patch SSW won worlds on?
Sire Hippington2 voteshe's been nerfed a bit, but he also recived quite some buffs afterwards, so right now he's pretty close to where he was last worlds. i for one expect to see twitch return to proplay at worlds.
Alpharite2 votesNope, Twitch was nerfed BEFORE worlds in patch 4.10.
TotalJerk1 votesNope. He's actually been buffed.
KarKzz1 votesPoppy 80% winrate gg wp.
Sire Hippington2 votesa 16% winrate change is nothing special in challanger. He dropped by 22% from 7/29 to 7/30 for no reason at all, just to go up 11% the next day again... challanger winrates mean absolutly nothing due to the small samplesize. If it would be average winrate over a month, it might be enough, but lolking provides daily winrates...
joebob481 votesactually her win rate right when she hit live was very low
Vistha Kai2 votesZed's winrate went up by about 0.10%. Lugg thinks he's an expert on the game, while in the truth he's a bronze troll at best.
Lugg1 votesROFL, his win rate spiked hard.
Vistha Kai1 votesIKR 0.08%, they should nerf all his abilities in the monday's hotfix.
Lugg1 votesWhere are you getting 0.08? Other than just making it up.
Vistha Kai1 votesI'm not making anything up. I already told you where I got that information. Look for it. It's somewhere in this thread.
Lugg1 votesOk, I see now. You are using win rate for Plat+. Too bad I clearly stated that I was talking about Challenger.
Vistha Kai1 votesToo bad there are 200 Challengers per server and a champion's winrate and pickrate in Challenger can vary between 0% and 100% DAILY.
But why do I even try to reason with a troll.
Lugg1 votesFacepalm
I NEVER use daily stats. Heck I rarely use the weekly ones. If you look today, Zed's win increase from the monthly to the last week is up about 11%. This proves the entire point I was making that the reversion of his nerf was going to put him into OP territory again.
Vistha Kai1 votesYou are right. It proves a lot. Especially the fact that an average of COMPLETELY USELESS STATISTICS means anything.
TurquoiseYoshi1 votesI'm talking about the PBE. If there's a PBE win rate thing somewhere, I'd like to see it.
Lugg1 votesSorry, thought you were talking about the previous releases. Your OP was hazy about that since it didn't mention anything specific.
TurquoiseYoshi3 votesSorry about that. I thought it might have been kinda implied, as everything else was a PBE change, but I can see how you didn't see it. I say some hazy things a lot. Normally I think out these posts, but the OP was not one of them.
OverpoweredSoap3 votesKalista is so broken that a rework is the only hope for her at this point.
Kalista needs her jumping passive removed and possibly a change to her E.
Then she'd fine.
Her ult could be changed too, but thematically it's honestly very good.
Lugg2 votesRiot has already said they won't remove or change her passive.
OverpoweredSoap7 votesRiot has already said they won't remove or change her passive.
Well goodbye everyone it was very nice knowing all of you but I have better things to deal with than Riot deciding not to remove or change her passive because honestly that's a stupid decision.
iamleburk1 votesThey should just give her E a toggle, like jinx. Have the heavy spears apply rend stacks and do extra damage and the light spears do the 90% AD they do now and allow the hopping. the rest of her kit is fine
Booleans1 votesAD bruiser fizz was nerfed. As soon as you get 400 ap, around the mid to late transition, the higher ratio makes w hit harder. The biggest disparity at any point in the game with new W is 20 points, and as you complete your first few ap items the damage difference becomes negligible. Full build ap deals 20 more points of damage with w.
Sire Hippington2 votesas most experienced AP-fizz max W first, you hit the 20 damage difference at rank 9, you won't have more than 100-150 ap by then, so still 12.5-15 damage differnce per hit, which is atleast 50-60 in an all in, and 37.5-45 in a normal trade. Added with the ult nerf, which has a bit impact on AP fizz aswell as he still uses AAs+Q and has some base-AD, thats ~100 less damage in an level 9 all in. And if you don't get some early kills, you need a long long time to ever reach 400+ ap on him...
Illâoi Evê Siôn9 votesAfter 400 AP Fizz has been buffed :D
Anidan2 votesNerf to bases, buff to scaling. It's what people asked for. I see nothing wrong with it.
ArkenStorm2 votesthat removes tank fizz a little more from the equation. Which I would prefer. I want to be able to burst him in the few seconds I have off his troll pole, as opposed to not being able to kill him before it's up again.
Lajneen5 votesWhat do you expect? 95% of Gameplay & Balance are Bronzies. Everyone knows that Bronzies will never stop crying about Assassins, not even after they made Assassins useless.
TurquoiseYoshi8 votesWell, mathematically, 80% of the Boards would be Bronze-Gold, as that's where 80% of the playerbase is.
Totalis4 votesFizz w got 20 base damage off the max rank for another .05 ap ratio, which means its a buff once he gets past 400 ap, which really isnt that hard :/
iainB854 votesIt's a nerf to AD Fizz only, which I'm cool with.
TurquoiseYoshi2 votesAnd a hit at FIzz's Level 3 all-in.
SwapShadows3 votesLol did he really use challenger winrates to dictate how strong a champion is?
you do realize that taric could literally have 100% winrate in challenger?? challenger winrates mean absolutely nothing
Zone of Endless3 votesbards already good. Those buff doesn't change much. Mana isn't a huge issue for him and the lowered CD on E is just whatever
TurquoiseYoshi2 votesHe's kinda good in coordinated 5v5s, but in Solo Queue, he's crap because he can do literally nothing on his own.
Zone of Endless5 votesHe's kinda good in coordinated 5v5s, but in Solo Queue, he's crap because he can do literally nothing on his own.
not in my experience
Auz the Ripper1 votesA really good (or bad) bard can just ruin people's day He's like the Nunu of supports
