Stop nerfing my champions and calling it a buff!

First Riot decides to call adjustments to Lux's shield a buff, it's easier to land on allies they say, and it stacks :) But it also moves as slow as molasses, and doesn't have as high a theoretical shield value without the refresh. BUFF or NERF, debatable

Now they FLATTEN Leona's base damages and give a little bit back through some autos tied to her ult. So now Leona really is a one trick pony. BUT we didn't want her to be a one trick pony riot says so we upped a few range bonuses, gave her autos after an ult 15% ap scaling (wow thanks) and reduced the cooldown on q (because we thought diminished returns on CDR scaling are more important than base dmg).

I'm sorry, I play Leo at a high level. I may have to stop playing her now because she's no longer viable and has no cost effective way to increase her damage anymore. Especially when her ult's on cooldown.

I am straight up offended that they called this a Leo 'buff'.

PS: I'm also a mathematician so don't tell me she somehow does more damage now, because that's absurd, even with the passive added to her ult. Maybe if sunlight proc'd as LEONA's spell effect the new passive on her ult would scale well with Liandry's torment... post 45 minutes... but it doesn't, it procs allies spell effects.

LEONAS NO LONGER VIABLE???

WHY BECAUSE SHE GETS TO USE HER STUN MORE? AND HER ROOT LAST LONGER? AND HER ULT APPLIES A DMG BUFF

Nobody ever advertised the Lux changes as anything other than a nerf and the Leona changes are intended to be a change rather than a buff or nerf. So stop complaining.

The leo change is only a buff at like lvl 17 or 18. Once everything is maxed you can pretty much perma stun someone into oblivion, which is toxic and what most people hate about her. Her early game however took huge dmg nerfs accross the board. Gl being in range for those useless extra hit when you engage with ult at max range. And all the base skill dmg reductions have resulted in a lot of people getting away from me with 100- 200 hp. Thats just a straight early game nerf for super late game buff. Terrible idea imo.
