This is ghostcrawler's work plain and simple

He assassinated World of Warcraft and left it in a wheelchair, he's assassinating Riot right now. Reworks that turn out monsters like Mordekaisers, handouts to make monsters like Gangplank (New 30% cooldown mana return item with easy build path) alongside coddling reassurances from developers under his gun that "We can't be prejudiced about what we're seeing" while it's happening to the game.

The final sign? No matter how much it sucks, it's going to really never change very much again. We'll be waiting 3 months minimum to see champion/item changes, including the necessary buffs/nerfs. Then it will be five months of static play until anything changes, and changes for the worse. Then 9 months, then full years before they release any more new content.

Weep, players, if you don't know for whom the nerfs toll, they toll for thee.
