Why The Bot Lane Dynamics Didn't Need To Change
So, in Riots latest "ask riot" they mentioned that they were happy to see the diversity in bot lane since that meta has been "solved for years".. And then they mention that laning against a heimerdinger and fiddle is significantly different than laning against traditional marksmen.. Which is true.. Except for the fact that you looked right past one component of that... Laning against a Tahm Kench + Jhin is different than laning against a Morgana + Jhin.. Bot lane already has more combinations of matchups to factor in than ANY OTHER LANE.. And we felt we needed diversity there? I don't get that.. All you did was make this extremely complex game EVEN MORE complex.. but only for 1 role.. How is that good for the game? How is that viable? The only way you make all these changes work is by putting Role specific buffs/debuffs on champions, and then give people the ability to "Swap Roles" in champ select..
That being said, I am not posting this out of disgust as I have found success in this patch.. It just doesnt seem like the right thing to do if you are wanting to grow the game.. I am tired of Riot contradicting themselves (Like with leathality... "The amount of armor pen will scale off the enemy level in order to make it not so overwhelming and to give the other team still SOME chance of coming back.." haha J/K we are basically reverting it back to armor pen snowballing because we want to force miss fortune players to play Crit Miss Fortune.
Direct Patch 7.14
If you want diversity? Then why would you take away diversity? You litterally want this champion to go back to crit.. This is just 1 example of all the numerous times riot contradicts themselves

Im not saying that her Q didn't need to be nerfed.. But the "logic behind it" doesn't make sense when they make changes down the line..
People that used to play adc and now coming back to the game are INSTANTLY turned off by it.. It's just another example of how.. Riot doesn't understand their own changes, and go against what they say they are wanting..
