Urgot gets rework released - Riot literally says "Meet Urgot, TOP LANER in his reveal to show they are enforcing him as a top laner.

Fizz becomes a tank - gets instantly gutted so he can ONLY be an AP Glass cannon.

Pyke gets released - Riot states that they intentionally made his early CD's high to avoid him from properly clearly the jungle

Taliyah's mini rework pushes her into the jungle - Riot nerfs her so now shes a niche pick at best.

Meanwhile Camiles been a jungler since her release, which her kit was NOT balanced around, and the only nerf she get's is 100 damage early on her dash, when thats not even the issue.

Good Favoritism Riot.

Camille was advertised as a top laner on release my dude.

Urgot got play top for the same reason Quinn did/does so Riot tooled him to function better top but he can still easily ADC, he's just better against non ranged opponents.

Tank Fizz and similarly Tank Yasuo got nerfed because they could build only defense and still duel very very very well. That build path got nerfed because it was unfun to deal with a mobile brick house with sharp forks glued to it.

Pyke has long CDs to stop him from being a solo laner. His kit really good and with his ult and perma hp recovery he'd be a good top laner and beyond beastly jg. He was made as a support and is being kept there.

Taliyah got nerfed for being a really good pick. That's meta shifts. Riven used to be the best Mid laner in game and now she's barely relevant outside her mains. Nothing new here.

Camille is a top laner and unless I missed a few patches, she's been picked primarily as a top laner since release. I don't really see an issue with her getting into another role unless the argument is "Why do some champs get forced out of builds/roles?" In which case the answer is that some champs are OP under certain conditions and need rebalancing.

Tl:dr Meta Shift, sleeper OP, power creep prevention.

Maybe Riot did not see the need to nerf Camille

there are so many other junglers that are better then her. the best two things she has working for her as a jungler is her engage from afar and her ult to lock down a single target.
