How do champions feel.

So, here I am on my first post on the boards. I am writing this one especially talking about ekko, but it applies to other champions aswell.

In the history of league of legends, we had many nerfs, many buffs, many changes, but some were more impactful than others, to the point that it made the champion i bought a compleatly different one. Let's take ekko as an example, i bought him one week right after he got out live (6300 < 7900) and the champion felt great, and pretty strong aswell, to the point that he needed some nerfs, his Q was not anymore rewarding to hit (dodging the return necessited a 90° dodge, even if the slow duration was not removed). He feels now more as a clunky assassin, barely able to one shot his ennemies with a normal combo, and his ultimate while it has huge damage makes him reliant on it to get an early kill.

In the same section, there is ahri, and oh god she is a tricky one : DFG + 20% damage amp on E was probably the best ahri era, right after the mana buffs on her q. She used to be the assassin that filled the role "Pick someone and punish him". Now she is meh to good in everything. There is also kayle : From the I-Q-auto-OneShotAnyone to the Super-As kayle, the difference was big gameplay wise, to the better at least, as kayle focused now on her main characteristic spell. But then came the E nerf, damage, and the base AS nerf, she had not a pillar for good damage, excpet if you went ad.

Tl;Dr: Nerfs sometimes become gameplay reworks. I miss good old days (one shot nidalee javelin/ gragas combo/ silence LB). Don't change the champions we love.
