"Everyone told us these changes were a bad idea, we did them anyways because what's a bad idea?"

**Vladimir: ** Pretty much mauled into oblivion with impunity. (insert various Vlad threads by actual mains)

**Malzahar: ** Absolutely disgusting. "we decided bugs spawn too slow so we gave him an infinite number of them" "we decided pressing W + R was too hard so we combined them" "we decided malzahar's pool should stay even if his ult ends or he dies because lol why not" "yay, 90% damage reduction from all sources including towers for one entire second, and let's nullify CCs too because, yay" "full damage DOT refresh on Q/autos because woohoo" "he can solo Dragons which were specifically meant to not be solo'd" "he can solo Herald which was also specifically meant to not be solo'd" "he can solo Baron by the time it's out because… why not?" "oh cool, he murders just about every possible mid matchup with impunity… how nice." "and yay for making laning and actually doing damage against him near impossible because that's surely a good idea"

**Brand: ** Yay, Riot. "single target burst? that's so last century, let's make him melt teams instead" "yay for massive % health group explosions that trigger more explosions because… i dunno, sounded cool"

**Vel'Koz: ** Fun. "let's give a 3-stack passive that does true damage AP scaling" "let's make his ult do true damage instead, but only with SUPER DIFFICULT STEPS to do so, not like it's hard to get 3 stacks with multiple aoe spells" "in case that was too tough, we made any autos or abilities refresh the duration" "950+100% AP true damage is perfectly fine" "or just melting people by using it as magic damage anyways"

**Anivia: ** rip old bird "Shoot the bird. Because design. Why? I dunno"

**Annie: ** Because logic. "yay for illogical bonuses" "when annie dies the bear magically gets bonus health because that somehow makes sense" "ooh, revenge concept" (actually decent) "let's make him GAIN 275% AS and 100% MS because that should be good numbers, right?"

**Fiddlesticks: ** why? "random passive because lol idk" "nerfs because 2 op guys"

**Kennen: ** yayyyy... "let's just 'fix' stuff which was doing fine because idk"

**Viktor: ** how do design? "what's a viktor" "let's tear apart everything" "oh right what was his identity?"

**Ziggs: ** cause wat "let's buff him" "good idea, what do?" "make him execute towers" "remove good waveclear" "oh, great ideas!"

**AP Items: ** because idk "TIME TO HAVE A HAYDAY GUYS, GET DRUNK AND DO WHATEVER"

**New Dragons: ** yay for random. "let's make unique buffs" "what about team comps vs random factor leading to imbalance and some being extremely helpful for only one team, and some just being useless?" "shhhh" "shhhhhhhhhh" "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

**Jungle timers: ** Just… why. "we decided map control/vision/warding was too tough so we did that for you!"

**Boots: ** literally wat. "hmm, maybe, everyone buying Alacrity is a problem" "oh no what do we do" "remove every single enchantment" "perfect!"

**Illaoi: ** Yay for nerfs on a weak champ. "Let's reduce her E duration by 80%, make tentacles spawn faster, but still be easy as ever to dodge them" "Let's pretend tentacles not spawning when they tried to recall wasn't a bug so we can use it to justify these changes"

**Kindred: ** Wrong place, wrong way. "Hey, Kindred is OP" (valid point) "What's the problem?" "Early game too strong" (valid point) "What do we do?" "Murder her early game" ( facepalm ) "… Doesn't she need a decent early for Hunts so she's actually relevant past early?" "Shhhhhhh, we'll add a bunch of meaningless buffs that are entirely pointless" "Oh okay."

Devourer: Out of the frying pan, into the fire. "Let's remove Devourer" "Cool, what do we replace it with?" "How about 3% max health physical damage as on-hit?" "Great idea!" "What about ADCs taking Smite to abuse this?" "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

QSS/Mercurial: Dare we not challenge Zed/Fizz/Trundle/Fiora/etc. "Hey, people are complaining about some ults?" "What do we do?" "Let's make QSS/MS unable to remove them now" "Oh cool.… wait wha-" "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
