Did riot not learn a single thing?
Riot learned the forums cannot be trusted with balance a long time ago.
Especially with Evlynn. Turns out nerffing a champion to shit will make them shit, and that doesn't improve the game one bit.
The boards were filled with complaints when she was picked often, i thought we agreed on nerfing her to shit and let her rot?
Nerffing champions to a useless state that the NA boards find remotely annoying to deal with is how we end up with only 10 champions that are competitive-worthy.
Is that what you want?
It's not like any top lanners aren't a pain in the dick to deal with either. They're all annoying in their own special way.
I'm also pretty sure most people would rather the 100+ champions in LoL (and there off-builds) were perfectly balanced rather than all the ones remotely capable of causing crybabies to get salty being unplayable.
A big part of LoL's appeal is the personal customization it allows, as well as the competitive nature with tryhard mode needing to be engaged at all times.
Nerffing a champion to garbage-tier is anathema to both of those tings.
