Riot is handling their PBE changes poorly IMO

They change basically EVERYTHING and then 1-2 champions become OP for varying reasons. Instead of trying to come up with creative solutions for these champs, who have been balanced for years, Riots instant solution is to just nerf them, never mind what it will do to these champs if they aren't being played in the positions that makes them currently OP.

Case in point: and .

Warwick is currently running amok on SR and has acquired a 90% ban rate and a 60% win rate. OP? I mean, he hasn't been touched in years, not since his S2 mana and damage nerfs to his Q. But Riots preseason changes created conditions that allowed warwick to thrive. Why? Tougher jungler, cheap sources of on-hit damage that are relevant throughout the game and the ability to SMITE champs. The creation of skirmishers, devourers, and making the jungle tougher so that his sustain actually matters and that most junglers have to choose between trying to clear and ganking at decent health. So what could stop from dominating the way that he currently is without turning him into or ?

IDK, but I would have tried changing Skirmishers on-hit damage so that it could only be triggered once every 0.75 seconds. That way, it keeps its identity to on-hits while only being applied on his ult 2 times. You could have lowered the on-hit damage on devourers but doubled it vs jungle creeps. And you could have buffed other junglers such as Naut, Sej, Eve and others who can barely even survive in the new jungle so that it isn't a complete WW fest. Buff alternatives to skirmishers and rangers. Delete Poachers because it is the worst item ever and it GIVES AWAY WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO YOUR ENEMY SO THEY CAN WARD AND KILL YOU.

But, Riot, in true fashion, is planning to gut warwick in the coming patch.

Ult damage lowered at all levels to insignificant levels. W AS buff duration lowered by 40% at all ranks. Butchering the active on skirmishers so that the only real purpose is the 6 seconds of 20% less damage.

Or . So, people exploit the fact that he can solo drag at level 2. Instead of changing dragon, which is the real problem here, since other champs can do what panth does, he just does it safer and easier than them, they go and nerf panths attack speed. Now he just has to take AS marks and wait till 3 and he'll still be able to do it.

Why not just turn dragon's basic attack into a spell with similar speeds, except now it hits in a sort of annie W cone in front of him. Suddenly, regardless of attack speed or attack blocks, champs like and can no longer solo drag at such early levels.

IDK Riot, I understand that its preseason, but I've been here for 4 of them and for once I'd like to go through one where your first thought isn't to butcher the champs that are creating problems in your new updated game, but rather come up with creative solutions that fix the problem without hurting the champ. Buffs make everyone happy, fixes hurt no one, but nerfs just tend to piss people off. Even if you do think that you know best.
