What happened to the nerf patches everyone wanted?

I look on the PBE and see this

  • Buff
  • Neutral?
  • Buff
  • Buff

Then they list the stuff they're going to buff and nerf soon and there are 8 buffs planned and 6 nerfs planned.

And this is just today, I don't feel like looking at everything on the PBE but I know there are a lot of buffs going around.

Rito pls

sometime buffing under powered champs shift metas and allows them to neutralize strong/over powered champs

endlessly buffing underpowered champs... wonder what could go wrong

MrFawknSunshine1 votes

well if you endless nerf strong champs then they become underpowered and those underpowered champs that werent touch still get stronger.

it is impossible to balance this game

where are these endless nerfs?

constant buffs is what got us into this mess

things constantly change ,

champs come and go out of the meta ,

nerfs do happen.

lets say we nerf everything possible in the game by 20%

we are still where we are before we did

Yeah but making the game more and more and more broken isn't gonna fix anything in the long-run.

"More and more broken" sorry but buffing champions that are struggling isn't making anything "more broken"

Well, let's say you have a big patch where you buff supports, which indirectly buffs ADC's. This makes assassins useless so Riot will buff assassins. When the assassins are strong, Riot will buff the ADC's and some other champs from other classes to counter that. When they do that enough to where assassins are underpowered again, they'll buff assassins and it's a whole cycle of a ton of buffs with not nearly as many nerfs.

Yeah but buffing supps more would be adding insult to injury if what you want is to help adcs.
