None of your champions are safe from being ruined by Riot

Jus sayin'.

If Riot can claim Veigars stun was never intended to do what it did for 5 years, then Riot can claim similar things about any single champion in the entire game, and proceed to drastically change anything they want.

How absurd would it be for Capcom to release a patch that removed Ryu's fireball? Well thats basically what Riot just did with Veigar.

This game has zero security of time investment at all. What is the point of wasting your time to master a champion that Riot can just "rework"? You wake up, and your champion may not even have the same abilities that you played so many games to master.

LOL I can see why you are mad.

Season 4 and 5, top two most played champs are Cass and Veig.

Well dude, find new champions. I mained kass, got changed, i play another champ. What's so bad about it?

its not riots fault they just nerf champions that are being played competitively by PROs, which is smart for balance. Blame the PROs they play these champions and abuse obscure mechanics which results in nerfs and "reworks".

You are correct, Gragas and and Fizz too have completely different gameplay patterns after their respective reworks, welcome to LoL.

I agree with you and disagree. I HATE when riot relaunches champions. It angers the old fan base in a hope for it to apeel to new fan base but the post you put is getting mad at buffs and nerfs which the game does need as ling as they can keep the core kit intact i dont see a prob in slightly changing abilitys (see slightly)

Next Riot will claim Ashe was "never meant to initiate" and reduce her arrow to 700 range.

Things are allowed to be broken if nobody plays them. Veigar Support was FotM in China.

If Veigar has an instant stun, than Swains Nevermove shouldn't have a delay, or Cho'gath's Rupture, or Zyras AoE that spawns the ranged plants. All AoE CC skills have an indicator on the ground before they take effect to allow counterplay.

Before the change, after 30 mins, Veigar could land an instant stun then 100-0 any squishy with no recourse. That is un-healthy for the game. Now, at least you have a chance to try to dodge the stun and maybe live. Maybe.

So you mean that I CAN'T get addicted to: Zyra, Yorick, Taric, Sejuani, Shyvana, Evelynn, Poppy, Quinn, Vel Koz, Zac, Nami, Malphite? Great :C

Well , they didn't rework veigar, that was a straight nerf... If they wanted to rework veigar, they would have reduced the delay of his W, not nerf the CD on his Q and not nerf the ratio of his ulti... Also, they would have tested the changes more... instead of rushing them to prevent Veigar from appearing in LCS

To be fair, Ryu's fireball should be removed. Have you seen street fighter tournaments? It's all Hadoken spam. I mean, here's a character who has dominated the game since it first came out and they haven't done anything to fix the Ryu problem or ranged creep in general.
