So if Azir was nerfed because he was oppressive

When can we expect Annie, Vayne, Nidalee, and Riven nerfs, with Ryze's perma snare removal? Vayne's not the weak trembling little adc in the lane phase anymore, there are multiple posts on the boards that go over that. Riven still for whatever reason has a low cooldown on her Q and/or E (which for some reason also still scales with AD). Annie still has no counterplay to FlashTibbers. Nidalee's execute is still executing people who have 50%+ hp, and for god only knows why STILL HAS A HEAL. As for Ryze..... whatever the hell you were smoking when you decided to nerf everything but his snare this patch must've been some very, very, very good stuff.

I'm not going to lie, this is mostly motivated out of salt, because i just HATE DEALING WITH ALL OF THESE CHAMPIONS, and I have seen multiple posts for them all, that have ALL GONE UNANSWERED BY RIOT. And that is probably what pisses me off the most. I'm literally at the point where I'm not sure if Riot even cares about the non-LCS players at all. "You don't get paid money for playing this game, deal with it". I'd much rather give them the benefit of the doubt, but for the love of god what is so wrong with simply saying: "we haven't considered touching those champions yet". Don't nerf them, fine whatever, I'll still get really POd and wonder what the hell you are thinking but at least I won't be sitting here praying for every PBE update, every set of patch notes, that one day, at least ONE OF THESE, might get brought back down to earth.

AMEN. Annie is stupid oppressive in lane with high roaming ability, great cc, and obviously high kill pressure. If you're going to nerf Azir's knockup please also gut Riven's stun, or her bloody knockup. Why does Riven get two forms of hard cc as a hyper carry but Azir can't because "poke mages are supposed to just bend over" - Riot 2015. And Vayne can singlehandedly carry the worst teams by just stomping her lane. Sounds balanced. Nidalee is just stupid, and Ryze's perma-root is insulting to my intelligence. But better nerf the champion with the finally appropriate overall win rate because LCS players are abusing him. And not just like, a little nerf like they gave to Katarina a few months ago, changing her passive, but a second substantial, kit-gutting nerf that completely throws the entire champion out of sync with himself. I swear Rito's balance changes to Azir since release tremendously expose Rito's inability to comprehend their own champion. This is the second nerf in a row that has been designed with seemingly complete ignorance of how Azir actually works and does what he's supposed to do. BETTER BUFF FIORA THO.

Azir nerfed? Did you read the changes?

All they took out was his knock-up. And the only champion I have a problem with of the ones listed is RIven. After trying out the champion myself, even while stomping face, I have to admit the champion is pretty bullshit.
