Shen, Akali, Kennen, and Zed are no longer Flippin' Ninjas, just regular boring ninjas. The hell is with that? How am I supposed to win with them now? Gangplank is also a lame normal pirate instead of a Mighty Pirate, and Ms. Fortune isn't a Pirate Hunter anymore; and she didn't even have anything to fall back on!
Useless now, the lot of 'em.
Rito, plz.
, 
, 
, and 
need their flipping powers back.
Pretty obvious that some of the people here have never read a tooltip.
Wow, i'm suprised that so many ppl here didin't get this.

Painful how many people dont even bother to read the OP
This is another example of a direction riot is going that i dont appreciate. They are removing, little by little, all these cool things that show how fun the team was. It seems like they are just starting to take themselves too seriously, and it is starting to hamper the fun a bit.
Was the true ninja all along, she was so ninja even the other ninja's didn't know. And now she has stolen their tooltips and is the only ninja left in the game. What will we all do? I'm scared.
I have a feeling that this might have done to reduce extraneous buffs out of the buff bar. The ninja's flipping ninja buffs and GP's and MF's respective pirate/pirate hunter buffs don't actually add anything to their core gameplay, and were just cool to have.
That said, I probably will miss the ninja buff on Kennen when I play him.
Oooooo, stealth-nerfed, not stealth champions (Eve, Kha, Rengo, Satan, etc) had their stealths nerfed.
I was confused :P
In this thread: Reading comprehension
WHAT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIOT? I could handle you nerfing my favorite champions. I could handle the blantant favoritism towards Lee Sin. I could handle you screwing up Janna's smexy splash art. But getting rid of the flippin ninjas and the mighty pirates? You fiends. I hope EA buys you.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
WHAT?! I didn't even notice! How can I play Gangplank if he isn't a Mighty Pirate?!
Kennen main here. Bring back my flippin' powers! Being a doctor is not enough.
"This unit is a flippin' ninja!"
What?? We don't have flippin' ninjas or Arr, Mighty Pirates anymore? D: Why RITO? WHHYYYYY??
Oh, he was talking about those hidden passives. So does this mean that every one of these hidden passives like Plants vs. Zombies, Zyra and Sion, will be taken out?
I find this title misleading, because I can't tell if you are talking about lore change or nerfs to champs. If that is the case GP and MF have gotten buffs rather than nerfs, akali deserves some nerfs (besides I use these things called pink wards). Also, we don't need anymore stealth champions, because that mechanic is just too damn good on junglers, especially when it comes to pub stomping. We already have: Rengar, Kha'zix, Akali, Shaco, Evelyn, Teemo, Vayne, and Wukong. Every one of these forces the player to spend 100 gold just to not get a surprise all in.
Honestly I main all of the ninjas (except kennen don't like him, never will)and haven't noticed this. pretty sure riot wants to remove the nerf they got when you wanted to have a team of 4 ninjas
It's actually a buff because they will no longer lose 1 HP for having another one of those champs on the same team. :P
wow this is proof that 90% of the earths population are dumb noodles.
First the loss of Arnold Sion voice, now the loss of ninjas and pirates?
Is Riot trying to suck all the fun out of this game?
Can you please tell me what this is in reference to? I'm greatly interested to read about what inspired this post. Thanks in advance.
The passives were poor anyways. It would be more fun if Flippin' ninja made ninjas lose 10% base hp if other ninjas are on the team, and do +10% damage to other ninjas.
What if more champs had hidden passives, or what if passives from facing a rival did more?
For instance VI: Vi's fustration makes her doubt her judgement, Vi loses 30 ms when running in the direction Jinx is in.
This unit is no longer flippin'
I noticed this issue right away when i had some ninjas in my game
How am I supposed to play 
pirate lane now?
I won't be mighty enough to tank for MF... :(
Wait, they finally removed the -1 HP per extra team ninja?
Finally. That cost me so many deaths.
I wonder, is the part that if you play shen/kennen/akali in the same team they get -1 hp for each of them present (max -2)
Talon is still strong akali is still strong and zed is still strong I don't see your point I can play talon extremely well and zed is even better Akali still has her burst in fact the change to her shroud gave her a good disengage and allow her to stick to her targets even better
