Anyone Else Remember Weird Balance Changes?

Hope this is gameplay related enough.

There are some really silly moments in League's Balance History. For example, that one time Riven got a straight buff and her Winrate fell a little. Or another, Twitch received a purely visual rework (i'd argue that his E got nerfed ever so slightly), and both his play and win rate shot up. Anyone else remember similar changes to the game that caused really silly balance changes?

A long time ago, Vlad received a nerf. IIRC, the nerf was the movement speed from his W now decayed as stated in the V1.0.0.143 notes. However, the nerf actually happened in the previous patch and went undocumented. Vlad's win rate didn't change at all when the nerf was actually done but dropped after the nerf was stated.

There have been a couple instances of this, but Vlad's is the only one I remember.
