Riot, where are all the PROPER nerfs?

All I see from lol PBE are nerfs here and there to a few random champions that may or may not have seen play in competitive scene, such as Sona, Jayce, Corki, etc. People have not been complaining about them, but they have been nerfed on PBE anyways because... why not?

...Meanwhile toxic, truly problematic champions like Fizz, Zed, Katarina, Irelia, Riven, Lebroken, Syndra, Akali, etc. still exist the way they are, and have not received even a single MARK of change on PBE. Riot, is this your idea of "balance"?

Best way to counter Fizz: Ban him. All the others on that list have hard counters and have been beaten or not picked in higher levels of play.

Zed has two counterplays that he has no counterplay to---Zhonya and QSS. Katarina just got analed by that early ult CD nerf, Riven requires pretty high skillcap, and Akali dies to item 2043

Kararina=nerfed Riven=nerfed and can easily be dealt with as long as you know what you're doing Leblanc=nerfed, no silence, just follow her roams Irelia=strong late game, weak lvls 1-5, honestly don't know what everyone's complaining about here.... SYndra=not "OP" anymore, people forgot about her Other 3-4 I agree with

Riot's idea of balance:

Lucian LeeSin Zed Thresh

They don't care about top lane. Nerf Irelia.

I find it slightly entertaining that most of the champions you listed are Assassins or Assassin-like.

Estrogen RiderDec 16, 20142 votes

Me too. Did it ever come across your head that there is a reason why they are assassins or assassin-like?

Well for a start, it seems like you plainly don't know how to deal with them.

Sarcasm aside, I can't seem to locate your match history. Mind mentioning what sort of champions you are playing? Players can point you in the right direction in terms of how to deal with these champions if we could see what you are playing.

ex. AD Carries fear Assassins at all times, regardless of almost everything. Playing against Assassins as an ADC requires a combination of relying on a powerful frontline to keep enemies at range, and a good support/peeler if the Assassin in question sneaks past the front lines. This is almost impossible to coordinate in Casual games, and a relative challenge in ranked Solo Queue however, so most ADC players who don't play with teammates who can prioritize defending the ADC tend to see Assassins as op.

By looking at Lolking assassins are banned more than 10% of all the time. They range from 11.64% (Lebroken) to 55.41% (Zed). So obviously it's not just an issue "about me". Are you trying to say that more than 90% of all LoL players are braindead morons?

Speaking of which, it's funny and amusing how you make assumptions about the way I play despite not knowing me or not being able to find my match history. You must think a lot about me and I'm sincerely creeped out by that.

Corki is about as good as Lucian, just not as played. He deserved nerfs when Lucian got nerfed.
Just because you complain about something doesn't mean it's OP, and vice versa. People complain about Lee Sin and Yasuo but they have really low win rates and are far from OP or even balanced in that matter.
Fuck Fizz, Riven, Syndra, and Akali. Leblanc isn't OP, Irelia isn't OP, Katarina isn't OP, Zed is borderline.
