why the fuck are kog/twitch getting buffed 1 patch after they FINALLY got nerfs when the main thing these champs do is attract cancer wishers and their scummy friend janna/lulu just to get boosted? why not buff another ADC? why does it have to be twitch/kog? if anything these champs deserve to get gutted. not only are these disgusting champs mainly used by boosters/scripters/cancer wishers that want to feel superior online, but it makes melee champs unplayable.

going vs a 5 man premade was honestly more enjoyable.

We reverted half of the nerfs to Kog since we'd overshot how much we'd intended to bring him down on 8.3. He ended up taking a hit to the tune of around 6% which was harder than we'd intended. The only change we'd made was the damage on w, and was a change made in isolation that we then knew for sure how much it did. Backing out half of the changes was us acknowledging that we'd overshot and were correcting it.

For Twitch it's a bit less clear cut, but our PTA buffs weren't large enough to warrant the magnitude of the nerf we gave him. We're still talking about whether or not we need to go back a bit on our nerfs from 8.4, but it's much in the same spirit as with Kog.

Generally we're going to try to be better about immediately correcting changes that went too far (in either direction), since we have a much clearer picture of the magnitude of their impact.

So you're biased? Ok, now what's a real reason to nerf these champions besides you not liking them?

KogMaw was gutted and was badly in need of his revert. He ended up becoming of the worst ADCs in the game.

Twitch 's early game got gutted.

ADC hyper carries aren't allowed to even retain meager nerfs obviously. Meanwhile ryze getting nerfed because he dare stray past his relegated 46 percent winrate.

gutting a champion is never the answer, I remember when kindred got gutted, it sucked. I'd like them to get nerfed, but no champ should get gutted.
