Isn't it weird that riot nerfs a champion for a reason but lets another do the same?

Just seems weird that Riot was like "We are going to nerf kat's lv 2 cheese" But has a stronger lv 2 cheese. Then they say "you know, leblanc is a huge lane bully, let's tone her down", but i daresay and can bully many champions. As can . The point being i never understood why they made the excuse of "x champion is doing this so we should nerf them" When there are champions literally doing the same thing without punishment. I am NOT saying these champions didnt need nerfs, because despite how freelo they were, it just wasnt healthy

the Thing is because the precise action in their role differs them. sure, many champions can do the same, but they still have their unique differences in said actions. that is why certain nerfs only work on certain champions. Kat lvl 2 cheese damage Terms might be weaker than talons. but what has she that he doesnt? one, if not 2 free blinks in that window of time, point and click that doesnt get her into melee range to provoke dire punishment. but talon does. He has more damage, but he also has more risks to go with it, so much that his cheese is kept in check

Different champs do the same thing differently. Cass's early game is heavily gated by her mana. Renekton is meant to be an early game bully, that's why he falls off so heavily. Annie and Yasuo, I wouldn't describe as lane bullies, especially for those first few levels.

I think it's because Riot has an idea with how they want certain champs to be. When it goes outside of their vision, it gets put back in place.

Meh, all you have to do is bite the pillow when facing a Talon, wait 15 minutes, and forget that he even exists as he barely tickles your adc with no defense item lategame.

Balance is a moving target?

Also you can't compare champions kits in a vacuum. They have numerous differences that impact the way they function and how they scale or fall off over the course of the game.

syndras stun needs to be removed it has the fastest projectile speed in the game and its basically an undodgable sona ult on a short cooldown that goes all the way across the lane
