Why the community hates this meta while loving changes patches 2009-4.10

Its simple. **The changes were adding to the game rather than replacing the game. **

When nidalee was reworked because she was a spear bot everybody loved it. While landing spears was still good no longer was landing spears was the only thing you had to do. There is not a single point of the kit that was removed and she simply had her kit mended.

For some reason everybody loved the sion rework but im going to use him as an example of a bad rework since he was the earliest example of the type of rework (karma kept some of her kit). Name 2 parts of his old kit he kept. Thats right you probably cant even remember his old kit because theres literally 1 thing that the new kit kept. His w sheild (that didnt even keep the point of the old sheild) and the E passive on the sheild. His ult gave him 100% lifesteal his e gave him massive amounts of ad his q was a stun and his passive reduced autoattack damage. This was not an addition this was a replacement.

Now comes around aatrox. Nobody played him until he became useful enough that people were allowed. Basically people wanted to but couldnt. Because of being meta it brought around the meta humpers as well meaning 3 differnt groups were playing it: the meta humpers, the aatrox mains, and the deep pooled toplaners. So in other words its the exact same thing as sion rework but unlike sion rework you had an actual player base to anger.

Now lets say you want to play the good old game you remember. Too bad! You cant. Unlike a normal game that you buy for 5-60$ you cant simply go back to it 6 years later and play it again. So when riot changed their mindset from trying to keep the elements of the game relatively the same in lue of sion reworks across the board its easy to see why players got pissed.

But let me remind you. You guys were the one that liked the sion rework. You guys were the ones that supported the client change. You guys wanted runes to be free. There is not a single thing in the game that you guys didnt ask for. You guys let riot attack minority playerbases until you realized the minorities have left and you became the minority.
