most likely due to backlash from professional players and the community, but the almighty shitstorm that was known as the cassiopeia, veigar, and soraka reworks WEREN'T REVERTED
looks like 
has some company for whom riot deems untouchable thanks to negative feedback from the community. everyone else ahem
can do die in a fire
You mean, it's almost like Riot learned from their mistake of nerfing a champion that was overbearing with an item while also nerfing said item at the same time?
I don't think this was a backlash thing and revert, I think this was something that was accidentally pushed to the PBE. Did you read the comments that came with it?
it was a nerf not a rework they reverted it cause they shipped into pbe unintentionally like the old shyvana changes and alistar w pretty sure they are not gonna nerf him because now it doesn't turn attacks anymore into magic damage and applies the aoe only on monster
