are some champions just not allowed to be strong?

People figured out how to play him after his nerfs, riot breaks his knees got over 20 nerfs in THE SAME PATCH Got gutted after 4.20 weedwick happened, along with the item that made him strong in the first place Cant have a cigar Got GUTTED after a spike in popularity. Was this due to a balance change? No. They just made him look pretty, so people played him and then he became shit. Just became a good pick after months of being shit tier, and is getting his shit nerfed

Yep basically. If you aren't part of the approved champion list then you'll be promptly gutted.

See Evelyn changes entirely to see how she used to be then her patch changes. Believe Twitch's visual update also came with a change since I remember his passive doing more damage previously.

Riot nerfs whatever becomes overcentralizing in the meta.

Except jinx and vayne and thresh and Lee and zed(he got nerfef after tanks became a thing so shitty timing)

That's nice logic, if not for the fact that Riot repeatedly nerfed Sona throughout the entire 2nd half of season 4, despite having amongst the lowest pick rates in the entire game the whole season long.

You mean that champion who had insane bases and required as much skill as mashing buttons every once in a while?

as much as i sympathize with Sona players, because she was nerfed soo hard, i was tired of getting insta-killed by Sona spamming Q with Sheen :\

Patch 4.21 Infinite Duress Damage reduced to 150/250/300 (+200% bonus AD) from 250/325/420 (+200% bonus AD) Hunters Call Duration reduced to 6 seconds from 10 seconds

Simultaniously, Devourer Base onhit reduced to 25 from 40

Skirmishers Sabre Changed to 60-162 true damage over 3 seconds from 17-51 (at 6, 29 damage onhit) true damage per hit, duration refreshing on subsequent hits.

Simultanious nerfs to a champions most important spells and items will do that.

Sated devourer is a thing now, so of course his winrate is good NOW, but that has no bearing on the fact that Warwick got destroyed on patch 4.21

Warwick is just terrible champion design, needs a rework
