"Nope. It seems your guys' expectations on how much we'll warp some of these champions just because they're in "the 6" is quite large and drastic. Guess it's understandable given some of our track record. It's important to consider that our changes have ranged from as small as Darius and Miss Fortune to as large as Mordekaiser and Graves.

Our current plans for Vel'Koz might literally be the smallest scope changes we've ever done in a class update. In fact, I could understand how some people may not even really perceive it as a significant update and more of a "patch note.

** Either way, your downvotes are loud and clear. You don't really want Vel'Koz to change much. We don't really plan on moving Vel'Koz's core at all - just want to amplify what's already there.**"

This is what Statikk had to say on Vel'Koz from the Dev Thread!

Because people are worried that a rework on a perfectly stable champion like Vel will turn into a skarner/Mord/Kog outcome. Either incredibly overpowered then nerfed to shit and left to die (Skarner, Mord, Cass) or they come out underpowered and, left to die (Kog) for months at a time. If you don't see that then you need to back off these threads.

Yes, The champs are Riots'. But when they say "we will listen to your feedback" then don't listen and make a champion horrible, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. It is poor business and customer relations to say one thing and not do it in the slightest. So when Riot has constantly done this over the last season, people get worried. It is expected as trust has been lost that Riot will listen and talk to the communities.
