Honestly Riot's balance team feels like Batman at this point

They do some pretty messed up stuff. Lots of people don't like them, but they're necessary for Gothem (or in this case the game). Nobody thinks they're listening, however 5.5 shows us they are.

Vi is getting nerfed. Veigar is getting buffed (apparently he was intentionally over nerfed so his kit was bad to give him more damage. So basically make it so they have an excuse to buff him, but wait for another patch). Riot acknowledged Kass is underpowered and is under watch, so possible Kass buffs in the future. And finally Azir is getting buffed.

Additionally Riot is planning to introduce a quillcoat type thing to replace juggernaut. So tank junglers are back, and that's pretty OK .

Honestly I think I for one owe an apology to Riot's balance team. All along they were the balance team we deserved, just not the one we needed at the time. Based on these changes I feel it's safe to assume the balance team (or someone at Riot) was indeed paying attention to all of our threads, just not acknowledging that they were seeing them.
