Riot likes to take things that aren't a problem and make them a problem.

The entire reason you nerfed darius ult was because you were tired of having top laners kill with their ult and come back and have it up again.

Yeah you only did that to riven and darius, and riven still has her ult coming to lane.

You buffed exhaust, so not just autoattackers are fucked, EVERYONE is fucked.

I don't remember cass being a problem, she wasn't UP or OP, but you MADE her a problem by breaking her. Congratulations, she is now unfun to play as AND against.

Assassin's weren't a problem, then you had to break them and give them no counterplay.

ADC's weren't a problem, then you had to break them and give them no counterplay.

Tank's were a problem, but you overnerfed them. Extremely.

Anything else I missed that they took from not being a problem and made them a problem?

Good buff. Even now, most good supports take ignite to lane. Exhaust is situationally good now.

Cass was intentionally left in a weak state because she was too oppressive in lane when balanced.

Assassin's weren't a problem, then you had to break them and give them no counterplay. ADC's weren't a problem, then you had to break them and give them no counterplay.

These two can't coexist. Assassins exist to kill ADCs. You can't have zero counterplay for ADCs if assassins are broken and have zero counterplay.

When and when?

Season 2-3.

ADC's were in a good spot and the only OP assassin was Kassadin.

Leblanc was underplayed because her counters were stronger and there were better alternatives

Wasn't season 3 the end of the meta golem? After that I believe much of season 4 was the assassin meta with tanks having taken some hard hits. Then Riot made the itemization changes which really buffed ADC mid games and led to them being slightly stronger than before in all stages. At the same time, many assassins were nerfed, and a few tanks and bruisers had minor buffs, all the while Riot seemed more concerned with buffing and nerfing various supports, mages and marksmen for some reason.
