Nerfs going a bit too far

I have to wonder if you(Riot) actually play this game anymore. A lot of the nerfs made lately make no sense to me, and nerfs made because of pro-play are absolutely stupid. Sorry that you're tired of seeing Ryze and Aatrox, maybe buff some other champs so they're more viable instead of making these ones useless for any level of play. And like Kayle, whose been my favorite champ for years, you reworked her and almost immediately nerfed her into being unplayable. I realize no Rioter will probably read this, but your nerfs are going a bit too far and are ruining a lot of people's experience with the game. Your response to imbalance shouldn't be to nuke the problem, thats knee-jerk and short sighted. Small adjustments and buffing lane competition seems a far better solution.

Also, please buff Kayle's early game so she can actually stand a chance in lane. Or better yet, since her rework is so broken that you had to make her useless just revert her kit. I'd take pre-rework Kayle over the frustrating mess you've made her into.

How? She's too squishy for top lane, pretty much any of the most played top-laners can bully her and because she doesn't become ranged until much later in the game most mid laners can bully her too. All it takes is a bit of camping from the enemy jungle and she's rendered pretty much useless until it's way too late in the game to make a difference. Some of that late game power needs to be shifted into her early game so she isn't as easily bullied out. Increase her base HP and lower hp growth to even out with the change, maybe even adjust her overall stat growth to allow her to ramp up faster to actually reach her intended power spike before the game is over.

Because of how good her end game is, she has above average win rates across the board.
