It's their fault for taking the kotaku article seriously and doing something stupid in response.

Don't worry it's fine. It's like those players that complaing about VU's because they really loved and cared for the champion but now are greeted with something that's nothing but a replacement and removal of the olc champion. It'll simply get ignored and called a "success" Rito style.
Remember: "Guys ever since we removed that ingame chat room system our data showed that noone is using it anymore!" "Guys ever since we excluded all men our game finally has an influx of women because they're the only ones left according to our data!"
Riot has never been good at balancing anything.

There is no such thing as SJW policies or 'political correctness' - it used to just be called "not being an asshole". Try it sometime, its not that difficult.
