Hello, this is a message for the balance team at Riot. Ill try to keep it short enough to avoid a TLDR.

You keep nerfing champions in my pool. Which is to be expected, that is what I get for picking very strong champs to learn. Fine.

But its frustrating having to totally relearn my damage potential and relearn when I can win trades or secure a kill all over again just because youve decided to play with the ratios. It sucks when you have a sure kill, and you do your combo and then they just walk away with a sliver of health and you sit there for a second confused before you go "right....they nerfed body slam. damn."

So instead of complaining (okay, I complained a lot too lets be honest) I decided to try and outsmart you.

I went to lolking, and looked up the "lowest winrate" and "least played" and saw Zilean was on both lists. So I picked him up and Ive been playing him a lot. I thought this was the safest way to find a champ who you would not alter and force me to relearn. And hes actually really fun.

But with some of the recent changes to champs on the PBE youre showing a willingness to nerf champs who are not even strong right now. Which makes me worry about Zilean.

I tend to play games for a few months or a few years, and then I move on. Someday ill move on from league. I dont know when. These things just happen. But if you nerf Zilean, I am sure it will happen much quicker.

Ive seen @morello on the forums recently, so I thought I would share my opinion. Hopefully someone at Riot sees it.

Thanks for your time.

TLDR - Balance team keeps nerfing my champs. So I picked up a bad champ (Zilean) who I am now enjoying playing. When they eventually nerf Zilean I will likely take it as my cue to move on to a more established game, one not in a constant state of flux.

Riot will nerf low winrate champs just because the pros play them. ie elise.

Find a champ who has a low playrate. Some of the lowest playrate champions have very high winrates, and Riot wont touch them because they aren't popular.

yea I thought zilean was a safe pick to not get changed, but maybe I should pick up Galio as well.

in any case, I wonder if anyone from riot has seen this or not
