Meddler: Zed: We've pulled the ult nerf from patch 6.11 after a lot of debate on the team as to how hard the Q changes will or won't hit Zed. Still sitting on it as an option for a later patch, we want to assess what impact those other changes have first though.

Just a note, not saying champs in first group didn't need nerfs or champs in second group do need them. Just find it funny how "slow, easy going, or cautious" they can be on certain champs vs dumping others in the trash at times.

Yea the "Rito favorites" tend to get buffs with their "nerfs".

I still love that "Sejuani has had her time in the spotlight" quote from a Rioter. One patch, she was good. A lot of the champions in your second list have been king of their lanes from several patches before Riot decides to lovetap them.

Even look at new Swain and how decisively Riot's moving on his nerfs (which is great, I just wish they'd do the same for the Zed group too).

Said it before and I'll say it again: Riot undercosts mobility in kits, yet they always seem so afraid to actually nerf these mobile champs. It's not an "outplay" if I don't have the tools to punish you when you screw up. Mobile champs should be more dependent on (actual) outplay to succeed than they currently are, and the choice of mobility should come at the expense of raw power (or durability, utility, etc).

Picking the mobile champ should be a bet that you can outplay the other guy enough to cover your statistical weakness, but right now it's just guaranteed returns.

Maybe theyre just trying to see if they can get a champion to 100% ban rate?

You know that overall all "solo-queue" champions got more nerfed than sej or sion You have to remeber how hard sej or sion were pushed Sion had like half a year almost every patch almost only buffs like increasing his q dmg base and scaling or reducing its mana cost only his e got nerfed because it was way too strong poke for a tank Sejuani got also almost only buffed since her rework look at zed for example his last buff was on his ult before that only nerfs btw do you remember that he got a little rework after his release?why?Because he was one of the worst champions in league only syndra was the worst yet with like 26% win rate
