Riot's Reasoning Of Patch 6.17

Hey guys! Recently i managed to hack into Riot, and find secret notes by which the Patchers manage to convince other Rioters into allow all the patching! Let's see what they got.

Annie isn't the type of champion to make big LCS plays. The only cool thing she can do is flash Tibbers stun, and it doesn't look cool. In order for us to prevent pros from picking her up, we've decided to nerf that bear, so they can focus on picking more LCS big plays champions. Unlike most ADCs, Ashe doesn't have much mobility and juking potential like Ezreal, Lucian, and Kalista. We decided to please the braying crowd of Bronze and Silver scrubs by giving her random nerfs, which affected the wrong parts of her kit, so they'll think she's weak, while she is still the same. Corki is like a Vietnamese War Veteran- People honor him for his power in the competitive scene, yet no one wants to get involved with him. So, we decided to do a tiny buff, which I don't think many people have even noticed. He is one of our 3 original LCS champs, after all. We made this champ for heresy and memes. We'll give her a random buff so that Heretic Lunari won't start a war against us. We decided to buff Draven because one shotting people wasn't cool enough. We'll give him buffs which encourage KS while making it look like sweet plays. Players forget that she is an assassin, meant for killing important targets quickly, and escape before the teammates can blink, so we buffed her teamfight potential. When talking about Worlds, we realized Ezreal, who was once the best ADC, actually sucks. So, we decided we should give him a buff that looks small, but puts him on steroids, so no one will realize he's good. Plus, we need to increase sales for Arcade. Why did we make him again? We can't answer that, so we gave him big buffs, cause people have started winning a lot with him. No, pure skill and mastering the champion isn't an excuse. Honestly, Gragas is a fatass. That is all. Since our lore team gets payed for no reason, we decided that if we're gonna nerf Viktor, we might as well buff Jayce. Because Lore. He was too perfect. He was well balanced, required skill, was fun to use, and was strong when used correctly. This is LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. You can't have a champion who's really well designed and doing well roam around. So we nerfed his ass. So... we know that Jinx already has one of the highest winrates.... but imagine all the LCS BIG PLAYS that can happen with that ult! I don't even understand the buff myself. Still, put it in the game. We believe in eyesight equality, so when your on Skaarl, in colorblind mode, you get a new colour. He's rock hard with these buffs, to make BIG LCS PLAYS. We don't understand the point of this buff, but oh well. Imagine Faker using Orianna, and suddenly flash ulting the entire enemy team! IMAGINE THE MONEY! We miss the old Poppy. Just saying. Rek'sai is one of our most successful releases. Beautifully designed. Well balanced. Fits her theme. Fun. But she's anti BIG LCS PLAYS, so we had to nerf her. Riven is one of our most important champs. She is a great toxic plant, making Uranium, which we use to make other stuff. But recently, she isn't making as much as she used to, cause friendly people are playing her. So we buffed her, so she could call back all the old toxic Riven mains, so we can go back to making Uranium. We don't want to look like idiots. Ryze isn't cancerous enough. We better buff random stuff, to see if he becomes the champion we once imagined- Cancer giving ebola. No big LCS plays. Nerf. We better make his ult be more useful. Seriously, it barely does anything!

Too lazy to finish the last four.
