This is so accurate it hurts.
But they are fixing my queen!
All hail Syndra!
In every competitive game I've played, people have complained non stop about game balance. There is no company that hits the spot perfectly, and tbh, it's pretty much impossible with such diverse game. There are champions that perform better in different meta's, different skill levels, different comps, etc. You can't make every champion viable everywhere.
I think Riot is getting pretty good at balancing lately. Back in the days, they did crazy shit and then nerfed it to the ground. Other crazy shit just didn't get touched for years 
and then they do a small nerf. And another small nerf. And then to the ground! I like their way of pulling levers atm and thinking about what they want to change instead of jsut reducing power until its not suppressive anymore (which usually means: useless).
Sejuani for example. You can say that she's been OP for too long (over a month), and that's true. But Riot did balance her (and cinderhulk) pretty well. Cinderhulk is still great, not just so dominant that you laugh at junglers that don't build it. Sejuani is still good. She's not pick or ban anymore and doesn't fit every comp, but she does what she's supposed to do.
They're also trying really hard making forgotten champs played again. Last patches we saw more buffs than nerfs. That's really uncommon in League's history. I think Riot is glad enough with the balance of top tier champs that they can now afford spending more time on lower tier champs.
That said, I think sated devourer is a mistake. It makes the item more niche and WILL be abused by certain champions.
Note the truck that hits the carebear is a Dallas Stars truck.
Not sure if important. But I noticed.
that last look as you throw yourself into the re-balancing
i like changes.
so hurts. haha
the wait time for the update
Eh, I like the balance changes for most of the time.
At the same time, outside of looking pretty, skins do nothing for me because I never buy any.
I thought it was closer to this. http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/Eromir/TheGraph.jpg Different game, seems to be the same general concept though. X is broken omg how can they release like this. Very rarely does it turn out to be an unmitigated disaster.
Most balance changes are actually good.
The dying care bear is symbolic of underpowered mechanics and featured being shredded to be made anew.
anyone else see the changes to elise in the new patch notes?
now has a flat cc of 1.5 seconds.
based on OP.GG the build with the highest winrate maxed E first. and there it went.
they only had 2 skins this time, last time they did something like that was when this bad boy was announced after the patch came out: http://lolzinho.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/omega-squad-teemo-810x506.png ...then again, they are working on 2 champ reworks, a new champ and a 2nd aram map, so that might be why .__.
