5 stages of mini-rework

Denial You can't believe it. Your main is finally getting changes that they deserve! Riot never forgot about us. You're excited to check out the new kit.

Anger The changes made your champion too different. You can't play them like you used to anymore. It's not a rework--it's a nerf. You make posts after posts about how terrible the rework is.

Bargaining What if I try different build order? Different position? Runes and masteries? Maybe they're now a niche pick?

Depression There's a new optimal way to play your old main, but it's not the same as before.

Acceptance The meta has spoken. There's nothing you can do about it anymore. Maybe you can try to play them like you used to, but you just end up feeding. There's no point in protesting anymore. You just accept that mini rework happened.
