Rioters Trying to Balance Azir, Yasuo, and Kalista

: Evening, Meddler. : Azir's Win Rate is down again. : Of course it is. : What have you done with him. : Me? I was right here. What have you done with him? Your, balance team. Assuming they actually wanted to balance the game, and not just nerf unpopular champions into the ground. Does it bother you, Meddler, to know just how unbalanced League really is. Does it make you feel responsible for Azir's current predicament? : How can we balance him? : What's the patch? : What difference does that make? : Well, depending on the patch, there could be one way to balance him, or several. : If we're gonna play games, I'm gonna need a cup of coffee. : Ah, the "good cop, bad cop" routine? : Not exactly.

: nerfs Frozen Mallet : Never start with the item, the champion will be in weird state and still need another- : nerfs Yasuo Ult : See? : You wanted me, here I am. : I wanted to see what you'd do CertainlyT. And you didn't disappoint. You made Rylais overpowered. Then you let Azir take the fall. Even to a guy like me that's cold. : You're the one whose overpowered. : Don't talk like you're one of those balanced champions, you're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a mistake, like me! Sure your balanced right now. But when you're not... they'll nerf you too. See, their balance, their meta: it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of high win rate. See, I'm not overpowered; I'm just ahead of the curve. : nerfs Yasuo Base AD How do we balance Azir? : You have all these rules, and you think they'll balance your game. : nerfs Yasuo Ult Cooldown I have one rule. : Ooh, then that's the rule you'll have to break to balance Azir. : Which is? : The only sensible way to balance this game is to ignore the rules. And tonight you're gonna break your one rule. : I'm considering it. : No, you're going to have to play my little game if you want to balance one of them. : "Them?" : You know, for a while there, I actually thought you wanted to balance Azir, the way you nerfed her into the ground... : nerfs Yasuo crit HOW DO WE BALANCE THEM? : Nerfing is making a choice... : nerfs Yasuo Q damage HOW DO WE BALANCE THEM? : You choose between one champion or the other. The Emperor of Shurima, or the Spear of Vengeance. : nerfs Yasuo E damage : You have nothing! Nothing to threaten me with, nothing with all your powers. : nerfs Yasuo shield : Don't worry. I'm going to tell you how to balance them. Both of 'em. And that's the point: you'll have to choose. Azir needs a lower W cooldown. And Kalista... needs a minor E rework.

: Which one are you going to balance? : KALISTA! : I'll get Azir!

This is definitely why Riot is giving Azir and Kalista buffs in the next patch. Definitely.
