What if Riot is pulling a "New Coke"?

If you don't know, a while back Coca Cola brought out "New Coke", which would basically replace regular Coke. If you ever experienced it, it was gross and god awful. As soon as Coke realized they made a mistake, they brought back regular Coca Cola and got rid of the crappy new Coke.

Conspiracies claim that Coca Cola did this on purpose, in order to get a better public image. Basic formula being: give the people something they didn't want and certainly don't like, only to give back to the people, regaining the respect and goodwill of the general market.

What if Riot did the same thing? Think about it. 5.4 was a patch that no one asked for, and was viewed very negatively. Veigar got heavily nerfed, as did Kassadin, while predominant champs were left untouched, despite a slew of questionable changes to the jungle items and monsters. Now with the arrival of 5.5 (and the upcoming 5.6), Riot is regaining their respect by introducing things like Cinderhulk, which effectively brought back a bunch of champs that haven't seen the limelight in a long time, Azir was buffed, as was Kassadin and Veigar. Veigar in particular is still going through more buffs. Could Riot have intentionally pushed out a few patches that were so obviously bad, just to return to us with a normal, understandable and well received one?

Get your tinfoil hats ready, kids, it's gonna get loud.
