I am honestly so mad that they keep nerfing Azir. I don't even play him that often, but the fact that they keep peeling away what made him good at all is painful to watch. First they completely destroy his E making the shield weaker, the knockup literally nonexistent, and the whole use of that ability (escapes) null. Then they go and nerf his Q so that it doesn't deal additional damage past the first soldier? WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING ADDITIONAL SOLDIERS THEN? I understand that you can still attack with these multiple soldiers at the same time, but really? You honestly felt like Azir, of all people, needed further nerfing? I also understand that this sounds super ranty, but you're pushin' my buttons, Riot. First with the further breaking of champions like Darius who didn't need to be any more broken, then with the THIS. ugh. Anyone else have similar or different opinions? I'm honestly interested to see if I'm the only one who sees it this way.

The maokai nerfs are unnecessary as Santorin stated. Maokai does not deserve to die to juggernauts. At least make the cd like a 10 sec difference instead of a 20 sec

I am glad they are paying attention to Bard

Why is Mordekaiser still in the game? Can we at least get five bans per team, please? I want to ban so many champs these days.

Gotta love those lux buffs, glad to know shes becoming a riven level noob stomper (◕‿◕✿)

Skarner is probably still the strongest in there, but in this patch specifically I'd say the changes benefited Lux Lux or Nocturne Nocturne the most. The least benefited I'd say... Janna Janna. Yeah

What no Blakinola TL;DR? I am ashamed Rito!

I play this game PURELY for fun, and every time some new nerfs, or buffs come out it's always what the pros pick and ban, I mean I know Rito wants LCS to be a big thing but if this goes on too long Rito will trip and fall and everyone "besides pros" which is the same thing that happened to MapleStory, it became a "be good or quit game" like what Rito is going to League now.

Another great Patch Rundown where guests make the Riot employee look like the company has NO IDEA of what they are doing with their game/champions.

I like this, if i could hear more TL:DRs from the pros that actually play this champ i feel like i could understand more about these nerfs and buffs.

Where is Blakinola's TL;DR? Lucian item 3070

Sometimes I really think that who ever makes these changes doesn't think deep in the changes that they are making. Just like everyone is saying maokai didn't need so much nerf. He was one of the best balanced champion in my opinion with mixed tank and damage with cc. Now look mord will be nerfed soon I bet it will, they should buff other champions to balance the champion who people thinks it's op and give them a weak spot through that other champions buff and not just nerf the ass off everyone who is strong.
