"But the reason he gets nerfed is because he's so powerful... herpaderp. Why do people dislike balance? Learn to play and stop relying on OP champions to win."

....The best players ALWAYS look for and attempt to use the most OP champs/characters to win. That's what's called a Dominant Strategy. Finding it is the entire point of the fucking game if you're playing to win. It's why the best players used Fox and Marth almost exclusively in Smash Bros Melee.

Learn to WIN if you're playing to win. Herp-a-derpy-doo.

Granted, it's not always obvious who is "OP" or even viable...Cassiopia sat unused for bloody eons until someone noticed her insane chain damage. She's a competitive pick now, and yet she actually hasn't changed much statistically since she was buffed last summer. Why hasn't she been nerfed down back to the rest of rabble? She isn't that popular; fewer people play against her, and so fewer people are going to QQ.

Even so, not all nerfs Riot makes are justified, or have been good decisions in hindsight. Riot panders to the QQers who DON'T learn to play far too often; nerfing otherwise balanced or near-balanced champs simply because most of the scrubs don't want to adapt; they want the game to adapt to THEM.
