to all people who think they know everything about a champion before even a week has passed since they came out, ever heard of a thing called a brain?

Here's the typical pattern I've seen in the majority of champs: release, endless QQ one way or the other (typically both, actually), HOPEFULLY no significant early changes (other than in the cases where it IS pretty obvious that they're needed) and then all excitement dies down after 2-3 weeks at the longest. About 3-6 months later, the champion's usefulness resurfaces when a skilled and respected player hears/sees about how well people who main that champion have done, picks them up and plays them in a tournament.

Some examples where it went just about exactly like this: Lee Sin, Shyvana, Maokai. Several months went by before people realized just how freaking good these three are and were at what they do (particularly in Maokai's case, who went something like 8-9 months after release where everyone thought he was shit, until people finally saw TheOddOne playing him and finally started paying attention).

tl;dr, give a champion a little more freaking time. Make some judgments now as needed, but don't act like you're an absolute authority on anything.
