I just wish that Riot would be a bit more consistent and informative about things they decide upon. That they've decided to tackle permanent slows is nice, but why not just keep champions in the state they were and release their changed forms all at once?

Why is it not okey for Warwick to have an instant suppress that can be interrupted - to the point where they are going to rework it to a skill shot - but at the same time make it Okey for Vi to have a gap closing ultimate that has AoE knock back in a line and CC's a target 1.25 second that can't be stopped?

Why is it okey for Kassadin to get reworked asap, but leave people like LeBlanc and Nidalee that suffer from similar if not the same issues in the state their in. Because what's happening now is that people that used to play Kass switched to playing those other 2.

Don't get me wrong, this is not only about agreeing or disagreeing with Riot and their choices. My personal problem is that they are not always consistent with what they decide. For instant bruisers, they talked about this quite a bit, and that is the direction they'd like to go with it. An engage with high risk and high reward, single gap closer, go in and go ham.

Which is fine, UNTILL they go on to design melee bruisers with heavy damage and sustain like and  who get LOADS of free stats but worst of all, get a gap closer AND an escape, so they will totally outclass similar champions just in the base of their kits.
