Yup, paper vs. playtime are two important, but different, things. They can shed light on each other, but neither have the final say independently. And, ultimately, we really have only the choice of adapting and live with the followings buffs/nerfs that follow or move along and play a different champion, or game altogether - life's too big to rage over video game reworks.

Anyway, I remember when Lee Sin was spotlighted everyone read his skill abilities and deemed him OP prior to his release (high AD! manaless! gap-closing charge! omfg!). On release night, everyone scrawled UP on forums cos' they were getting nuked and CC'd to death because they tried to go straight AD-only builds. Then, Lee didn't even get reworked, some balances were made, and now, while he's not top tier, a viable champion who's quite formidable early and mid game when built tanky-dps.
