They call the removal of his R-W combo a freaking bugfix. It was one of his core mechanics which you had to pick up instantly if you wanted to play him. Meanwhile, only few players are able to properly utilize Alistar's W-Q combo, which feels glitched as hell, but is required to get the most out of Alistar's lackluster kit.

I get the visual angle, but am I the only one who thinks that's like, pretty stupid? "Oh yeah, at the last minute we noticed that it doesn't look right, so we just removed that, sorry for not mentioning that in the patch notes." It seems random, inconsiderate and pointless. His Ult is just so much weaker without the instant CC. You can still do a lot of damage if your foe is stupid enough to stand right in the middle of it, but there's so much less power to his Ult now. Get out of it or don't, doesn't really matter that much; if you can just instantly lock Panth up, he'll have his ult wasted.

This is a major nerf to Panth and the fact that they didn't give him anything in return and the fact that they didn't even mention it in the patch notes are inexcusable.
