I'm going to *try* to address every one of your points.  I agree that Tryndamere and Ahri didn't need the nerf, but I see why they got it. New players can get stomped on by these champions without a lot of skill from Tryndamere or Ahri.  Rammus's powerball didn't really get nerfed that much, he got 1 less second of duration, but the initial speed was increased. And to me, his signature move is his super-obnoxious taunt...  Shaco's Boxes were what made playing against him complete hell. I completely understand why they nerfed the duration of them. They were serving as basically free wards. (teemo's is different)  Vladimir got a huge buff, what are you talking about? Who told you that was a nerf? Graves, when you think about him, is just pretty ridiculous. Mini nocturne ult, huge AoE cone thing, dash+AS buff, tankiness passive. And if you're in someone's face with Q, they're dead.  Skarner's Q was what made him a ridiculous God tier jungler. It's still not a huge mana cost. And that ult.... I think literally EVERYONE who doesn't play Skarner is happy about that CD increase.  Jax needed the change because they were removing dodge. And they made one of his ult passives into his regular passive. That's not bad. Riven definitely needed those nerfs. I see so many Rivens get ganked in solo top or jungle, coming out with a double kill. A spammable stun and knockback makes facing her impossible. So she pretty much did need that nerf.  Mundo's buff is welcome. It makes him at least somewhat viable for solo top or even jungle. His moves don't need to scale, they have high base (100/sec, 25% current health, 100-199 AD, 70% of max health heal + 15% movespeed.)  Volibear isn't really that great, at least the ones I've seen. Of course, noobs will be noobs regardless of buffs. So maybe those buffs were unjustified. I don't actually know.  Lastly, sorry, but RIOT is most likely not going to see this... But thanks for taking the time to express your opinions civilly.
