User blog comment:ClariS/Why Not Buff Instead of Nerf?/@comment-5418658-20120830223705

Nerfing is actually one way to see where you went wrong with the champ creation. It allows you to fix those little loopholes that actually make them OP. Like for example Kayle,kayle had so much skill change and nerf that she ended up still being strong but more fragile against kiting. Because if you just keep buffing,the game would be useless and it would actually not permit the player to generate skills such as: map awareness,timing and teammate sensitivity. All these skills develop through continuous playing and hard challenges that appear in the game. Even though LoL is really different from DOTA or HON. Proper skills should still be applied,thats my opinion to it :)
