Yes, you are right, some are. But a lot of the time, you would be surprised who actually got a nerf or buff. For example fiora. Fiora was considered incredibly OP on release by the newer members of the LoL community. So you would think that she would have gotten a nerf, right?

Nada...

Just very small (20 points of damage down on shens passive, 240% reduced to 220% on shaco's decieve) nerfs and buffs to slightly nudge other, seemingly random champions into balance. This is because, through testing and examining stats of games and whatnot, someone saw that blitzcrank, on occasion, would fail to contribute enough damage to secure a kill, by a small amount. So they buff its early game damage at level 1 by 20, very small nudge.

Believe it or not, but morello and the rest of riots development team? They are actually not that bad at there jobs, I feel they get too much flak for what they do. They make mistakes sometimes, but to err is human, right? Irelia nerfed multiple times? The fact that after that she is still viable, probably means that she kind of needed it. However, morello is made fun of for 'BETTER NERF IRELIA!' still...

BTW: I never claimed that any listed champions are OP, but they are usually the ones newer players have difficulty with...
