She's absolutely getting nerfed. Whether it's into oblivion or merely into okay-ness I guess we'll find out.

Depends on how many Ahri mains have to actually try against her

Humorously, even Heisendong - probably the world's best Heimerdinger one-trick - agreed that the nerf was justified. Big Bertha basically guaranteed that you won every single 1v2 against jungle ganks if you were even moderately competent at Heimer.

I am a new, self-declared Dongerhonger main and the only reason I'm upset about the nerf is that I didn't realize the big turret was so good

They will obviously strip power elsewhere if needed, these are just the new strengths they want to give him so people will pick him for a reason in draft

A better idea; remove Nunu from the game, refund anyone who bought any of their skins and introduce spicy new lore where he died

Counterpoint; trying to make characters good at everything is probably the source of a significant number of balance and/or design issues in the game

The problem isn't that she's sexualized, it's that the degree of sexualization is both detrimental to her visual design and contrary to already established visual designs for characters from a contextually similar setting. I.e Kassadin has a suit to survive the void and it's a cool bug helmet with tubes and a skirt and it's monstrous and radical. Kai'Sa's void suit in comparison is a purple lycra suit with a plunging v-neck and dumb looking eyeball jets. Why do you even need a cool biosuit like Kassadin's if the void isn't toxic enough to require anything covering your head or most of your torso?

I forgot ocean mode puts bushes everywhere and my colourblind rear end didn't notice the one in dragon pit, so we warded all around and waited for lane to show before starting to take dragon, and the enemy kha'zix just sat in that bush and waited to smite it and it felt so, so bad

They call it pink wards for same reason anime fans call their shows by japanese names even if everyone else knows it by its english name. Example Shingeki No Kyoin instead of just Attack on titan. It's more important to feel special than to be understood.

the especially ironic thing here is that "Attack On Titan" ended up being a bad translation of the title for really specific reasons
