The Riot Special

A certain type of situation where Riot Games™ nerf a champion, nerf it again, nerf the item that caused the previously nerfed champion to become too strong and then leave the champion untouched with no compensation buffs.

Person 1: ''Champion A was nerfed a while ago because of item A, and item A got nerfed today. Why isn't Riot Games giving champion A any compensation buffs?''
Person 2: ''The Riot Special.''

The Riot Special

A phrase used by the community in the video game League of Legends, when the balance team nerf a champion because said champion uses an overpowered item, then nerfs the item without buffing the champion as compensation, leaving the champion to die and become forgotten for about 2 years.

"Dude, my main just got The Riot Special!"
"So who are you going to play for the next 2 years?"
