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.''
