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?"
Where thy nerf the champion, nerf it again, nerf the item and then leave the champion untouched with no compensation buffs
"Dude riot is nerfing my champion and the item that it got him op, what are they even thinking?
-Don't bother dude, that's the Riot special"
Where they nerf a champion, nerf it again, nerf the item & then leave the nerfed champion untouched with no compensation buffs.
Lucian: "Bro, I hope the Riot special won't hit me."
Elise: "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

A do-gooder who likes to clean up the streets after a riot. Names after the well known Wombles of Wimbledon Common, who make good use of the things that they find, the things that the everyday folk leave behind.
Look out for the riot wombles on their way to Clapham Junction. They'll be armed with strong language, brooms and bin bags.
Me!?
Hym "Yeah, no the Jokers (The Joker's minions) ALWAYS canonically fuck up the Joker's plans in implementation. ALWAYS. But the Joker would have been there and I would have shot them for it... Or at least one of them. I would have been all 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BEAT UP ANDY NGO!? NOT HIM YOU IDIOTS!' BANG! And then I'd tell the rest of them to go set up the bombs and THAT is when Batman would show up... It would be dope. But the antifa riots? Naw, if you're going to do Joker shit you always have to do gas bombs."
