if this game was balanced by boards, it would be a disaster.

You guys would:

  • Nerf Zed, Yasuo, Fizz or any other assassin to the ground. -Buff tanks even though they are by far the least fun class to play against when they are good -Buff teleport again so everyone will end up taking teleport again -Buff mages so they crowd out the mid lane pool (Mages are already in a decent spot btw) -Not nerf champions like Shen and Sejuani only because of their win rate while not considering how their kits alter the game

These are common threads I see and I just want to say that if the game was designed by boards, I think it would turn out poorly. A lot of the boards is biased and a lot of these changes would be unfun. If the boards actually knew about game balance maybe Riot would listen more to the boards.

Summoner abilities would be forced on people and everything would get nerfed until there was no diversity and every game would be basically the same champ kits.

Some of the boards doesn't, some of the board does, and some of the board does but disagrees on what good balance for League is. As with any group of people you have a wide variety of skill and knowledge on any given subject, and, as with any group of people, the things that get the most attention tend to be those many people agree with ("Assassins seem powerful," "Tanks are weak") rather than those that are perhaps better explored or analyzed ("Assassins seem powerful, but that isn't the same as them being strong and here's why").

You talk as if you know better but every example of yours says otherwise.
