Why are most people devoid of integrity and/or personal honour?

I really feel the need to ask this. Why are people so hopelessly in denial about the state of balance in the game. As soon as a popular pick gets nerfed for the sake of game balance, pretty much every main of that champion gets angry and starts complaining. This is complete detrimental and does not give Riot a correct state of balance in the game. I am pretty sure, it is the community that has led Riot into making the mistakes that they have (e.g. Tank Assassins) since Tank items were buffed to benefit tanks and Assassin players thought they were ripe for abuse.

Does nobody in this game have any honour or integrity?

People having different opinions on gameplay balance has nothing to do with integrity.

I really does... people will VERY rarely consider their champion overpowered, as long as they can keep racking up free wins with it. I.E. Yasuo

Well, maybe I'm just the exception confirming your rule, but I don't think so...

And I did acknowledge that Garen was OP when it actually was, just as I'm defending him now when someone argues it's still OP (because it's clearly not anymore).

That being said... I agree with OneMustFall, this issue has nothing to do with honor and integrity. There are plenty of unsportsmanlike behaviors in LoL (such as camping the player on a losing streak to try and tilt him), but playing strong champions in the current meta is totally fair in my book.

The problem is, it gives Riot a completely biased opinion on which to balance the game. A lot of the feedback that Riot gets is anger if they try to prune an overpowered champion (Look at the rage that existed over LeeSin 's rework - The ONLY champion to have their rework cancelled. My mains Zilean and Taric , did not get that luxury)

I understand why Riot have a hard time balancing when people give them completely false feedback because they want their chosen champion to remain overpowered. People arn't interested in a "fair" game, they just want to win.

That is not healthy for the game, as a whole and has cultured the accusations of favouritism that Riot face today.
