Ghostcrawler favours marksmen

You could see the same tendencies in WoW when GC joined in: PvP went from a state where everything was more or less viable to a strong ranged bias. When he finally left Blizzard, PvP was dead.

How else can you explain systematical nerfs (so-called class updates) to everyone standing in the way for ADCs (as described in many other well-written threads), and buffs to everything that favours them? Tanks getting replaced by drain tanking ADCs, mages getting AP nerfs and a single ADC auto-attack dealing more damage than a burst mage rotation, literally every melee champ getting shit on and have to be ridiculous to stand a chance vs. ADCs Galio Fiora (this is the number 1 reason Fiora should not get nerfed). ADCs literally are best at everything: 1v1, safety, damage, tanking, laning, viability throughout the entirety of the game and the list goes on. Try facing Draven item 3812 item 3047 and see how completely ridiculous the game has become. Heck, ADCs don't even need to itemize against armor anymore, they instakill even a full armor Rammus with 0 armor pen. Yet people are on the boards crying for Orianna and Fiora nerfs even though ADCs are killing the game.

This has all taken place under the responsibility of Ghostcrawler who lacks any sort of foresight and analytical abilities. The game is so freaking stale right now I can't even get myself to play this garbage.

This claim doesn't even make sense. He's not even in charge of balance changes...

He's the lead game designer. He makes the calls as to where the game is headed. Was that easy enough for you to understand?

No, I don't think you get what his actual job is.

His job is to make sure the rest of the devs have a good working environment and facilitate stuff. It's more like making sure an aquarium is running smoothly. He doesn't remote-control the critters.

You keep telling yourself that buddy. There's a reason bosses get the blame when they let shit happen under their noses without doing jack to fix it. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if GC is a Draven main.

It's written information that is freely available, he also does a live QA every month so you can go ask him yourself then if you'd like.

The reason bosses get the blame is because that's the easiest thing for people to blame. If they know the name of a Dev they'll go after it. I've seen people rage at skins team members (hover the red name people...) about balance stuff plenty of times on here.

Idk about this ghostcrawler guy but I do think there is some bias in riot with marksman since it's always adc can't kill tanks: nerfs tanks, adc are killed by assassins: nerf assassins.
