Balance, Riot, balance.

New releases: Azir Overpowered, and launched with an insane number of bugs. Braum Balanced. Gnar Overpowered. Kalista Weak, but everything about her kit is toxic. RekSai Overpowered. Velkoz Balanced support, but useless in his intended role as mid laner. Yasuo Overpowered on launch, now obliterated and people still complain because he's toxic.

Reworks: Cassiopeia Useless on launch, now balanced but still utterly unsatisfying to play. Sion Underpowered.

It's been an interesting year.

Hecarim - Literally broke the game upon release. Had to be pulled back in for an additional two weeks.

Jax - Used to be the most broken champion in the game, with a kit that allowed him to do everything single-handedly.

Honestly, I don't know what you're complaining about. Also, please define "toxic" as you are using it, because I fail to understand how these champions are toxic.

No matter what, some champs are going to be underpowered. With this many champs, it's actually expected that half of the champs are underpowered. However, Riot is full of crap for having only up to 15 champs viable for high end play at once...

For the majority of players there is a much larger pool available. People tend to follow what the pros do though, who really just play a game of numbers. They will find out the best (even by the slimmest margins) champions to play in each role. People aren't pros, so why do they believe in following them to the letter?

The pros play the game of numbers because they're paid to win and keep winning, staying in the top, so they calculate who the best champs are and stick to them until things change. It's smart for them, but proves that Riot can't balance worth a shit.

Braum, balanced?

..Yeah, maybe now, but on his actual release he was getting nerfed nearly every single update.

That's because he could seriously damage carries...he's not supposed to do that, he's a non-offensive tank...
