Balance, Riot, balance.
New releases:
Overpowered, and launched with an insane number of bugs.
Balanced.
Overpowered.
Weak, but everything about her kit is toxic.
Overpowered.
Balanced support, but useless in his intended role as mid laner.
Overpowered on launch, now obliterated and people still complain because he's toxic.
Reworks:
Useless on launch, now balanced but still utterly unsatisfying to play.
Underpowered.
It's been an interesting year.
- Literally broke the game upon release. Had to be pulled back in for an additional two weeks.
- Used to be the most broken champion in the game, with a kit that allowed him to do everything single-handedly.
