How have you not managed to balance a game that's been out for 7 years?

Every season is more unbalanced than the last because riot feels the need to do stupid reworks like rageblade, mordekaiser, graves, and other crap that was totally fine or maybe needed a small buff, but no, a game that was close to balanced is changed completely and is less balanced than you'd expect from a beta. League is one of the older and more established MOBA games; use that to keep your fans. Make it balanced and competitive, not gimmicky and annoying. You don't need to make a pretty champion with "fun" dynamic abilities (like a stun larger than baron pit) to make people play your game. Most of these brand new MOBAs are better balanced than this almost decade old competitive game, which is just sad.

Kind of a stupid question. Constant new champs, items, reworks, gameplay changes. You can't perfectly balance a game constantly in flux.

And every season is not worse then the last. This one is a little rougher then usual, but a lot changed recently.

People are just stupid and entitled and feel like everything should be exactly how they want it, even though people often want really stupid things.

Stop being a drama queen and adapt.

Too much twerking, not enough working.

When you add content it adds more factors. The more factors there are the harder it is to balance. QUICK! BALANCE THISD 1+1=....Not that hard right? Just 2 numbers to balance. QUICK! BALANCE THIS NOW!! 1+1+4+5+3+7+8+2+5x67-3/2=.....The more things that are added the harder it is to balance it. Not to mention, like with TCGs, that if they leave the content exactly how it is it will become stale and people will lose interest. The reason that the new MOBAs are balanced better is because compared to League they are baby (age of the game, not saying it in a negative connotation) games compared to League. They have a fraction of the content, and all of them that I have played are incredibly simplified. Of course, one could say that about any older Moba against any newer Moba. The reason the newer ones are more balanced is because they have less things to balance out. Of course it's more balanced, they are doing arithmetic to the calculus that RIOT has to do. It's not like they aren't open about things in the patch notes anyways. They tend to fess up when something is out of whack. People just yell too loud to be able to hear it.

Because they are not good at learning. -You can't change so many things about champions at one time. They have done this many times and it is usually terrible -You can't buff champions 10x before FINALLY listening that the only real issue is mana They have done this many times and it is usually terrible -They are literally incapable of doing class reworks without fucking things up. They could've stopped at juggernauts. -They make sure that every time they rework a champion that it is pick/ban. C'mon how have you not learned how to release balance.

The conclusion can only be that balance isn't a priority.
