I didn't read Riot's New Year's resolutions, but I know what it should've been...
A new balance team.
I miss the old balance team, sure, but currently they don't seem to truly evaluate how the game will change based on the new changes. Take a look at the "new and improved" jungle for an example. Everything on release is constantly overtuned or undertuned drastically. It'd be one thing to have something need little buffs or nerfs, but good God, that's rarely the case. Release Juggernauts. Release new Graves. Release Camille recently. Release almost anything these days. On the opposite of the spectrum we have Brad Pitt who needed drastic buffs to numbers before he had an impactful laning phase.
Riot does good on story, design, standards, marketing, and pretty much everything else (unless you count the nonesense with tencent).
Let's get someone like Scarra or even some of the shoutcasters or just some normal super evaluative players into the balance team so they'll have foresight instead of this mindless hypocrisy.
