Riots ballancing across a season
step 1 - add some new stuff ... good thing since they usualy aim at making the game better step 2 - see the arising problems and start patching them up ... band aid fixes that dont help much because stuff needs to get stable fast step 3 - get totaly locked with all the unsovled problems ecause worlds are coming soon
rinse and repeat ... oh did you notice that there is no part where they solve all the stuff that their new features broke
when riot says that they dont ballance only around the lcs ... i think that they mean "we wont ballance around lcs as far as there are no major events in it"
overall riot gets very little time to actualy make their game ... its just implementation of some new stuff ... nerfing stuff that goes op and being locked out due to worlds
