In its current state, this game has a lot of problems, and a whole lot of people are pointing out those problems. But I feel like not enough of us are giving solutions. So I wanna learn the ins and outs of balancing a game so I can start giving some. Even if it's pointless and they won't be heard, who knows, I might end up designing video games one day, and this will be great to know.

i will give u some lessons

recently brand had bad matchups that were horrible because of enemies pushing him hard and forcing him to waste mana riot gave him a new passive that gives him mana when he kills a unit affected by blaze to balance matchups u need creative ideas that dont affect the situations outside those matchups alot that change worked

riot changed graves hp regen to bring him up a bit it didnt change anything because graves barely gets hit in the jungle dont change stats that dont matter for the champion ur changing that is a medium fail in the way where they have to give it another shot on balancing him until the next patch wich will take some time to come out

riot buffed ornn knock up hitbox on e it helps him on hitting e wich he rarely hit in the past now ornn is a viable pick that isnt op or weak a really good change some champions will become op if u straight out increase their defense or damage even if by a bit and u need ways to make their current options more reliable

riot didn't change janna's shield health for a wile instead they nerfed the other parts of her kit that dont matter now riot fails each patch to make janna not op and she keeps her spot as one of the best supports think about what ur changes will impact and if that does actually matter

Riot doesnt care about what we think because they are more knowledgeable about the game than us. It is pointless to discuss champ balance.

most of riot does a fantastic job... its just their balance team that has issues... i mean ADC's are broken.. not becuase THEY themselves are OP ( excluding Twitch who is broken because of himself) but because their itemization is.
