Balancing Champions. Just Delete Them.

Since Riot has so many issues with balance I think the best solution at this point would be to delete some. Deleting some champions will greatly reduce balance issues. You should delete some of the underplayed champions so you don't have to worry about them and delete op champions like Katarina since they will never be balanced.

Benefits of deleting a champion.

-Smaller champion pool to balance -Less new skins to make -Room for new champions -Less people complaining that a champion is too op or too weak -Many more

Cons

-Someone cries like a baby because their main is gone -Nothing else

Why would you not delete some champions? We have so many champions to use I don't think I'll ever unlock all of them and even less name all of them. Why worry about champions that are unnecessary. Stop the endless cycling of nerfs where you have to worry how each thing affects every single champion. If you create a small pool of about 20 champions they will be easier to balance and you can spend your time doing better things like making more summoner spells for strategic diversity. Another benefit of deleting champions would be making league a simpler game. With over 400 abilities to memorize along with game fundamentals league can be confusing. If we delete 80% of the champions league will be so much easier to play and encourage more players to play due to its simplicity. This could also make bronze easier to get out of.

This is the silliest thing I have read all day.

Cons

Multiple mains drop divisions because they lost their best champion People wasted their money on skins and their IP on runes designed to benefit that champion Riot gets a bad image because they took the easy (and incorrect) way out

And if you think that "Less new skins to make" is a pro, then I have bad news for you pal. Riot makes tons of money from their new skins. How many people do you think bought Spirit Guard Udyr?

That conclusion part was just dumb IMO. I have all the champions, and 20 champions is stupid. For one, you have to ban 6 champions and pick 10.

You honestly think removing a bunch of champions would stop nerfs? That's cute.

When the champion pool was much smaller at the beginning things were still buffed and nerfed often. Welcome to a game that changes every day in terms of FotM picks or new build discoveries.

How would they even decide what to delete? Do we get a dart board and just chuck darts until we delete 60 champions? Enlighten us as to how this 'correct' idea would work out. What are some thing that you think need to be deleted and why?

Most of the 'OP' or 'UP' things are just community whining about something that beat them last game or a teammate that did badly.

Yeah, um, no. Clear bias here, and no consideration of any other con to "just delete them." It would cause a shit ton of a balancing issues, for one.

Plus if you ever created meaningful content, you don't just throw stuff away and delete it. That's just insulting the artists of Riot games, and I'm not just talking about visual arts.

lol.. you just made yourself look like an idiot.

Riot's aim for this game is to make more champions, more lores (stories), more skins, and more game modes. The fact that you asked them to delete the champions. LOOOOL its like the best joke i've ever heard

Riot worked on 1 champion for like months. Same goes for skins. There's no way they would actually delete their hardwork? and seriously, its a free game. The only way for them to earn money is from champions and skins. What are you talking about?? Being so selfish and only think about yourself, because these "unbalanced" champions you think are wrecking you too hard in games. Dude. learn to play. wake up.

View perspectives and not only yourself.

Are you silly? This would be a neverending cycle.

I see some clueless people downvoting me even though I'm right. People just downvote because they are too lazy to post or make decisions affecting league.

They already do remove champions, its called full champion reworks.
