Catering to high elo/ranked players is a mistake
Diamond and above only constitute around 2% of ranked; plat and above around 10% of ranked. I don’t know where the normal players who never play ranked fall into, but I suspect it’s worse.
This makes over 90% of us who must deal with balancing that we will most likely NEVER be able to effectively handle.
I don’t care about all the strengths vs weaknesses of XxX champion at high elo, we will never get there. I don’t care about how you pros deal with XxX champion, or about how your awesome team work will solve the problem. We will most likely never be able to accomplish proper play against these champions.
The solution: nerf XxX champion into oblivion, even if he is NEVER played at high elo ever again. You just saved 90% of the rest of us hell.
nerf it. Right now Riot pretty much ignores how the game plays out in gold and below. But they should still balance to high elo first then fix things that are broken in low elo.
