Posting a video/screenshot of someone being really fed in a game proves nothing

In order to prove that damage is too high in the game, snowballing is out of control, or really any balance claim in general, a single anecdote says nothing.

You need to use empirical data from tens of thousands of games or just a few games (like in the case of LCS balance claims). This could be posting winrate/banrate/pickrate trends of top laners, posting data about which tower falls first in most games, or something else along those lines.

Anecdotes from one or a few games mean nothing when it comes to making claims about overall balance.

This reminds me of the imaqtpie clip of him responding to his chat talking about how op a certain new champion is.

He turned on the spotlight teaser clip and sarcasticly started narrating it. "Wow, this guy has 4 levels on him and he's catching him out in the jungle. I wonder how this will go. WOW! He just one shot him. Who saw that coming? Champion is so op"

Actually it does prove something if you take the data of everyone showing the problem and compile it, it does show something so you just proved your lack the thought on the matter. Begone.
