Why is Riots recent releases intentionally hard to balance and toxic for the game?

Is it just me who believes many of the recently released champions are terrible for the game and have overloaded kits? Sylas, Kai, Pyke, etc. Both on paper and in game their kits seem like a poor idea for both low level and high level play. Healing, multiple dashes, stealth, three abilities inside of one ability. Many of them have received reworks since release, honestly, their solution for pyke was to take his minion damage away and give him 600+ gold for a single ult kill, even if his ult doesnt do the killing haha. thoughts?

Look at Mordekaiser. Absolute cancer to play against, no counterplay whatsoever. Snowballs hard as hell, his ult is plain and simply an IWIN button. Can play top, mid, jungle and even hot into some picks.

Has a 52 to 56% win rate. Riot looks at that and goes... We'll buff his heal by 5%. What?

After months and months of Aatrox being spammed top lane, it's now Morde. Worst part.... You could outplay Aatrox. Wasn't easy, but it was doable. Morde does damage by existing near you, slows you by existing near you and his ult almost guarantees a kill.

Rito successfully designed a champ whose counterplay is not to play. Asinine.

yeah, my honest opinion is that they keep making radical balance decisions to distract people from the fact that their game is dying :/ I miss season 5-7 ALOT. I got beat more often back then but it felt fair, now its hard to respect 90% of the champions I face in any lane because the enemy will always be the same champion. I wonder how people dont get bored of just hopping around with the meta, thinking they are special when they do well lol

If morde didnt need to hit E and q to win lane you would have a point. But he does, he has counterplay its just one of the worst kinda of counterplay. Build QSS and dodge spells.

Their imagination evolved to a complexive edge so as their too complexive to balance champions.

nah the new champions are swag (surf)

the real points of eyre is rito's gutless balance direction after the lovely launchpad of The Reworked Trio Aatrox Akali Irelia things could have been amazing if these were chosen as the new standard of balance, but alas we cannot have nice things.
