Just a friendly reminder to the balance team
Balance requires precision and calculation.
It shouldn't be "Lets throw this shit at the wall and see if it sticks"
Your players deserve better.

I swear Riot pays someone to just sit on the boards and immediately downvote anyone who calls them out... Well, my upvote will counteract it.
Even with "precision and calculation" it will go wrong because a few devs and play testers will never outwit millions of players on the live servers.
Something that looks bad to their internal servers and PBE might end up being broken and Something that looks broken might end up being bad on the live servers.

After they DOUBLED Brand's passive (for the whole Season 8), I'm pretty sure they know nothing about data analysis, systems theory and advanced math overall.
It's just some cheap sort of cut and try.
It can be, in fact that's a great tactic if you do it on a dedicated server meant to playtest new and ambitious changes without bothering the primary, competitive servers. Hell, players would literally be getting in line to playtest for you, even if this theoretical server was horribly optimized for it's one job.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Conspiracy theory:
Riot makes fun but broken champs like Akali + Some nice skins like KDA = Profit.
They nerf her time and time again later but her kid is still super versatile but they are not going to destroy her because they are making money. Even with visual updates, the money pours in due to some of the redesigned skins.
This was my TED talk. Thanks for coming.
