Too much healing, CC, damage and mobility - WoW déjà vu. When will Ghostcrawler be held responsible?

Oh man. Playing League right now has so many similarities to the time when WoW went to garbage thanks to GC. Literally all the same warning signs of unhealthy design are here as they were there: The "everyone needs everything" mentaility.

My question is a simple one: after repeated failures like class updates and half-assed reworks - when will GC be held responsible for his terrible foresight and lack of game insight? I'm just wondering. This guy literally killed off the entire PvP aspect of a hugely popular game, and to this day they're still trying to fix his mistakes (which is more than likely impossible at this point).

I won't go as far as saying League is going downhill, but I will say that Riot needs to reconsider their design philosophy before it goes too far. There are too many issues of grand scale in the game right now. The game feels unbelievably imbalanced compared to previously.

Just my 2 cents that GC has had enough time on his hands and he has done absolutely nothing for the game.

If anything, certainlyT is more a problem than ghostcrawler, releasing unbalancable champs (either broken op and meta defining or too weak on everything) like Kalista, yasuo, thresh and same things for his reworks like caitlyn, mordekaiser. but we're not here to judge or blame, but to suggest what could be improved.

The reason I don't usually mention CT is because there are too many Tresh and Yas mains to downvote the thread before anyone even sees it. But I wholeheartedly agree that his champ designs are problematic and cancerous.

I know, right? Only Ghostcrawler runs the game!

He's the lead designer. His responsibility to see where the game is headed. As you can see, he has very little foresight. Probably does not even play the game.

"When the only realistic answer to “How should I have prevented dying to that assassin?” is “You should have been somewhere else,” then that is a really frustrating situation to be in, the kind of frustration that makes players want to quit your game and play something else." poor adcs imo hehe

Funny thing is that this guy does not seem to mind ADCs doing assassin-level damage in a right click.
