How I would balance the ENTIRE GAME
Since pro play and low elo have such a big difference, therefore creating balance issues(akali being op, azir being trash .etc etc). Here's how I'd do it Iron-Plat/Diamond: Balance around low elo(balance around silver/gold) Above Dia 1: Balance around the pros(balance based on Grandmaster) Two separate patches should make game balancing easier. I mean like just look at Ryze, Azir, and Akali. They all got gutted because pros. Now, if we have a separate low elo patch, Riot can balance a lot more easily.
