Gut the balance team, a clean slate is needed.

The League community is more disenfranchised than it has ever been after the atrocity of which is Season 6. The constant meandering between balancing poorly designed items and overloaded kits has led to the worst gameplay I've experience in three years of play. From the absolute joke of assassin tanks, percentage based attacks, to the shit-show of penetration items on caster marksmen (Lucian...). To the ruthlessness of swiftness boots, and the cringe worthy era of devourer. The balance and perhaps design team absolutely show incompetence. I don't think they play the game in the same capacity as the average ranked player... if at all. Now look we are in the Tri-Force meta. Welcome back merciless bruisers. Clearly something is amiss. Someone isn't playing the game they balance, or the game is being balanced around professional play (for the sheer sake of profit). Either way gameplay is worse than it has ever been. Even in the worst of patches prior to S6 you'd expect to have a handful of very nice matches, now they're so rare I cringe and reminisce in nostalgia when I stumble upon one.
