Pro play

Pro play is ruining the game balance for lower elos and casual players. some champions might be super good in lcs where people actually know how to work as a team and can do harder mechanics when some champions that are super good in lower elos (like master yi) can easily destroy elos where the teamplay is chaos.

Yes i understand that people enjoy to watch it and if they stop balancing stuff for pro play it will become chaos but i think majority of players are not going to abuse champions like akali or (and previous patch) tahm. They will be not that good in lower elos for ever since if they buff them they will be broken in pro play.

When people are talking about a champions pro play it is honestly quite stupid since like 0.0001% of the players will ever play there. I would love for us to stop refering to pro play when talking about champion balance here on the boards if it isn't something that affects everyone.

Why would you balance a game around players who can't play that game properly. Most of champs that were nerfed bcs of proplay were problematic in soloQ as well and majority of them still has strong onetrick playerbase that excels with that champ and they are achieving winrates we only dream about.

Do you like Ryze? Learn him. Same for Azir, Kalista and many easier champs like Kench, Rakan, Shen and many I forgot about.

Most of balance buffs are about soloQ anyways and they are trying(unsuccessfully) to balance game in all elos.
