The 4 kinds of the Gameplay board's "balance changes"

The gutting a change that completely destroys a champions kit, meaning they could barely function as a champion any more. Generally conceived by salty people or those who don't quite grasp some of the consequences.

The this changed nothing change This is a waste of Riot's time. It would barely effect the champion at all. Usually thought up by a person who mains the champion in question.

The rework A change that completely reworks the champion. Yet again by a guy who is most likely tilted.

The really good idea Rare, but always worth it. Sadly is mostly ignored by riot for one reason or another. occasionally gets recognized and put into the game (E.G. Yasuo's nerf that made his armor pen only count for crits)
