How would the game look if Riot balanced around low elo instead?
Let's consider this for a second, since Silver and below is where the majority of the playerbase lies and this is who plenty of folks say Riot SHOULD be balancing around.
Who would get nerfed? Who would get buffed? Who'd be perfectly balanced?
As far as buffs -
-- and the list goes on
These are all champions who see winrates at DRAMATICALLY lower than 50%. It doesn't matter that some of these champs take work but are powerful - the fact of the matter is that, in low elo, these champs are VERY weak picks.
Nerfs?
are the five strongest winrates. Even 
is stronger at a lower elo than every champ I listed in the previous section. Again, champion power or skill cap are irrelevant - these are statistically the strongest picks.
Who is balanced?
are the champs closest to a 50% winrate.
Food for thought, is all.
