Best Way to Fix The Game: "Get Rid of Pro-Play"

As somebody who could care less and is not interested in what some random Korean halfway around the world is doing in this game. I believe that getting rid of the "pro-scene" would go a long way to repairing the mess that League currently is. This actually applies to a lot of a games, a "pro-scene" just destroys a game because the developers go from making small changes to make the game better for everyone, to making massive sweeping changes in a desperate attempt to keep relevance and alter the game so that people will keep watching.

Although I cannot understand why people would PAY to watch a game they could play at home. The pro-scene of League has been the principle reason for the game's corruption and mark my words... it will be responsible for its death.

Just like Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm...

I personally do not believe that watching somebody sit at a computer and press buttons faster then anyone else constitutes an engaging viewing experience.

Chess and Snooker are "Sports" because the rules don't change... they have been the same for hundreds of years, constantly changing the rules means that League is not and never will be... a sport.

You are 100% wrong. If anything riot should make more changes based around pro play. Pros are the best players in the world and the game should be a balanced around them and not the iron bronze silver and gold players that think they are unstoppable gods at the game.

Wouldn't they like buff the shit out of champs that are completely unplayable in proplay? It's quite the opposite in reality, everything sucks to the point of Azir/Corki being the best picks... 30 champs rotating bcs "We can't buff others, reddit/boards would go boom".

Also what were the last "massive swings" except nerfing majority of relevant picks?
