Does a single person here want this game balanced around pro play?

Like 90% or higher are not pro players. Why are 90%+ being shat on for a small fraction of players?

Why shouldn't riot be balancing the game around players who understand the game? Balancing it for total incompetence or ignorance would make the game a utter mess

Looking at all those asking why they shouldn't balance around proplay:

Because some champions are straight up broken in organized play while utterly useless otherwise.

Because some champions are pubstompers in low elo and if the game isn't fun to play due to that the game will eventually die down.

Who's gonna be the next Faker if you have to go through unfixed low elo OPs on your way up, losing interest somewhere along the road thanks to that.

.... Proplay is being considered, but is not exclusively balanced around else you would see the likes of Garen, Master Yi and stuff in competitive and those would have 60% winrate in bronze... which is wrong in both cases.

If anything; they do not balance enough on proplay

The way I see it is that balancing around pro-play is kind of stupid.

If you want to balance around pro-play then you need to make the enitre game like pro-play, aka giving everyone a voice chat.

If that is not possible then you need to stop balancing around pro-play and switch over to high elo soloQ.
