In defense of the balance team when it comes to Galio.

I think it's often overlooked just how ungrateful the Job pf the Balance Team is.

They never get to be creative and do something completely new themselves, it's basically their job to clean up the messes that the Champion Update, Gameplay Update and new Champion teams leave behind.

To me it seems like because these teams aren't the ones who have to fix it in the end, sometimes these guys don't take balance into consideration to have the champion be closer to their "creative vision" or something like that and overload their kits because they don't want to let some of the things they intended at the beginning to go.

I'm not saying that the Balance Team doesn't make mistakes aswell but imagine you would have to deal with the whole mess that the Juggernaut update was ( especially Morde ) with release Camille, the absurdity that is the new Galio and a ton of other things without having any say about what they end up being until they nearly hit the live servers.

I believe if the Champion Update team would've had to balance Galio themselves once he came out, he wouldn't have ended up with nearly as ridiculous of a kit. Alas, they have the luxury of not having to care about it too much because again, they won't have to clean the mess up that they create and often times the Balance Team gets the majority of the blame anyway.

I know all of this is kind of just speculating but I just can't help the feeeling that there is at least some truth to all of this.
