Sometimes I wonder what the balance team is smoking

Rioter 1: "Oh hey, look, I just buffed a totally balanced champ!"

Rioter 2: "Why would you even do that? Ekko is totally overpowered now! Look at that, he's taken over toplane completly!"

Rioter 1: " Dunno. For the lolz. Now, let's buff Irelia - she might be one the snowballiest champs in league with massive counterplay issues that is sitting on a very fine edge of being gutted or broken, but let's just buff her for the heck of it!"
