Does anyone here play american football?
before you start, yes this is related to gameplay.
everyone says that "riot only balances this game around pro play" but i don't see the NFL changing their rules around, to balance around your backyard games with friends.. is that game "balanced around pro play"? no, its just a single set of rules and it's lasted for a looooonnggg time. just because Tim Tebow was tearing up college games, doesn't mean they suddenly forced him to wear heavier padding, or obscure his vision. no, he just played well. they didn't change the rules around him or "nerf" him so that other players would feel "balanced" this is an E-SPORT even tho its a video game, it's still a SPORT pro players are making a career out of. you don't suddenly stop playing football, because they didn't change the rules to your liking.. the sale in footballs, and football padding, and general sports equipment doesn't drop, just because they won't balance the game around your games at the park.
the issue with this game, is that they keep changing it with all these patches and balances, they aren't establishing a solid gameplay ruleset. pro players have to practice more than ever with all these constant changes, just to maintain their career.
go play some football, or tennis, or soccer, or baseball, and complain to them about "balancing" their game just because you cant play the way you want.
ooo i cant feel the hate and downvotes already this will be fun
