Aight, this has ticked me off enough. STOP BLAMING PRO PLAY FOR EVERYTHING.

If you guys see something like "Riot doesn't nerf Riven/Yasuo/Zed/Vayne/Other champion that doesn't even show up in pro play that often because of pro play", do your due diligence as boards users and downvote that shit. Downvotes aren't used for disagreement. They're used to flag bad posts. Someone talking about the balancing of a non-pro play champ around pro-play is clearly creating a bad post.

Like, we get it, Riven is out of control in solo queue. Riven HAS BEEN out of control in solo queue. Frankly, I have not the slightest clue as to why she hasn't been nerfed months ago. That isn't because Riot's just DYING to get her in the LCS. Sona's got a near 55% win rate as well. Is she "Riot's LCS poster girl" too? Rioters make it blatantly known that they don't think much of these boards for actual discussion and this circle jerking bullshit is part of the problem.

There was some old post of dev saying they are balancing the game around the proplay for the most part. Ofcourse not ever nerf or buff is dictated by it, but seriously mate, if this game would have been balanced around average players several champions, such as riven, zed etc would have been changed considerably.

Proplay is the major thing to blame why the game looks and plays the way it does.

Honestly: "Scaling into being unstoppable" isn't an acceptable game play niche
