We had close to perfect balance in season 5.

S5 worlds was extremely diverse with more than 70 champions played. There were a few balance outliers like gp, vayne, and fiora but they can be banned. The mastery system was perfect. Then rito decided, "we want to change the game so lets introduce keystones to the mastey system and inject so much damage into the masteries."

I sure loved being killed in 2 seconds by a sated devourer full tank Yi doing 90% true damage.

We have never had perfect balance. Season 5 had Azir, when he was broken, pre-rework Fiora, the release of the Baron buffs, the Juggernaut update, the abuse of Steraks, etc.

Ye but too be fair there was no assassin update leading to full tank Rengar's or essential items like redemption in season 5.

Instead you had Morde ADC, and jungle enchantments that were each abused in their own way.

OMG yes, I loved season 5. Game were so much more fun and a lot less lopsided. Going 5-20 in Season 5 was far from a sure loss. Fast forward to today and first blood is a leading indicator of who's gonna win the game. I fuckin hate Season 7.
