Can the balance team please start being more careful with their changes

It feels like every patch for the last few has had a new sub-40% win rate champion. We got Syndra not too long ago, Azir more recently and this patch we have Veigar, Zilean (yes, the man with one of the game's lowest win rates has actually dropped further) and Kassadin all pushing on 40%. Then you also get slightly less horrible but also noteworthy cases like AP Fizz being made so bad that AD Fizz replaced it, and Akali dropping to a 44% win rate AND being made super clunky to play rather than being given any meaningful changes.

It is so disheartening to see these (apparently) accidental guttings. How can the balance team get it so wrong, so many times in short succession? How can they not see "buffs" that come with more nerfs than actual improvements will not make a champion better to play? Why the mega-conservative approach to adding power?

The fallout is getting repetitive too. Every time this happens it's "It's possible we've undershot, we're looking at some changes for the next patch or the one after". People are left with unplayable mains for months on end (Syndra is STILL rocking a 44% win rate after two patches of rebuffing) waiting for the changes to come through. Azir will probably still suck after his buff, who knows when Kass and Zilean will even be touched again, and the Veigar ones will probably take months to come through anyway.

I really expect more guttings to come through on the PBE these days than actual balanced changes :/ Please start taking a more measured approach to nerfing, like you took with Jarvan and Janna (and throughout his entire life, Lee Sin). And when reworking, please do a bit more internal testing and listen to pre-release feedback more. It's not perfect - people would have had you buff Ahri after seeing her PBE changes, but problems really should have been expected with Veigar and Kassadin.
