Lets talk- Riot Balance team. A logical explanation of why they are incompetent.

Riots balance team is the most inept departments in the entire company, and one of the worst in any moba. Every patch they leave you scratching your head and wondering what on earth they are thinking. This team never fails to ruin champions because of their horrible strategy of fixing a champions actual problem after a series of minor nerfs.. by the time they actually fix the problem the champion FEELS LIKE A COMPLETE SHADOW OF THEIR FORMER SELF. This is not healthy for a game where people like to main characters for hundreds or even thousands of matches!

#There are 3 major examples of this.

Lucian. During his time in the spotlight the core problem with lucian was his passive. Instead of immediately fixing lucian's passive, the balance team instead decides to nerf his W (???????) nerf his range (??????), nerf his ult (???????) before finally touching the actual problem. Oh and... when they finally decided to nerf his passive ( the nerf that finally ended his dominance) they didn't revert all the other pointless nerfs they did prior.

srsly?

Khazix. Khazix was too safe and dps oriented? OK lets turn him into a champion completely reliant on isolation! Ok cool, WHY DON'T YOU REVERT THE ISOLATION RANGE NERFS THEN?

Same thing with Akali , why did u nerf her shroud mr/armor when u were gunna gut her range and burst in a couple patches?

Same thing with Zed , Random attack speed nerf.... why?

Same thing with Hecarim why did u lower his mana regen when u were gunna double his q cost in 2 patches?

etc etc etc. This team never ceases to fail, perhaps no one at riot will read this, but if someone does please look into this so called "balance team" before they ruin your game

Thanks.

Lucian is still seeing play, he just isn't freelo anymore. Khaz is a casualty of the tank meta. He was pretty OP though before his nerfs. Akali just got buffed in 5.9. Zed was too good at splitpushing, that's why. Hec is really strong top right now, even with the mana changes.

There, explained.

Zed is still good splitpusher... this nerf is like the new Riven nerf - it doesn't do anything meaningful. Irelia gets destroyed, but stuns and bursts you in 2 seconds. Lets nerf the "e" dmg 40 points... Jinx aoe crits you from 700 range, also dealing 10% AD bonus damage, so time to nerf her ultimate... Riot never nerfs the problematic aspects.
