About "balancing around pro plays" excuse

I kept reading a lot people saying that RIOT "balanced the game around pro plays". My question is how the hell that clown fiesta we saw at worlds and not only is a balance thing? To me it looks exactly like solo Q with one difference: they re more organized and it s normal since they are 5 people who know each other and talk on microphone, but even like that, how many close games have you seen? I mostly seen like 90% of the cases I think: Stomping or getting stomped.

So how can we call that thing balanced around pro plays when even there is a total mess. I miss watching those outplays but now all I can see is outdamage, outplays are dying. The amount of dmg in an amount of time that no human being can react to it s disgusting. You smash some buttons and in 0.3 s pro players see grey screen. How is that fun to them? Why do pro players accept this humiliation? How aren t they talking about this about a change of this meta? What s even more sad is that you can predict from champion select the outcome of a game based on team comp. The team with more broken champs will win is that easy.

All this balance concept around pro plays, I don t know I just can t see the balance, to me balance is when games are back to back when you can outplay not a blowing fiesta, you got caught on some cc and in 0.3 s you blow up before you can even use flash or anything at all. When I read stuff like: "Riot decided to balance around pro plays past years", I feel like laughing cause I cannot see the balance in this clown fiesta we have to deal with. Solo Q is even a more miserable experience than pro plays because you get some random dudes you ll prob never meet again and they expect you to synchronize with them as if you re all 5 premade in order to have a decent game hopefully. Instead you stomp or get stomped because you depend on some strangers to win the game and rarely it happened to have people knowing what to do and having synergy. I can t understand how people still play to get LP when the game itself is a HUGE stress. I thought games were meant to have fun. I know in competition is not much fun in general but I doubt people felt so miserable playing this game before like old seasons, as they do in this meta.

Listen NA sucks ok they should not be included in anything involving balance going by what we saw at worlds. Also riot has ALWAYS balance like this. Like I'm sorry but balancing around people that can't fucking play is the worst way to balance a game.
