The shift in playstyles and meta game is what makes the game fun and exciting. Finding new ways to beat the meta and shift it is what keeps players coming back. If the game was balanced people would eventually get bored of it.
I don't need balanced. I need fair matchmaking.
Chess is balanced
if the game was balanced and close to 140 champions were at least semi-frequent picks instead of a handful rocking 20-30% pick rates, i would get bored?
The game won't be balanced unless the balance team did more than throw around random changes claiming it as balance. Seriously annoying when there's no real balance team working on the game.
Not very fun when multiple champions and unhealthy or unbalance or unnecessary mechanics are put/left into/in the game for no reason.
The problem is that Riot is like "We're a competitive game, come show your uber mega skills with the NEW M A O K A I, WoooooW !." ; meanwhile the balance is absolute garbage.
Not with LC$

the only issue with that is when riot is making the game content for the current meta.
Imbalance is not fun, though. Whoever gets best champion first or does the most cheese wins, and that's not fun.
My teammates most of the time are 0/10 or similar, of course its not balanced, i require matchmaking to give me smart people for a change.
Certain direct competitor whose name ends with "2" is pretty balanced in its current state, probably the most balanced it has ever been. Why can't League strive to such? Oh...
I can see what you're going with this but there are times where certain champions get too meta or too off meta according to the community.

The problem is that there is an entire class of champions for which there is no item that renders them irrelevant (ADCs), while every other class has at least one item that hard counters it. For example the LW items, Void Staff, Liandry's and BoRK counter tanks, mages are countered by Hexdrinker and QSS, bruisers are countered by Executioner's Calling and Bramble Vest, and assassins are countered by Zhonyas and GA.
Thornmail used to counter ADCs, but it doesn't anymore. If it reflected 25% of incoming AA damage back to the attacker (along with applying GW), we could probably see more diversity botlane, because it would make certain targets completely inviable.
yea because it's way too fair to abuse meta picks .. instead the champion you like to play.. bronze
