Notice how there's barely any Bruiser/Diver/Assassin QQ threads nowadays?

I think that says miles about the current state of balance. When Bot-Lane is being complained about more than champions whose sole purpose is to kill you either as fast as possible, or with as little possible meaningful retaliation as possible, then it's obvious as hell that something is seriously wrong.

(Just as a disclaimer, not saying that such complaints don't still exist, but currently there seems to be an overwhelming amount of complaints towards Bot Lane over Assassins/Bruisers (who should be getting the QQ instead because no one likes being killed.)

The boards killed off majority of the tanks and rendered them an auto-loss troll pick.

People dont even bitch a third as much about ADC since Twitch and Trist got nerfed.

Or maybe it indicates that those classes are in a somewhat decent state right now and the community shifted it's attention to the next issue.

I think part of the reason for this is that Bruiser mains have given up trying to reason with Riot. We know that champions not named Darius will never get much attention from the "balance" team.

The other problems in the game still exist -

Damage is too high
Towers fall too easily
Towers do no damage
No risk in diving anyone, anymore.

All of that is still in play, it's just that Riot keeps making such terrible balance decisions that they make us forget about the other terrible balance decisions they made previously... it's an interesting strategy I guess: Increase the number of horrendous balance choices so as to make us forget your previous bad ideas and give us something new to hate every two weeks... Well played? I guess?
