Riot should balance around Pro Play

After seeing tons of ignorant players saying things like "ADCs deal 80% of the team's damage, nerf ADCs," "Zed is OP, nerf Zed," and "Yasuo has no counterplay".... (like BLATANTLY wrong things that nevertheless get up voted)

I think I'm fully convinced that the meta should 100% be balanced around Pro Play and the LCS. Masters, Diamonds, Academy and pro players, people who actually know how to play the game...

otherwise the game would be ruined as far as balance goes by the reign of the Bronze...

There have been plenty instance of historical guttings that have been motivated by mob reign (the massive, loud opinion of the ignorant) rather than sound policy.

Consider how the Lux Lobby managed to get Rengar and Leblanc unfairly gutted (and it took YEARS for Riot to finally have the political capital to revert the changes). Fact of the matter is, this shouldn't be a democracy. It should be a meritocracy and balance decisions should be made in the interests of the best and the most knowledgeable. Not just to appease low elo players who refuse/can't learn the game no matter how numerous they may be...

While I'm ok with the notion. Pretty sure LB was gutted for being pick ban for a extremely time after Kass lost his Silence and then the pros switched to her for hers. Then realized how strong she still is without it. Her kit is extremely difficult for mages and even other assassins to play around. This, also coming from a old LB player who couldn't be happier with her return. I didn't play the new LB because it wasn't very fun. I've also laned against a crap load of them in my time on League. So I understand why she was changed.

riot should balance around high elo soloQ because that's at least the same game as what the rest of us are playing

or maybe not, since riot will probably try to force everyone into playing trash clash 5v5 soon

No they shouldnt balance around pro play. Pro's play with each other constantly. Meaning they know each other. This doesnt apply to solo q. So no.

Also Challengers,masters and diamond doesnt count as pro play. They are high elo. But high elo=/= pro play.
