Design team holds too much power

With the latest round of gutting to Akali I've transcended being upset at the balance team, and now hold my contempt to the design team. I think it's obvious at this point, the design team isn't held to any accountability and just makes whatever they want, with enough power to plop it on the balance team's plate and just say "make it work". The balance team should be able to look at concepts and go "no, change it" but it is very clear they don't have the ability to. Case in point is WW vs Akali, both CT champs, but the WW vgu actually had CT on a short leash so that WW would remain a strong entry level jungler, and he is one of the BEST designed champions in the game from every aspect. Not like Akali who look cool but is literally impossible to balance in the state CT very clearly forced her to be in on VGU release. Maybe the situation is more complicated than that, but I find it hard to believe the balance team would willingly allow one champion to take up so much patch space. I'm sure they would love to expend their time and resources on the 100+ champs who need attention, but can't because individual champions are SO BAD they take literally dozens more adjustments than the rest just to finally be considered unplayable. The current state of the game holds zero appeal and is fueled entirely by addiction, the game is unhealthy and can't last, and I blame the design team having too much power for that.
