Unbalanced champions : what are you doing, RIOT?

Hello.

I do not usually post at the forums, but I'm really disappointed from some time ago with the game balance, specially with the latest champions.

I just wanted to know if it's only me, or if someone else feels the same way than I do. In general, I find annoying that every time a new champion is released or reworked, he is broken as f*ck... what RIOT did with Yorick has no name for me. I mean... really??? why would you want to unbalance the game like that?.

I always perma ban him (and Illaoi.... another f*cking broken champ), and I have to say that the only 2 times I had to fight against a team with Yorick in their composition, we ended winning the game because we played better as a team. But Yorick's pushing ability is completely insane, not to mention the damage and sustain he has. Barely at minute 15, he had destroyed the 2 top towers and he was pushing the third, against a good Urgot, that started killing Yorick twice.

Was this necessary? and what to say about Illaoi??? Is RIOT doing this on purpose? is it so difficult to respect the game balance when releasing or reworking a new champion?. Come on, you can do it better, RIOT.

After 4 seasons playing LoL, I'm starting to consider moving to other MOBAs. Let me know your thoughts :-)

P.D: Excuse my english, I'm not an english speaker ;-)

Reworks need to take into consideration that there need to be a lot more reworks on a majority of the older champs. The old champs need to be able to keep up with the onslaught of new champs that are being introduced to the game (too many, too soon). Slow down, rework all the old champs into the way that the game is heading, THEN create/introduce the new champs.

Obviously new champs will have to be buffed/nerfed accordingly in successive patches but this approach would add a lot more balance to the game.

Yorick and Illaoi are both Juggernauts. They are traditionally hard to deal with in the first place. Illaoi is an anti-engage juggernaut who thrives by outnumbering their opponents in lane or in teamfights and the best ways around her is kiting her, grievous wounds, high burst damage, CC. Yorick is similar to nasus but uses minions instead of a stackable Q to push lanes and has some of the lowest sustain of the juggernaut class so poking him or small amounts of burst damage will affect him more than others.

Yorick isnt broken and neither is Illaoi. Juggernauts are just hard to deal with, and playing as them usually helps you learn to counter them.

Neither of them are even slightly broken. Learn how to play against then and quit crying.

Yasuo is BROKEN as hell.. Lee too. They play them every game and it is really boring because usually they win. I understand that kids got to play but we have to be able to counter them somehow.
