Riot, as a whole, is an amazing company

I was going to write quite a hefty post, but alas, I'm too lazy and all the points I was going to make have already been said before, so here's the short version:

Sometimes people seem to forget that Riot is a far bigger company than solely the balance team itself. It's very common seeing people here blaming "Riot" for balance issues, when the vast majority of Rioters have nothing to do with it. Riot, as a company, are perhaps the best devs of any game I've ever played. That being said, it seems that all discontent and quitting players in the last year has been the balance team's fault.

So... I have nothing personal against anyone of the balance team nor do I know any of them. I also can't give you a single person that I'm entirely sure is able to balance the game properly as an alternative. That being said, if the current balance team have simply proven, again and again, that they're incapable of balancing the game properly, a good start would be to atleast attempt and try to give the job to somebody else.

I hate to see this game being hated (and I see it on every other platform as well - not just these boards, and not just LoL-related platforms), just because of one incompetent team at Riot.
