Here is why you should not complain about balance:

So long as you have room for improvement in your play, and the enemy does as well, you can compensate for imbalance with skill, by improving. Balance does not truly effect the low and middle tiers of gaming in the same way as the top. Until you are at the top, you should focus on countering and playing around obstacles, to improve, rather than dismissing your losses as due to balance. You are not so good at the game that you cannot get better, and if you can get better at the game you can overcome the obstacle which led to your loss.

Even at the high levels of play, each individual only has individual, subjective and anecdotal experience, which can cause bias and colour their perception of balance.

The goal should always be more pew pew, less QQ.

Before anyone brings it up there is a huge difference between complaining and constructive criticism. We should always bring up constructive criticism, however QQ is neither constructive nor criticism.

You don't have any base for such claims. Anyone else should just skip this overdone thread and go read something better.

People complaining about balance is the reason why some of the juggernauts became OP. "You've gutted these champs!" made Riot give them buff after buff.

And this is generally the reason Riot seems to ignore the majority of G&B board threads, because things like tons of complaints about a new champ being OP that hasn't even hit PBE yet are everywhere.

this thread makes no sense... yes you can improve, that doesn't change the fact that when something is broken it is broken. I bet you just don't want your freelo champions to be nerfed since you have no idea how to play easy win champions

"You should not think something is overpowered because you can always get better."

Guess Release Xin was fine. As was Re-re-release Skarner. And Feral Flare.

Hell lets even go to other games! Mega Rayquaza didnt need a ban, Meta Knight was perfectly fine and Aquaman was perfect balanced.

I see what you are trying to say, but legitimate complaints are always valid regardless of skill level.
