I really feel riot doesn't give a shit

I just hopped on the boards to post about how playing against leblanc makes me wanna peel my skin off and hang myself with it, but there are 2 people on the front page who already wrote about this. It's degrading seeing how riot not only ignores this, but all the other extremely frustrating stuff in the game, and I'm not talking about only leblanc, we also have:

Sion feed to win, build tank and still destroy anyone that dares lane against you, while also scaling better than them come late game. Akali I'm gonna be honest here, I don't have an issue with akali, other than her "true" stealth, it's bad for consistency, it's bad for new player experience. Aatrox Aatrox is clearly overtuned, but I think his kit is alright, it's not too creative but last time riot was "creative" they spawned Akali, anyway I don't think -2 seconds on his ultimate will do anything. I think he has too good of a late game for a lane bully, but I feel Aatrox will be healthy and stable with a few nerfs. Lucian I don't play adc, but every time he's on the enemy team I pray to god that he's not 7-0 by 10 minutes

Now those previous ones are mostly my friends' complaints and frustrations, I understand them, but I play gangplank and he's good against Akali, and Aatrox, on the other hand:

Viktor When this guy has item 3025 he gets to shield himself for 2.5s every 3.2s which gives you a whopping 0.7 seconds to trade with him without his shield on. All the while he deals damage to you, and is doing all of this from range.

Urgot This dude is a lane bully and late game champion, he wins all-ins and has good poke, he's also very very tanky, and has enough damage that he only needs to build item 3071 and go tank for the rest, he also has a bit of cc and mobility, but I don't think those are the issues. I think toning down his armor from {38-111} (level 1-18) to {36-100).

I'm sure you at least agree on some of those issues, and yet you look on the PBE and there's nothing, just some (well deserved) pyke nerfs. And yea sure it's pre-season, but these issues have been there for long before pre-season.

And there's my rant, I'm really fed up with riot's negligence to these things, and while I don't think I'll quit league of legends, I most certainly will never recommend it to anyone at the state it's in right now.

The issue with urgot is illequiped players.

He's shockingly easy to deal with if you slow down for a second and treat him like heimer. He requires you to play differently. He's strong less because of his numbers and more because of the meta.

This meta is dominated by diving champions in 3 positions. Urgot's kit is anti dive in every way just like heim and illaoi. Only he's stronger and more reliable than illaoi. These champions WANT you to engage onto them, because you do the hard part for them (getting into range). But play a passive top lane tank or juggernaut, a ranged champ like donger. or someone who can counter his R like trynd or olaf. And just farm. You will outscale him drastically and he'll become an ult bot.

It's like when people face mundo or vlad and don't buy morello or exe calling. They choose not to counter him. Even when doing to is relatively simple in what you have to do (not necessarily easy)

Can't forget the Irelia with her Q instantly on cooldown all throughout the game. Just played against one where even the minions at full health were resetting her Q. I counted 7 dashes in one wave before she went back to tower and they were all at full hp.
