If anyone is wondering why League has a pendulum type balance now

One only has to look at the years of WoW balance. It was always a pendulum. Buff something ridiculously hard, oh its op! 2 months later nerf it to the ground. 2 months later buff it back to a new op way, rinse repeat.

"But Careful," you may ask, "where would this shitty balance philosophy come from?"

Oh gee, idk. Ghostcrawler maybe?

i played wow specifically pvp for 5 years at a decent level. yes lol has balance problems but you have some nerve comparing the two. balance in wow compared to league is literally night and day. wow may be the worst balanced game ive ever played and they dont listen while having almost 0 communication with the playerbase, not to mention the insane length of the patch cycle. riot is constantly giving info to the playerbase and has a 2 week patch cycle. imbalance is inevitable but compared to wow, league is as balanced as chess.

Too many managers, not enough talented coders/programmers.

What do you mean "now"? Do you remember how swingy balance was back in seasons 1-2? Do you remember how many champions were at the extreme ends of the "stupidly overpowered vs absolute crap" scale? League has been been doing this shit since well before Ghostcrawler joined the company. They've actually gotten a lot better in recent seasons about making as much stuff as possible viable, even if the strongest champions do tend to fluctuate.
