Riot, Please Take Balances More Seriously.

I love League of Legends and I think its a very fun game to play. But recently, its become a bit monotonous. I feel like it is Riot's responsibility to keep making League of Legends fun for all players, not just the players that abuse a certain champion's power. I'm really getting tired of seeing Fiora, Riven, Garen, and Darius top lane. I'm getting tired of seeing Lee Sin and Master Yi in the jungle. I'm getting tired of seeing Zed and Yasuo in the mid lane. And lastly, I'm getting tired of seeing Vayne, Jinx, bot lane. I really hate it when I have to see at least 5 of these 10 champions out on the map. Fiora has huge damage (dat tru dmg tho) and so much mobility. Garen is a juggernaut, he shouldn't be as fast, as tanky, and as powerful as he is. It's a little annoying when Garen can catch up to a sivir who just ulted and kill her with his empowered auto attack and an ult. Darius has so much damage and sustain in his Q and holy crap his late game is too good. Might as well cover my whole screen in donuts once its around the 25 minute mark because thats when its pentakill dunkin time. Riven just gives me cancer all the time. so much mobility, damage, cc, a shield that scales with AD, and animation canceling!!! She has such good initiation and such good back aways. Theres almost no counter play especially in lower elos. All riven even needs is a brutalizer and some boots and she's just a waking nightmare. These top lane problems need to be balanced out a lot more. And i get that the juggernaut reworks have just been released. I know it is important to see how well a champ works out and to see that, its necessary to make them a little over powered so that they dont struggle so much. Thats why every new champ is so OP and gets nerfed to the ground next patch. But, it's more important not to go overboard and try to get as close to balanced the first time. But OMFG Riven is not a juggernaut and really just needs a chill pill. Master Yi is like the fiora of the jungle imo. he has good mobility and a crap load of damage(tru dmg as well). And its a little hard to fight against a champ that can become untargetable and heal up in no time and then get into another fight right after. Lee Sin is just an all around jungle bully. Lee can counter jungle so easily and its a pain in the ass to have Lee Sin get ahead so easily by doing so. And once that Lee is ahead that Lee can build up very tanky and powerful. Its surprising how tanky a Lee can be and see how he can take down anyone on your team in just a matter of seconds. He has such high AD percentages and does % health. It annoys me just thinking about it. I see Yasuo almost every single game. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/5aQcs4Qw-why-i-dislike-yasuo http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/lBkYPFEW-as-a-plat-1-yasuo-main-with-400-yasuo-games-yasuo-needs-a-damn-rework (that pretty sums up all my Yasuo complaints.) Now Zed, i think the last nerf to him was his 1 second ult shadow nerf and before that it was his attack speed nerf. TBH that attack speed nerf did nothing. And now that the time to go back to his ult's shadow is down to .5 sec, he hasn't been changed too much. The real problem is with his damage, but it's been made clear that he is a favorite and for that reason wont be touched. WHAT THE FUCK RIOT? And lastly the bot lane. I think that Jinx and Vayne are super strong picks right now. They can take down tanks just as easily as they can take down the enemy mid laner or adc, especially Vayne. I know ADCs arent the strongest right now, because their kiting has been severely cut down by the recent juggernaut reworks. and also because of high mobility champs like god damn fiora and riven and Yi and gap closers like Lee and Zed and Yasuo (if he can dash or land a whirlwind well).

All I'm trying to get at is that these champs need some tweeks. They are all a little over the top and have pretty favorable kits. Its not fair to have 10 OP champs when there are 116 others who should also get to be played as much. Some hardly even get to see the rift. Balance is really key to enjoying the game and its the key to seeing well rounded teams with variety. Riot, please give balances more thought, especially for those champs. Thanks

dat stale meta tho. If rito would get rid of the ranked toxic elo solo queue and bring back brawlers the game would be much funner. SR is cancerous.
