Hey everyone, So me and my friend had a lot of discussion around balance, and this is a very simple question. How hard it is to adjust numbers on abilities/items etc. Like it is a lot of work or a matter of simple value adjustments. I know changing mechanics is hard, but what about numbers?
In a game with as small a scope as League, there is nothing that is really time consuming. Artwork may take a little longer to be high quality (but, again, it doesn't take long), but anything coding related is not hard in the slightest.
But, since Riot is an F2P company owned by an even greedier company, you'll never see any real work done. Just the bare minimum, half-assed shit to make the playerbase think Riot is doing something.
Older champions: could be quite difficult.
Newer ones: less so
Depends on what you mean by difficult. Coding wise? Probably not. Balance wise? Yes, riot has to think long term about every decision they make and about how it'll affect the game in the long run, so changes sometimes take awhile to figure out.
