Riot. Balance for E-Sports or for the average joe. Pick one

Title. Pick one and focus on that one. Olaf got olafed because of e-sports. Akali has a clunky kit because of pub stomping. Master yi was nerfed because of pub stomping.

Now, when you buff lee you say "There is NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM, HE'S A SOLID PRO PICK, but we will add more power up because he demands way to much mechanics." So, the champion is balanced, but you are going to give more free damage...? Because some people can't play him right? Meanwhile you nerf other champions to "separate the good Mundo from great Mundo"? Shouldn't the actual power lever of lee sin separate the good lee sin from great lee sin too?

Edit:

Wow. Rumble nerfs : ". We’re really focusing on separating ** the good from the great ** (hey morello) Equalizers with this change, making every ‘zoning’ ult a call-to-action for the enemy team. " They can't keep up the consistency in the same patch.

E-Sports.

I still think the solution for keeping game fun adaptive for everyone and keep competitive serious is to have two modes. A live full scale beta sort to speak that can test items for months at a time before they ever make it to rank.

So pbe, new game mode (with maybe few cool changes / ways to experiment with gold per second, faster gold generation, maybe shorter starting time... a mode designed to test items as well with faster ways of getting gold to buy items),

Followed by normals, and rank.

A bit like dominion but more geared as Rift test bed making sure that when things do make it to ranked that there's ample full scale data on them prior. Slightly Accelerated Summoner's Rift Game Mode

They actually don't balance for either. Balance is set around the level of the average Platinum player.

More or less. Go forth and be the balance!
