I don't think that Riot's balance team even plays this game
-We changed dragon so that its attacks couldn't easily be blocked, but we nerfed pantheon anyway
-We nerfed devourer, but we nerfed warwick anyway
-
slowing people who autoattacked the user had no counterplay but red buff does
-
is feared for his splitpushing ability so we'll nerf his attack speed
and many more examples
