Riot Needs To Stop Changing The Game For Pro Play.

I personally play a lot of online games one of my favorite ones is hearthstone,when ben brode was asked why he didnt include a blacklisted and very successful deck in most tournaments in the upcoming nerf patch,he answered that blizzard would not make a balance change that will affect 100% of the community for 1% of the community. I really do not understand riot's way of thinking,champions that are in hundreds of thousands of games get nerfed for 20 games in the LCS,i enjoy watching e-sports and sometimes i even tune in to watch some games of league,the LCS could be better and a lot of changes could be made in the LCS patch to make the games more watchable but nerfing champions that the playerbase loves for pro players is unnaceptable. Every time i log in to play ranked i see the same 20 champions a darius a viktor some banned assasins a caitlyn or kaisa and janna,so why are you continouing to damage the game narrowing the championpool even further just to force faker to pick viktor instead of ryze. If Pro play needs more bans give pro play more bans don't nerf a champion because pro players ban him.

Except League is different from a card game.

"Banning every champion that's OP at high tier, even if only okay at low tier" is not a viable option.

Riot doesn't tend to buff around pro-play, except with buffs that should only affect pro play.

I'd rather they balance for pro-play than balance for bronze/silver/gold who make up 80% of the playerbase but have no idea what balance even looks like. And this is coming from a Silver (unranked atm) player. I don't want it to be too easy for me, that defeats the challenge of a climb. It's not the champion that needs buffed, it's me that needs to learn to be better at the game or champion.
