INB4 "you're just bad"

I started playing in season 2 and things were going smoothly with only 1 champ that was really broken, Teemo. I took a break just before season 4 started and got back halfway into season 5. Things have, well, gone down hill to say the least. Assassins are broken, fizz is still impossible to hit, and riot is nerfing the wrong champions. Riot got rid of the perma-bans in the tribunal because they were losing their customers. Another good way to lose your customers is by making a game that the only way to win is by playing a selection of 20 champs that cannot be stopped and are super easy to play(ei zed heimerdinger teemo lux). Dota looks pretty fucking appealing right now because its actually balanced. What happened to "the customer is always right?" When the majority of the fan-base says someone needs nerfed, maybe you should nerf them instead of buffing 3 other champs to counter them? We have no way of knowing what the enemy team is going to chose so the likely hood of us choosing a champion to counter one of the 10 satans is slim to none.

I don't want a game where I win all the time.

I just want a game where I don't lose all the time. Balance this shit out so everyone stands a chance.

At this point it looks like Riot does not care about their fans at all, they're just catering towards LCS their main cash cow. But what happens when 30% of the players leave because its not playable. Either Riot needs to make their game balanced or a large portion of the community will leave.

Have fun selling skins to ghosts.

In my option the game seems pretty balanced, the champs being nerfed are due to popularity, meanwhile the ones you mentioned as "cannot be stopped and easy to play" have many disadvantages and can, in fact be stopped. Take hiemer for example, Aoe skillshots devastate him, he would have to counter play by placing his turrets too far apart. Teemo for another, sweeper lenses and vision wards are ideal, map awareness brings teemo's status to low priority in the game, as well as a champion (preferably the support or tank ) build an item containing legion, as it's most effective vs Aoe AP damage. One more for good measure: Zed, sure he has high damage and received (in)direct buffs from items and masteries, but still has a huge flaw (like most assassins) if their early game isn't well, their late game is nonexistent. I never played as Zed, so I cannot give you more in depth about why he's not as op as you claim.

Overall the game seems well tuned.

*EDIT: Typed off my phone, so many error, I fixed the most noticeable ones

Because the customer isn't always fucking right. Or even usually right. I despise this mentality, both as a professional who has to deal with it and as a consumer. As a consumer, your right is the right to not do business with someone you disagree with, not yell at them until they change it. Just because something is wanted by a vocal group doesn't make it the right choice. You're not in a majority, by the way. Not even close. All of the forums and Reddit put together probably isn't even 10% of the playerbase, even assuming they were in unison.

And really, one should favor comfort picks over counter picks, especially at low ELO, because very few players have the mechanical ability to make the counter work properly.

Did you just imply that Teemo is overpowered?

Am I doing it right?

At this points its not "you win some, you lose some" its "play a broken champ or get your ass handed to you"

20 - 6 bans + 9 other players = 5 broken champs left over for you to choose from. Why are you still not winning then ?
