Riot, you should be doing this instead of what you are currently doing. its a much better idea.

currently, you ( Riot ), are attempting to balance and re balance the game during your patches/updates, with all sorts of manner of things and idea, this is not terrible except in one glaring way.

The one major bad thing you are doing is what the player base currently uses, the champions. you are not doing it right when you are trying to balance and rebalance them. and afterwards because you continue to have to re balance them almost every patch you do, you end up ruining the aspect of the champion original purpose and gamplay style, making the player bases reason to play more and more unreasonable.

we all get WHY you are attempting to make these rebalances, and we do not fault you for your attempts, but in this situation, its just like Americas relationship with Cuba, the policy wasnt working as much as the dumbasses in congress hoped it would, and it needed to be changed in order to see if the relationship can still be fixed. thus why america is now lifting the embargo on cuba, the embargo wasnt working and it was never going to work, thus it needed to go away and a new strategy is needed.

And this is what , in a way, is going on with the way you are trying to FIX your champions per patch. its not working as you intended it too and has become a mess, so you need to change up what you are doing.

so here is the new fresh idea: No more nerfs, ever, only buffs.

yeah thats right, instead of nerfing, you never nerf ever again, you only buff, and buff and buff some more. eventually all your buffing will lead to champions that are equal in terms of ability power, even though all there abilities are still unique. this will also lead to faster gameplay, and MORE SKILLED PLAYER BASE.

after all, more skilled players means better overall gameplay. and more competitive fun.

the nerfing you are doing is not helping your cause for LoL to be considered the greatest played game ever made, since your nerfing is based on strong biases and misconceptions. this means everytime you do a nerf, you end up holding the entire thing back, the game, the players, the content, for no good sensible reasons, only for believed good intentions. and doing that just hurts everybody.

TL;DR, stop nerfing, only buff.
