"The game is balanced because small adjustments make huge changes"

Ehhh. Yes and no. Small adjustments do make big changes, but that's not because the game is unstable. It's because League is a game of constantly shifting variables, everything from the number of players on a map to which minions are targeting which other minions. Hell, starting up a custom match and watching minions do their thing for the next hour and a half is basically a lesson in Chaos Theory.

The game IS unstable, but not because of their buff/nerf policies.

Stability /= balance. Stability is the ease of attaining and maintaining balance.

Name a moba that isn't ridiculously unstable. By it's very nature this type of game can't be fully balanced. And no, small adjustments don't make huge changes. Small changes can adjust some variables, but the huge changes typically come from peoples view points on aspects of the game, not the game itself.

Well yeah. And Riot knows that pretty well. Thus, buffs are handed out with tedious care, but nerfs are handed out without remorse.

As far as competitive computer games go League is actually quite balanced. People who whine about how unbalanced it is must have not played much else in their lives truthfully.

Any game that involves more than one person playing is unstable... When you factor in all the players plus the AI buckle up because you're going for a ride.

I do agree that i wouldnt consider the game balanced because of small adjustments making huge changes... but that doesnt make it unstable either. The ability to constantly change and adapt the game to make it stable for as many people as possible is a very important task that riot has done very well.
