*Critical Chance seems like the furthest thing from balanced.

Good job putting words in my mouth.
Anyone can go do that, but it doesn't make them smart. Just makes them dull.

A word is such a small thing to put in the mouth of a man who regularly sticks his foot in it.

If you didn't want to imply that, maybe you should have thought about what you said. Riot knew exactly what they were doing with the nerf, but they could not predict how much it would affect Kassadin and Veigar.

I do. However, they should have tested out those original changes before making them live. If they truly knew what they were doing, they wouldn't release such broken changes.

Veigar's Win Rate: http://www.lolking.net/champions/veigar#statistics 49.46% dropped to 42.64% (0.18% shy of a whole 7%). It went as low as 39.76% on the 3th, just 3 days ago. It can't even reach 45%. Kassadin's Win Rate: http://www.lolking.net/champions/kassadin#statistics 47.48% dropped to 39.29% (over 8%). It went as low as a measly 33.48% on the 6th, just 5 days ago. The highest it got was 41.3% ...

If you don't see a problem here, then it's no wonder you kiss Riot's behind so heartily.

If the PBE tests could fully predict exactly how a change would affect a champion, you would be right. Unfortunately, all the PBE can successfully show is how changes affect a champion, and whether or not it's an effect that Riot wants.

Quite obviously, they were satisfied with the PBE changes, and while they were aware that it would have a negative impact, they figured they would see to what extent it affects them, and make changes from there.

Did you know that, for the first month, Syndra's win rate was around 37%? And what did they do? Oh yeah, they buffed her. Multiple times.

I was making a sarcastic point of them suddenly taking out something without there being anything to fill the void; something they shouldn't do. So very sorry you missed the sarcasm. :3

So what? You made a lame joke and I made a valid counter-point. You decide to say, "It was a joke." And I reply, "So where's the punch line? Or is it just not supposed to be funny?"

Like how they "fixed" Veigar with his "compensation" rework, spotting him a new win rate of less than 45%, right? :D

Implying that fixing a champion means one patch, instead of several patches applied over time.

I said "resources". What are resources?

Resource: ** a source of supply, support, or aid, especially one that can be readily drawn upon when needed.**

What would "resource" mean in the context I stated? Obviously (to people with half a brain), it would mean their budget. If you can't even understand what I meant by "resources", then stop trying to sound intelligent. It's not doing you any favors.

"I was implying money," to shorten all of your bluster.

Did you know that employees in a company are often called "human resources"? So, to anyone with a full brain, they could easily see that sentence as implying either monetary or human resources. The fact that I assumed the wrong one simply means I didn't read your mind through a computer. Which would be fucking awesome.

In any case, they have resources put into everything in their business. The fact that everything doesn't happen instantly doesn't mean they aren't working.

It would be nice if they'd actually communicate, but considering how people like you "communicate" to them, I can't say I'm surprised at the lack of discourse.

I know plenty about programming and group projects, having taken Visual Communications in college and co-leading several groups while in the course.

Interesting, and yet you act like you have no idea. I must say, it was an ingenious bluff, if it was intentional.

The only ignorance here is yours. Stop spreading it around everywhere, please.

The fact that I'm more willing to believe that Riot knows what they're doing than I am to believe that you have any rational understanding of how a business run by programmers functions does not mean I am ignorant; it means I am biased. This bias comes from about five years of examining Riot's design principles and the evolution of League of Legends, and about five minutes at a time replying to you.

Riot has generally stuck to their principles. They've made mistakes, and occasionally, they've stepped past old principles for the sake of changing the game. It takes them a while to get some things changed, and there are bumps in the road, but they have made very few long-term mistakes.

You, so far, made a streak of lame, sarcastic knocks at the choices made last patch, either being entirely unaware of what it takes to gauge changes, or just intentionally being an impatient snark. In either case, you are being actually ignorant.
