I wouldn't say balanced, but in ok spot for sure.
Ppl like to whine "Oh, but dmg" while they are just out of position and then they come to boards and yell how strategy and positioning doesn't matter anymore or "XY oneshotted me" while that champ was 10/0, "Tanks are unplayable" I know for sure, if tanks would be playable, ppl would cry, plus they are playable, you just have to rely on your team, which, let's face it, sucks. "Snowballing is so huge" while comeback possibility is bigger than ever before. "Bounties for farming" 20 cs is kill so I don't see reason why pll should be punished for kills and not for farming.
Anyway, ppl like to complain, especially if it helps to cover up their mistakes. I have my nemesis as well(Riven and Vlad), but I can't play Riven myself, so I have to admit she requires skill, and for Vlad, whatever, I'll be biased for ever.
