"We think it's bad that Critical builds are too prevalent on Marksmen, so we're introducing a bunch of items that will still be abused by other classes."

At this point I’m pretty sure they intentionally introduce broken items or concepts just to keep people coming back to their game.

They definitely do. They've been doing this at least since season 3, and imho they're right: radically changing the balance does help keeping the game fresh even though it only has 3 maps and a somewhat repetitive formula; yet these continuous changes, and the high number of players and champions, really do contribute to keeping the game interesting.

Yeah, it makes you say “oh man, let me reinstall league to try that new broken item, I’m sure it will be fun!”

Balance by chaos, is their current slogan.

Just by looking at your meme choices i can say you fancy aram and dont play ranked at all.

The Matchmaking system goes beyond the game. I mean, it's not about the game itself. It's actually a tool that can be used in your everyday life - "a tool meant to measure your luck". That being said - before playing a game of LoL...

My last League of Legends ranked game has zero ragers and a support who wasn't auto filled.

So what do you think?

Of course you cant reason with them. It would require the boards to stop circle jerking and learn how to balance in the first place. But then we'd just be agreeing with riot and realizing theyre doing their jobs properly, and we cant have that.

Yes, the game is perfectly balanced.

Given the goal is perfect imbalance as perfect balance would kill any game long term, yes.
