Riot Games Balance Department

Ezreal Riot Billy: Sir its almost the 2018 preseason and we have no crazy ideas to add this year what do we do...

DrMundo Riot Scarizard: Don't worry, last year was one of the worst balanced preseasons in league of legends history. It was a total disaster and every assassin we reworked is either currently overpowered as fuck or useless as shit because we nerfed them into oblivion -

DrMundo Riot Scarizard: Thats why this year instead of breaking an entire class, we're going to break the whole game instead its genius!

Ezreal Riot Billy: But, sir why don't we just test out these changes on PBE before we release them to live servers, this year doesn't have to be a balance nightmare!

DrMundo Riot Scarizard: You shut your mouth, I don't pay you to think logically, this shits going out ASAP. Besides who cares we could demote everyone to Bronze V - 0 LP right before the season ends and these idiots will still play our game!

Riot Joe enters the room...

Soraka Riot Joe: Sir, I just finished our weekly balance changes...

DrMundo Riot Scarizard: Did you buff Janna and Ardent again?

Soraka Riot Joe: Yes sir, and we even threw in some Vayne and Ahri buffs as well!

DrMundo Riot Scarizard: Genius, someone promote this man to head of the balance team!

Edit: I "intentionally" put Riot Scarizard instead of Riot Ghostcrawler for "intentional" reasons.

You see this was the day Scarizard handed off the mantel of "Head of Balance and Design" to Joe. What is Joes true identity?...well that's a story for another time...
