How to make a "fair and balanced" game, by Riot.

Step 1: Make a bunch of champions.

Step 2: Give 80% of these champions targeted abilities, or make them reliant on AUTOMATICALLY AIMED attacks, and make the other 20% as complex as four buttons can be.

Step 3: Give targeted abilities absurd base damages and scalings, but give skillshots very weak base damages and scalings, plus make targeted abilities cost half as much.

Step 4: Give champs with targeted kits a handful of CC, self-peel and/or movement, but heavily restrict any CC / utility more complex champs have.

Step 5: Look at statistics, see that champs like Azir and Jhin have <40% winrates, while ADCs are just about mandatory and out-class everything else in damage.

Step 6: Nerf Azir, nerf every other complex champ, but buff Win Nhao, ADCs and other clickers.

Step 7: Rake in the dough, since kids won't pay if they have to actually try in order to win.

Step 8: Repeat, and make other FOTM waves to spike RP sales.

Step 9: Reiterate that you do, in fact, care about your game (when you really don't).

Step 10: Hump wallet.

Step 11: Repeat, making sure to hump wallet throughout.
