You have to truly appreciate Riot for spending time and effort caring about their players.

Taking time and initiative to update the game on a WEEKLY basis and making changes just to make the game healthy and enjoyable for all is something that is rarely heard of in other video games. And this is accounting for the fact that there are currently 125 champions, and not only do they have to balance around their gameplays, but also they have to create new skins, new champions, and organize international events. That is definitely not easy to do.

Riot is not as biased as you may all think. They literally say that they balance champions around based on community feedback. If a champion is deemed too toxic and unfun, then they will nerf them. Why? Because player enjoyment and interactivity is a key part to having an enjoyable LoL experience. You may enjoy bursting your squishy enemy down in a blink of an eye but most people do not appreciate that method of playstyle. And likewise, you may be a Diamond 1 player who have awesome mechanics, but 90% of the players are not at your level.

So for the people who consistently badmouth about Riot, please don't. They try. They listen to community feedback, respond to them adequately, and make the best changes possible. I would love to see you work along with Riot.

Lee Sin? Zed? Nerf? Community feedback? You are a joke.

More like...

Smart changes in support items in S4

Smart changes in jungling items in S5

Nerfing of zero-counterplay champions and items like DFG

Enforcing the meta so that champions will become intuitive to the players

Making smart item changes (i.e. buffing weak trinkets)

Fixing bugs as promptly as possible

And more...

I never play Lee Sin or Zed but I'm looking through their patch notes and they have gotten several nerfs. Also, the fact that you are focusing your overall assessment of Riot solely based on two champions make you extremely biased.
