What the hell is Live Gameplay Balance for?

I'm kind of frustrated currently, so forgive the language I'm going to use.

I posted a thread discussing Darius' future in Live Gameplay Balance, which seemed pretty logical, since it discusses not only the Darius rework, but his current live state and why I believe it would be easier to actually just change him with incremental patches rather than wasting the resources of a person to do a rework. It got deleted.

My question is this why the hell can't we discuss live balance or possible balance suggestions in the Live Balance board? Why do we have to post it in the Champions and Skins board? This is going to result in the exact same problem that you ran into back with the old forum style; people are just going to use Champion/Skin for damn near everything because what's the point of Live Balance if threads are just going to get deleted when they have live balance concerns just because the title might fit elsewhere? It's so fucking bizarre to have two places that seem to do the same thing, then get mad at me when I post what FEELS like live balance discussion to the Live Balance board, only for it to be decided by someone else that it is in fact only champion discussion, and get the thread deleted and have me told to post it elsewhere rather than just move it.

I agree with you, and have long-ish thoughts to write up on what the distinction is meant to be, what it is, and what it should be.

This is a placeholder post, so when you reply to me, I'll get a notification and remember to write it tonight.

There's a Tamat post somewhere saying Live Gameplay Balance is for balance not champion related. He said he agrees it's confusing and will be working on updating it.
