I would say their balance approach is systematically flawed in so many areas that it's the culmination of all of them resulting in all the issues.

They need to spend a lot more time balancing things pre-release and on the PBE and be a lot more willing to significantly delay releasing champions after they've been revealed on PBE. Right now once something reaches PBE it's going to enter the game with no more than a few number tweaks, even when kits are broken by design. If they were to put something on PBE, take it out and totally rework spells (champions) and combinations / actives (items), the game would be better for it by several magnitudes.

This would also greatly reduce the need for kneejerk patching that they're prone to do.

I got placed bronze 1 today after finishing my ranked placement for the first time ever.

I am now 4-1 since placement and 9-6 overall with my last 8 ranked games being 6-2.

IS THIS NORMAL? people tell me its full of trolls, but the few angry players I have had were silvers. Who later calmed down once we won a team fight.

I had a Jayce yell at me in chat for 3 minutes straight to stop feeding. 30 minute game and I spent 40 seconds dead as AP yi when the Vi, who also yelled at me for "lololol bronze? NO I'm going to be jungle" decided to die 3 times to bot tower dives where she failed her ganks

I would credit part of riots success is in the incredible amount of "new" content they can make by simply shuffling numbers around on champs with you ending up with completely different experiences then before.

Riot doesn't hotfix just anything. they left black cleavers alone for a long long time and have bearly reacted to the giant belt meta. I don't understand what the complaint is with a company reacting to imbalances that it sees. Sure its cool to see the community figure stuff on their own but its going to take months for simple things to get worked out and its just better if they let the community develop new things instead of hashing out unfun old things.

Just you wait till you get your first losing streak and you'll understand.

Its odd, because I haven't understood a large majority of Riot's balance changes dating back to the Pre-S3 (and I think a large # of this community + others who dabble in the PBE agree with me). BC, Locket, BOTRK.

Even champ remakes seemed odd, like the random Hec buff a while back, the obvious problem Eve was going to be upon rework, etc.

I dont get it.

I agree that Riot's balancing is weird, but the hecarim buff wasn't random - it was compensating for losing 25 bonus MS from boots and thus lower AD because of his passive.
