@Shaw : I didn't claim that they don't know there are more average player than good players. I probably phrased that badly, but the fact is, after a competition, the champions that were obviously above the others are quick to be hit by a nerf. While for the community-based changes, it oftens needs lots of players that request them and lot of time for Riot to actually do them. And I'm not even talking about the fact that non-english speaking communities are way less likely to be heard (I can understand why, but it doesn't change the fact that this is annoying).

So, when it comes to balancing (which is the topic, right?), high level players and pro players matters (much) more than your average casual player (you said it yourself). And that's what's irritating. Frankly, you're kind of offtopic by bringing VUs to the tables. Of course Riot cares about ALL their players. But not that much when it comes to balance.
