I think opinions like yours are just borne out of ignorance and cherry-picking your evidence. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Riot designs for low-level play and balances for high-level play.

You claim they don't know there's more average players than professional ones. Why, then, do you think they bother with champion reworks and relaunches? Professional players won't give a damn how badly a kit flows together so long as they can get mileage out of it and will give even less about that champion's backstory. The only possible conclusion is either they have zero motive for it (which is silly, they're a business) or, surprise surprise, they actually do realise there's more people like yourself out there than there are HotshotGGs.

The fact that you still have that opinion even when there's recently been a massive surge in VUs and kit reworks for your benefit really irritates me.
