Riot does their balance testing on the live server. The PBE is used for bug testing (except in extreme circumstances). Just because it's gone live doesn't mean Riot is stating that it's finished. Most of you seem to be under the impression that anything that goes live is suppose to be perfect and that follow-up changes are a sign of stupidity on the first account. That is ignorant.

And how can you say "Riot consistent fails"? Season 5 has probably been one of the best years for consistently GOOD balance changes. The issue is that Riot is finally addressing the hard problems and this is creating tension because people like the problems. For example, people didn't LIKE when Veigar's stun got removed - but it was a GOOD balance change, as the ability was unfair at its core considering what Veigar embodies as a champion. Subsequent buffs to Veigar weren't because "Riot was wrong", but because he needed a bit more power - and Riot doesn't like jumping the gun with big number changes, they'd rather creep it.
