Yes, we should all make alistar-combo style changes and make personal mechanical skill irrelevant to the game while promoting something called "champion mastery". Balancing a character around what GOOD players can do with it isn't a "flaw", its a basic fundamental aspect of design and shows respect for the people who play the game and who use that character. Putting training wheels on every character and buffs because "well, silver players aren't winning enough games with them" is a sad excuse for what is supposed to be a competitive game. DotA doesn't do shit like that because DotA knows it's skill floor is higher than LoL's and expects it's players to learn mechanics, while Riot looks at Alistar players and says "hey, you know that thing you spent tons of hours practicing and refining and getting good at and stand out from other players for because you are good at it and it clearly displays your mastery of the champion? FUCK YOU. A bronze player on their first alistar game can do it 100% of the time now. Now sit there and watch as they spam their "champion mastery" emote.
