Really... You mispelled "making", listed no proof. LoLs balancing has to do with several things, some of which SHOULDN'T be used in balancing... Such as:

1) Noob-stomping (no, a champion should NOT be nerfed due to people not A) Knowing enough about the game to counter OR B) Are just spoiled and won't listen to any advice anyone gives them and insist the champion/skill/item is broke. Looking at the patch history and the Riot posts about Tryndamere are a good example of this. The whole point of the rework was to give him a better early and more consistency in his games, which got shattered by fury degeneration nerfs.)

2) Popularity (what happens to a champion that gets picked alot during a month? They get nerfed. It's not that they are OP, it's just people finally realize they have a few strengths and hop on the bandwagon)

3) Early-game/Late-game (too many champions either have a horrible early, or a horrible late. Rene is an example of this, he's stayed that way for a long while due to a "good early". Meanwhile we have many champions today that can outdue him in a number of areas.)

4) Riot changing the game, resulting in nerfs (The best example of this is Warwick. When Season 2 came with a new jungle, people didn't find a place for him in the jungle, as his sustain and single target damage was lame. Then someone figures out he's good top. BAM! Riot nerfs his Q cost by 16%. This actually hurt his jungle something fierce, as any jungler knows a 16% cost increase really hurts, especially when you have a low mana pool like Warwick's. So, Riot then asks the question "How do we buff his jungle?". They give him a new passive an some QOL changes, and BAM! He becomes horribly FOTM and is top again. So, Riot nerfed his Q damage by 2%. Doesn't seem like much, but that is 20% less total damage! So, all in all, Warwick was left unchanged for TWO YEARS after some buffs when mordekaiser was released in 2010, but due to the jungle changes he is probably in a worse spot (at least, imo). Then, Jayce comes out, whos hammer does more damage, for less cost, with more utility in his kit along with mana regen per hit...)
