--- Favourite type of character? (ADC, APC, assassin, bruiser...) ---

Utility mages (Zyra, Morg, Lissandra, Lux, Ori, etc.) and supports are my favorite kind of champs with magic-based assassins (Akali, Kat and LB) and Vayne being my guilty pleasures for when I don't want to be a team player.

--- Who do you find the most balanced champion in game and who do you think is the most broken one? ---

Most balanced I think would go to Ashe, she has a defined niche in being a carry with utility and has been a viable champ with only small changes here and there for years. Most broken I think would go to Teemo or Kassadin.

Kassadin is obvious, he has a 90+% ban rate in ranked and in competitive and probably will stay that way until Riot either guts him or reworks him.

Teemo I think needs a new kit, his whole play style revolves around being anti-fun and a lack of counterplay while at the same time not being all that rewarding for the person playing Teemo.

--- Thoughts about Riot's balance ideology through the years? ---

I think Riot's done a fairly good job of balancing throughout the years but I think they've rounded off too many champions and made too many champions too good at too many things at once. Recently they've stated that they want to start carving more niches for champions so that they aren't just the best picks for every situation. I also like what's going on with the mobi boots changes, I think more items should have trade-offs for their benefits which allows you to more fully customize your play style with your item choices.
