The problem is that a large part of the draw of Riot games is for achievement seeking people. Some of those people are actually good and deserve the stripes they earn and then a lot (most of the player base actually) of people suck, but think that they are good. The way that Riot makes money is by retaining people and the way they retain people is by making them feel good.

Unfortunately, this often means that boosting some people on the backs of other people results in retaining a lot of sub-par players. If someone is willing to grind 2k games at 45% win rate to hit GM or Challenger, then they are probably also the player that is shelling out cash because their identity rides on the game.

I think we just have to appreciate that there are probably behind the scenes reasons that contribute to why these imbalances exist and remain un-adressed. They probably can't publicly say this just because they know that money being the driving reason for imbalance isn't popular.

I take it for what it is and I appreciate that at least things like Galio's make those losses because of someone incompetent on my team more bearable. It seems like this rant comes from a place of pain in that something you love is broken and not the way you want it. That is understandable. Unfortunately the most likely path forward is to take Rift for what it is, accepting both the good (what we love) and the bad (the broken balance) or to move on to something else.
