League sparks me of the only problem of data-driven choices is that it falls into the space of how good the company is at interpreting data.

I am still bitter on them removing Hunter's Potion "because it was a loosers' item" when the problem was it only catered to an already losing crowd (tanks)

League specific problem is how they only view data through the lense of every player and every character, every item and every rune needs to win 50% of their matches or it's not balanced.
Which is one of the most insane approaches to data in a random matchmaking of 5v5 people environment.

Day late reply sorry for the devs actually don't intend to balance all items, runes and champs at 50% WR. Due to variables like character agency, context for when x thing is purchased, and things like pick/ban rate... they use more of an 'acceptable band'. 1/2
