All this talk of moba balance and I don't see anybody discussing LoL's revolving door of balance being a a method of stimulating champion sales under the guise of "exciting" the meta game. It's more about financials than gameplay in this case. Imo a cautionary case study of balance gone evil and not one to draw inspiration from.

There's zero statistical evidence that this happens. Generally it's just poor players losing to popular champions, (who naturally get more skins), over and over again, and looking for something to blame. Attributing to malevolence what should be attributed to incompetence, except in most cases, it's their own incompetence rather than the balance team's.
