The LoL balancing team has an enviable task. They face one of the most challenging tasks - maintaining balance among more than 160 characters. It's tough to manage, and sometimes they have to take emergency measures to correct a champion. This is complicated when developers introduce more significant changes into the game.

Season 14 brought a slew of changes to the game: new items, jungle camps, and map updates. The developers had to work hard to adapt the game balance to the new season, as there were fundamental changes to the game system.

The update affected the champion Maokai the most. The character became so powerful that the developers had to urgently implement balance adjustments in patch 14.4 and lower Maokai's stats. However, this did not help. The champion's win rate is still rising, and in matches, Maokai literally mocks his opponents. It's not hard to guess that many players started to take advantage of this.

Maokai's win rate can be tracked on the website op.gg. Here, it's clear that the champion dominates the support class by a significant margin. Reddit users continue to constantly comment on this and call on the developers to fix the "broken" character as soon as possible.
