My two cents on balancing games: pros play the game how it is intended to be played, it is the 'peak' ideal of how the game is meant to be. So the game should ALWAYS be balanced for the pros. It's not because pros are more important than other players.

The reason your average ranked player or casual player doesn't play in the same 'meta' as the pros is because they're playing the game, essentially, wrong. The intended teamwork or utility usage isn't there. Why would you balance a game for the people who play it incorrectly?

It's fine to be casual or below the top performers in a game, but if you decide to not play the game as it is designed to be, you don't get to whine when the game is balanced to match its intended design over your own experience.
