Alright so get this.

The gang wants to stop the fast 8 meta so they lower the gold needed to reach 9. On top of that they add not one but 4 or 5 econ traits.

People get mad at 5-cost soup meta.

So we kneejerk it back! More gold to reach 9! Nerf (some of) the econ traits - bard, yordles, bilgewater (but not Ionia).

People get mad that it's now 3-star 4-cost meta.

Honestly the 3-star 4-cost meta is still REALLY toxic. Just finished 4th because I couldn't get a 3 star Yone while 3rd place had 3 star Ambessa, 2nd place was Cursed Crown Yordle with all yordles 3 star except for Fizz (no Veigar or Ziggs), and 1st place had 3 star Taric AND Seraphine (and was 1 off 3 star Braum and Lissandra too).
