Some of the complaints about S8 greatly amuse me

In all seriousness, it's not because I'm sadistic and take pleasure in other people suffering, but because of something very simple. For example..

"It feels like all season is a pre-season!"

In actuality, it's exactly as Riot said it would be. Riot gave plenty of forewarning long before S8 even started what S8 would be like. S8 would be, and is, much like S1. Imbalanced and with tons of changes as the game itself is being completely changed over the course of the season. It's no surprise to me that things are imbalanced. Riot warned that the game would be undergoing drastic changes, and would be like S1. Which means imbalanced, and with large numbers of overall changes to the state of the game.

When did Riot warn the player base that all season would be like a pre-season? I don't remember that. And no offense, but even if they did "warn" players of that, it doesn't mean players have to like it.

Warning someone that you're going to kick them in the shins doesn't change the fact that you kicked them in the shins.

Please, don't besmear good memory of S1 just to make your argument. S1 wasn't full of shitty changes by no means at all. It had few changes, sure, but mostly Riot was still too clueless and shy to make bold stupid decisions as they started doing after S3.

my only complaint is that none of the fun champions are being broken

I have to agree with the OP. I don't LIKE a lot of the changes that have happened, but I have a good understanding of where they are going with it. They started with the runes, then moved into AP items, then moved onto assassins, then onto adc's and their items, now supports, next will be fighter items, then either tanks or mages to finish up. By season 9 we should have a pretty well rounded game.

We just have to get through the stage where tanks aren't tanky, ADC's are no longer the be all and end all, mages are bad, and juggernauts/bruisers and assassin's will rule the game. It's the AD meta, with a couple of AP assassin's and supports thrown in, but in the end we will end up with a better game. I'm more interested as to why they haven't spoken up about their plans for the the year in this way to ensure the playerbase are aware of not only what is coming, but when it is likely to arrive...

"S8 is like S1" Yeah well except I had fun playing in S1 and I didn't want to rip my hair off playing against new Cancerelia or feeding team mates or horrible match making
