This patch is probably the most catastrophic thing that ever came out of this game
The very very vast majority of the community, including streamers, pro players and pretty much every forums, asked for Riot to make considerable nerfs to a lot of things and to stop buffing pretty much everything. What happens in the first official S9 patch? BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS BUFFS
Almost anything that this patch touched has become immensely broken and the game, who was already in arguably its worst state yet. The game experience has seriously dropped in quality and it doesn't even feel worth it to continue playing if Season 9 is doomed to be this much of a failure. Oh, and don't forget the 100$ skin cash grab. Not only did Riot completely given up on balance, they've also given up on trying to hide their greed.
