Riot is obsessed with patches

Seriously, all the patches Riot is pushing out, the game is starting to feel like when i was in High School and teachers just cared about getting to the next test. It seems like Riot just cares about constantly making the game change. I can understand the difficulty of making the game feel balanced, but seriously, there is way too many patches. Its the 10th month of the year and the game has been changed 21 times this year, thats ridiculous, and unnecesary. when patch 6.18 was released, Riot said it was the "Worlds Patch". Tell me why in the course of one tournament, there has been 3 additional patches. Clearly someone over at Riot Games has an obsession with changing the game.

Just my thoughts on the insane amount of patches/changes this game gets in the course of 1 year.

The game will get boring without balances and patches. imagine riot patching 2 times every year. That's like waiting 6 months for master yi with the devourer- bloodrazor patch. Which is like playing for 6 months with master yi stomping you every game. You'll get bored easily if you were to lose 80% of the games coz of master yi killing you every other game.

With patch comes new skins, skins are cool because it makes the game colorful. And with every patch bugs are rechecked so players can play without any weird bugs.

I would rather have a new champ every 2 months, not 3 champs every new patch.

That's just how F2P works. Balance is stagnant, and so is a game that doesn't change all the time. Neither is lucrative for F2P, so they will do all kinds of little changes and push the meta around so that they can milk money off whales.
