The ReWorks
Basically Rito made the game more easy in terms of items/champs/masteries/ and a soon re work runes, so why is this bad?
-
Items: Trinkets - upgrading this item is a must for everybody, this is the 1st cornerstone that you will learn and separating you from the noobs and learning to play LoL the right way. Support Items - as friend pointed out to me sightstones are pretty worthless except is must for a team to have (how about giving it additional stats instead). Again a cronerstone for a would be support rank players. Selling the gold item and keeping the sightstone is sometimes the best way, but since you killed the gold income on the masteries you have to have it.
-
Champions: It is a great thing to have tons of champions, but updating it to current meta does takes more time. i understand that creating a new one is a lot faster than doing reworks on the champions, and tweeking them to just right is really hard (how about we hold of to creating new ones and just focus on the updates, 6 champions within one year is too much)
-
Masteries: This..... this is where legends are born, tweeking, studying, learning each and everyone one of them, too much? no i dont think so, though a lot of website provides a standard version of the masteries, but each champions are different, Each senario/game are different, each person is different, this can be the deciding factor of the game itself. Forcing players to pick between A or B (tanks go A, DPS goes B) will have a predictable outcome of each game.
-
RUNES: Damn this runes page. Well, it is a fact for Riot to be able to control more the game, They will change this. They will take down the lest runes we pick, and replace them with more meaningful runes but lesser choices of runes.
Conclusion:
Bronze hell will be gone, since the game became dumb down, noobs will push forward to silver or gold. Those will become your new hell. Those who've reach platinum higher, will find climbing up to be easy task since all of the work is done for you. For those who barely made it gold, well you will have more noobs joining you all and it will make it harder for you to rank up. All games will be more predictable, champion selections will be more limited and creating new meta will be harder, because creativity will be gone too(goodbye lulu top, vayne top) Each lane will have its regular champions, no more diversity. You may think you have choices but you dont, Riot made sure of that by picking a hand full of champions and creating them to mega champions, basically if you do not pick these champions you will lose the game (Darius/Fiora/Garen, forcing you to pick Riven/Renekton/Gnar), again making the game predictable. Same with masteries, If you dont choose A you choose B.
What is Riot planning and why are they doing this?
They trying to control the champion we use and how we use them, making them less trouble to deal with if someone discover a champion that works on different lanes, it means they will spend less time re adjusting the Champions, focusing on creating new Champions and skins for people to buy and making Riot more profitable(its not bad really, but it will be less fun for us).
