Riot, you fixed several problems, but created 100 others

All the balancing changes you have worked hard on, all the champion and items changes, are all for nothing with the introduction of a new mastery system. By trying to make the game feel like their are more "meaningful" choices, you have created thousands of variable changes in ONE patch, creating a toxic battlefield that should have never existed.

Maybe just the champion changes Maybe just the jungle changes Maybe just the item changes Maybe just the mastery changes

But Riot says what a D - Chemistry student would say; FUCK IT, CHANGE ALL THE VARIABLES AT ONCE!!! No but seriously. In the history of the game this might be one of the dumbest patches and I'm surprised this made it through. With as many employees as you had and as many people in the community voicing there opinion about the changes, you literally went ahead with them anyways.

You broke so many champions that Balancing is going to be near possible Yasuo/Tryndamere is just too insane Ryze can (not tested) probably perma root again with the cooldown reduction cap Sorako is an unwinnable lane with the healing changes LULU's shields have become increasingly impossible to deal with, creating a boring farm lane that you are not going to win

These are just to name a few. You also give terrible choices to AP mages. Raising costs and delaying Item builds will slow down there power spikes, and then the mastery choices they have are near useless by comparision to the powerful AD ones that are offered

I have literally /never/ to date had a problem with the patch changes. I was even fine with the bruiser changes . But then this? This is just pure incompetence. I feel like the balance team has done an amazing job, until this patch. People should lose their jobs over this.

Is this your first preseason?

In the gaming industry, a similar thing is said about bugs; you fix one bug and create 30 more. This is what you have done. I feel like you went the right direction, but went with too many powerful changes all at once. Anyone out of High School could have told you the cause and effect of this many changes.
