So far the gameplay in preseason 10 has been poor

Honestly I don't even know where to start with this. The problems of season 9 have been multiplied. Evelynn is still able to walk around the map without being seen and oneshot whoever she pleases. Her 'warning' from her W is more of a "you're going to die" than a warning. But that's just salt for me to be honest with you.

Let's look at the changes you made to the dragon. Oh my. Now it's even harder for you to come back because the enemy team stacks up on their RNG dragons and become impossible to kill. And if I'm being completely honest with you none of my games ever even last long enough for the Elder Dragon to spawn so I don't have an opinion on the execute. And now the already snowballing team can have not only one, but two free turrets thanks to Rift Herald, and all the losing team can do is sit back and watch their base get destroyed while having no way to stop it because they're 150 CS down and working on their first item while all the enemies are on 5.

I mean seriously this game is more coinflip than I've ever seen it. You guys better fix it by the time season 10 rolls around or this game will die. It's already on the ropes and this preseason is making it even worse.

I honestly hate the pre-season changes. They focused so much on the map and objectives and not much on balance in general. It feels like such a gimmicky change. But it's the first pre-season patch, I'm hoping for big adjustments to come. Being able to solo a dragon as soon as it spawns is stupid and has pushed out so many other junglers from being viable.

The dragons are objectively worse overall. Ocean is basically the same but worse. Fire is the exact same but worse. Mountain is better than before for tank comps, worse than before if you have a lead and are pushing hard. Air is better overall imo. All Riot has done with the early drakes, is make it so that all of them are now worth taking, which I love. Also, they removed catch up xp for junglers, so now perma sitting on a lane doesn't allow you to keep level parody with solo laners. You actually have to gank strategically, and accurately, which takes more skill than stupid spam gank meta. The game has drastically improved.

to be fair, pre-season is ALWAYS a horrible nightmare. lol/

If feels like Riot has either half the people working on the balance teams than they used to, or the veterans on balance have all moved on to other projects. I've never seen the game be left in such a trash state for this long. It's past the point of absurdity and its just plain sad now.
