Riot has Changed dramatically due to Chinese

Not going too indepth, and would rather hear what the community has to say. But, I feel like since the company was sold to the Chinese for 400 million in 2011, the game shifted gears dramatically. We know longer had a game that was designed and frequently updated with changes that the players asked for. (We can look at Leona for example, people were asking for a Female Tank, and guess what, Riot produced one). I miss the days when Morello and Phreak and even the original CEO Marc (and the were active members on the team and talked with the community on a weekly basis). This game is all about the money now. It's truly sad how games can change over time.

My question is, especially for the players from season 1-3 what have you noticed and do u like where the game is heading?
