why are we making more gimmick runes and not more items?

they were dumb and broken the first time they came out and they're gonna be even more dumb and broken the way things are looking so far

why are we doubling down on this? i just want my interactions to be one group of players against the other group with some items both can buy, and summoner spells. now i have to micro-manage the cooldowns on their keystone and whether or not they can meteor me on their next rotation

these keystones might not even be so ridiculous if they were on items. at least then you would have to actually buy them instead of forgoing any real opportunity cost and starting the game with them

and now I can go into debt in League, what's next, are you gonna make jungler tax a real feature?

Last I checked, new runes aren't going to cost anything.

And new items just increase an arms race/snowball issue. That and it doesn't really help with item diversity because one set of items will always be stronger than the other set or else item diversity wouldn't matter.

item diversity is low because riot makes items that emphasize stats and not function

new runes are going to fuck up the game royally for half the season and i'm not really feeling the excitement of getting to deal with that again. it'll be "fun" for like a week before everyone figures out what the best setups are, and then we'll be back to complaining about how broken X rune is

You mean like normal because people always complain about X?

If you want more items with actives, go play Dota2. League doesn't need to be more like Dota.

ur right, league needs to be a busted game for 6 months, just like every season where we get 3 patches of a decent game before they fuck it up again

No it doesn't need to. Doesn't need to be Dota2 either.

You usually post some interesting discussions but on this one I can only tell you to have a little faith, cause I can't really defend Rito's choice nor can I attack it. And it's not like they're not working on balancing items at all.
