League heading in the wrong direction

Maybe some people love it that way, but I feel like League is becoming a big mess, new champions are totally out of control, they just do it all, they often have 2 complete kits (Elise, Gnar, Jayce), insane mobility (Zed, Yasuo, Kalista) mostly have very few weaknesses since they can be both fast, tanky and deal damage, champions gets multiple gap closer, in a teamfight, I used to be able to pretty much calculate what each champion would do, now it's just a big explosion, that's without talking about items which all gets an active. When you take a look at the original list of champions, most of them had like one hard escape like a flash, lots only had one soft escape like Ryze with his snare or Ashe with her slow/stun. Sure some assassins like Leblanc or Kassadin had high mobility but nowadays, they all do.

Alistar Amumu Annie Anivia Ashe Blitzcrank Cho'Gath Corki Dr. Mundo Evelynn Fiddlesticks Gangplank Heimerdinger Janna Jax Karthus Kassadin Katarina Kayle Malphite Master Yi Morgana Nasus Nunu Rammus Ryze Shaco Singed Sion Sivir Soraka Taric Teemo Tristana Tryndamere Twisted Fate Twitch Veigar Warwick Zilean

I also feel like the community knows that Riot is overly tolerant with toxic players and they just don't give a damn anymore, every single game I have 1 or 2 toxic players, not always super toxic but annoying at best totally trash in the worst case scenario. Truth is I still kinda like LoL but Idk, it's changed a lot and not for the best I feel.

Maybe just another QQ thread Idk, maybe I'm in the wrong and game got better, more action packed, maybe I'm an old grumpy LoL player living in the past.

There have always been high mobility champs. Zed was released in Season 2, and Kat came out in 2009! I'm not sure what all the champions you listed in that paragraph have in common? They all have abilities ? (because that is the only correlation I can see)

And there are champions being released with low mobility. Everyone forgets Vel'Koz exists, one of the least mobile champions in the game currently.

There was also Nidalee in 2009, who had 2 kits. This is also not new. Plus Elise was released in 2012.

They're the original champions!
