League isn't league anymore

I really enjoyed league because of its simplicity. Now its all gone. To be honest i think the masteries were dumbed down. But why change so much? Nothing was wrong....

Im platinum V and after this patch i can't win with the champs I always used to play. Personally i don't want to relearn everything.

League has been this complex for a while, you just ignored the complexity because you were familiar with it.

Each season brings new changes and you have to re-tune how you play. You're not relearning the basics but having to tune up for some changes. Been through this for 3 seasons and it's not they bad.

You liked simplicity, that's gone, but then you think something was dumbed down? Um... I'm confuse

That's your problem. As games change, so must we. If you don't want to relearn stuff, then don't play (or play and do bad or good idk). If you refuse to change, then you will be left behind.

I understand that, but there was nothing wrong in the first place for them to make all these changes. I;m tired of trying to keep up with everything on here. And so are a lot of other people. I mean if you want every game to have no tanks and everyone is ad then okay? Not a balanced game. There is no more of if you can outplay the enemy you can still win. It's way too lop sided.

Meddler pointed out that they are in the process of laying foundations. As for no tanks, well honestly I've been trying to get into the habit of filling in what is needed in a team comp. If there are no tanks, I pick Sion. If we need burst or an assassin, I'll pick Pantheon or Graves.

Whether the champion is good enough for the job is one thing. But I'll try my damndest to fill the roles my team needs. And I play blind normals.

If you can't do that in plat, then what's so great about plat?

If you stick a MOBA in the past, you get DotA 2. I for one am thankful Riot reevaluates everything every season.

DotA 2 is also vastly different from League, particularly in the mechanics. Most of VALVe's updates (which happen almost daily, by the way, unlike Riot's which are several months apart and patch very little) fix bugs and technical issues. The gameplay updates are where they rebalance heroes in a significant way. Hero reworks altogether only happen when the entire community votes on it at The International (as far as I know).

Partially the reason why gameplay updates aren't as frequent because it allows the players plenty of time to figure out appropriate counterplays for the problematic heroes. Also, their draft pick has five bans per side, unlike this Game.
