Does anyone else feel like the end of this season has been kinda stale and boring. We don't get a real patch in at least 28 days (not counting 9.24b). We didn't get snowday skins this year which many were probably looking forward to. Normally its always kind of a downtime in activity around this time of year which is understandable but this one is more than usual.
The whole game is stale and boring . League's just a pro play and skin sale promotional platform at this point . Cash grab .
Game's soul has been shot in the back of the head a long time ago .
I do agree that it sounds boring... i mean the elemental drag barely change the map and there is no real update for season 10. I was expecting more changes than that for season 10. it's the same meta, with some map changes....
in all seriousnes: which part of the season didnt feel like a huge let down???
Extremely good concept, not the best execution.
It seems like Dragon Souls and Elder buff > Baron in terms of winning a game.
They brought ARURF back, the thing they know we don't want. They also cancelled Christmas themed skins and removed tons of good things the playerbase liked, yeah, not the best year.
The cool map effects and slight changes to the map were pretty big for me. I hate the random nature of the dragon souls though. If I'm playing Teemo for instance then Mountain Rift is ideal as there are tighter choke points to use my shrooms. If it's Infernal Rift then there's now huge gaps for people to miss my shrooms. Air Rift is kinda lame and I wish it affected more of the jungle or the lanes to some degree.
The alcoves are a joke. The use I have been able to get out of them is next to none. People can see you moving into them even if you hug the brush/wall going into it. The bush really needs to extend like 2 pixels more into the alcove for them to be useful for lane ganks.
I also wish the dragon spawned at either top or bot and that they'd simply do away with Rift Herald...
But doesn't everyone love a burst meta? Riot loves a burst meta. Everyone should love a burst meta. In fact, we're going to make Sylas a burst mage and Shyvanna function fantasticly as a burstier mage! Don't worry we'll get around to the rest of the roster over time!
The fiddle and voli reowrks? BURST MAGES! OH~ Maybe we'll just make more use of the lethality items so we can have AD BURST MAGES!!!

I feel like the game is in a great spot as far as toplaners are concerned.
I don't understand why toplaners are whining still, seems like we've somehow been brought back into the game.
It's not what season 3 top was, but it's fucking eons above what it's been recently. I still get autoloss/win games but they feel rarer than before (perhaps my sample size isn't big enough yet.) Great job Riot, it almost feels like you've gotten off your ass at least once.
As far as criticism goes. Dragons are definitely too damn important, they should definitely be worth more than rift herald, but in the state it is now its meta to afk prioritize dragons.
Oh and matchmaking seems fucking weird. It seems like there is a lot more games that are setting a clear and obvious difference in teams from the get-go.
With the changes to the rift i expected no snowdown showdown to be honest. It is weird to me why christmas isn't focused around winter and chill and isn't spring the literal season of rebirth and new focused around preaseason. It was promised for us toplaners that finally after 6 years our lane would get fixed and effectively they did nothing but push the game more towards dragons which is bad for us.
the 9 people who voted no are Riot's premium suckers who want buffs to Yasuo
Maybe they're hoping we lose interest in the game so they can start promoting their other games.
The game is literally League of Better Jungler Wins
