Thoughts From a Dumb Bronze

I've played this game on and off since season 2, but I really didn't understand how things worked until late into season 3. I remember before I knew how items really worked building only Madred's Bloodrazors on Warwick because they had claws. I've never made it out of Bronze, partially because I suck, and partially because I'm a support main. Although I may not agree with a lot of the changes that have been made, the game has become a lot more player friendly since I started. I miss the old rune system, but you had to sink a bunch of IP into it in order to be competitive, which in my opinion was nor fair. I miss the old Karma with her Mantra Qs that healed for ridiculous amounts, but her rework made her a better champ. I really have not been involved for a lot of the patches that I see people complaining about, so I really don't know how to feel about them. However one thing that has remained constant in my time playing has been that you still need a good team to win. You can have a top laner that feeds, or an adc that doesn't know how to last hit, but the game is still winnable with good communication and teamwork. And I have to say Riot did a great job keeping that around. Implementing the ping system in 2013 was a tremendous boost to the game. In regards to the shield breaking mechanics they just introduced, I think Riot will balance it in time. Every new mechanic and champ that I have seen introduced has been balanced over time, if it's too strong they nerf the hell out of it and then buff it back, and the cycle continues. I was not playing at the time of the morde, akali, and kayle reworks to try and focus on school, so I don't know how those really went. Toxicity can be strong in the community at times, and I feel that instead just bashing everything that Riot does, we as a community should give honest and constructive criticisms about it. If they choose not to listen, then it falls on them and we as a community did our best to make this game better. P.S. Someone please teach me how to climb out of Bronze as a supp main, I just wanna get out for once.
