Hopefully this "Great depression" phase riot game's going through will be over soon, and the game starts to get as fun as it always should have been for hundreds of millions of people.

I mean can you imagine, league of legends had a 100 million users monthly in 2016?

The entire season has been going on an upward trajectory. The problem is that the game was in an extremely shitty place at the start of the season and I don't think riot could have realistically fixed the game until next season. That being said, this at least makes the outlook for season 9 really good.

To be fair, if they can't fix problems caused by pre season in a time 3-5 times longer than pre season. What hope is there for these problems to be fixed in the next pre season where Riot flushes everything they've done down the toilet?

Not to mention they basically had to test a new system that replaced both old runes and masteries that existed in the game for so long. Internal testing and PBE testing can only account for a small fraction of the pie that is the entire playerbase. The change to the whole ranking system seems very promising.

Ever been auto attacked twice by a Taric for 400 damage at the start of the game? The numbers actually don't make sense. Riot linguine at its finest.

Who cares about skins, when the game is broken as fuck.

New Nunu is pretty balanced tbh.

Nunu is a great new champ re-work

Except for the unnecessary CC unaffected by Tenacity on his W.

mechanics and gameplay are superfun

If by "mechanics" you mean killing the other guy in less than a second before he does it to you, and you mean "superfun" as in only 50% of the players in the game actually derive joy from playing it, then yes.

and we keep getting new content

Broken, non functional, and unnecessary content, that is.

Nunu needs various nerfs and tweaks for his reworks, mostly on W.

Firstly, the turning rate of his W definitely needs to be looked at. It shouldn't be so easy to use Nunu's W in jungle routes and literally running circles in a lane.
Secondly, either W's CD or its max channel time needs to get looked at. Running literally half way across the map within a rather short period of time with the "gank ball" on speeding, and having it back every 10 or so second while may be fun to use for the player, it feels incredibly cheap if you put yourself in the shoes of your opponents. Think if Sion can use his ulti every 10 seconds with reduced max distance and speed but instead actually has improved steering freedom, would you feel like playing the game on the other side of Sion's team?
Thirdly, the knockup on his W definitely needs to get a look at. On max channel, the knockup feels way too long, especially since you never see the first 2/3 of Nunu coming while charging up the knockup time nor is there any announcer unlike SIon's R. Combined with the first 2 points mentioned above, it makes the long knockup on the current W even more frustrating for the receiving end. Also, the knock up instantly applies even if you just cast it in front of enemy, and I have personally exploited it to my advantage of using it as a CC during a fight when it's clearly not intended as such (and I can do W twice per fight due to its rather short CD as mentioned, once to get into a fight and a second time near the end of it); I suggest Riot needs to give the W at least 2 stages of CC, where pre-X amount of charge time the CC is probably a slow and post-X amount of charge time it becomes a knockup (and do all of the other balance changes I've suggested for Nunu too). I also could've wanted the knockup to be changed into something actually affected by Tenacity, but whatever.

The rest of the kit seems fine, but I'm also kinda not so sure about the rooting part of Nunu's E given his R is already hard enough to escape from on its own, but I can let this go for the time being. The W is a big deal that must be addressed come next patch.

meanwhile champs that dont need buffs get them and the frustrating parts of the game are still left untouched better make sure these flashy champions are more viable than the immobile 'boring' ones
