This game turned the wrong direction after season 4.

Not pointing any fingers, but my boy Greg has been known to ruin previous games via shitty game design and balance.

I think we need to bring back Morello already, or get a new person on the head desk. There's too much power creep in the game, I can't even play a tank anymore because of how ridiculous runes and items are right now, and the games seem to be over before they even start. The game didn't use to be "The better team comp wins" or "I hit you first so now you lose the fight", it used to be exciting and compelling, filled with long games and had potential for comebacks. You shouldn't just balance the game via competitive play, hell look at the LCS splits right now, it's just filled with nonsense power creep. To me, 17/2 games aren't really enjoyable to watch as a viewer, 15-20 second teamfights where teams are coordinating attacks and using wombo combo's is fun to watch, not seeing a Zoe pick off a Lucian because he missteped a unit and the game is over.

But hey, what do I know.

Ghostcrawler ruined AoE2, SC2 and WoW, so please educate me as why he's DESIGN DIRECTOR at Riot games? I seriously cannot put my finger on it. The guy is clueless, extremely easy to hate, sadistic and aggravating, so why is he of all people Design Director? I just don't get it. He's forced more RNG into the game, ruined the in-game client, has forced his shitty philosophies into the game and made the game feel like a fucking EA game. So tell me, why is he Design Director?

Every one of these “We need Morello” back post makes me laugh because then I remember all the hate and post he got about needing a new head when he was head.

It started in this direction back in S3, but it's hard to say when they hit the threshold of moving past their previous worst state.

This game turned wrong ever since Zed was added to the game. Then it has been a huge power creep slope.

Ok, then I will: You.

Season 4 was riddled with punishing laning phases, people hated that, Riot changed it for you and here we are.

Greg made a huge mistake with most of his design choices since season 4 and he won't own up to the fact!

You're full of shit.

Season 5 & 6 were the absolute best to play in, literally everyone I knew woke up early in order to play at the time, currently not so much though.

I thought season 5 was nice, 5.22 is where it started going downhill for me

they started removing abuseable shit in season 4/5 and league was at its most balanced in season 5, league started getting worse at the start of season 6 with dynamicQ
