AntiSJW2 votesThe Bad Player behavior-- bad - We have a robot word nanny overseeing a play pen of passive aggressive and petty human beings. There is more thought put into pissing people off and dodging the penalty system than there is teamwork Matchmaking-- worse Autofill
between these first two: the game has sunken so far and has little to no enforced player integrity
Positional Ranks--- another good idea but failed application. This one is is really rich considering they asked and were told over a year in advance "what would be abusable". They released it as if they had no clue how it would work and everything people said came true.
Skin spam and "prestige editions". I feel sorry for the poor souls addicted to these over priced cash grab events. These are over glorified chromas marketed to people stupid enough to think they're special.
I know this one isn't necessarily "the devs", but selling out to TenCent (or China) in general wasn't a move that was good for the community, even if it was good for Riot employees
