More like riot's obsession with making their precious esports more exciting to watch, except they're doing it all wrong XD
Without suspense, the game will never be worth watching; the pros play defensively because a mistake snowballs the game against them, then riot ups damage, which makes them play more safely . . . this inept cycle has been going for years, ruining game balance for common players without making any headway for staying a spectator sport. I played the game for strategy, but they've been shifting it towards a third person CoD clone, no wonder the game is dying.
