I don't know what people are on about, I absolutely love this preseason so far

I can legit say I've never seen the diversity in the game I'm seeing now. I'm seeing a lot of different things everywhere, several champions and classes are.

Fighters as a class are actually pretty good right now, contrary to what QQers that aren't extremely bias and short sighted are saying. Jaurims is honestly a god send. Masteries are amazing for fighters. The variety of fighters im seeing in top lane with a huge variety in summoner spells (flash, TP, ignite, exhaust, ghost) is making the lane so much damn fun. Rifts Herald makes the lane relevant, I don't have to take TP and port to bot to be relevant. I'm loving fighters right now.

ADCs are a little overtuned as is their itemization but that's fine, it is preseason after all. I absolutely love how riot has shifted many of their identities away from being right click bots and their whole kits get to shine. It's refreshing.

Assassins took it on the chin, I think they could use some help. I fully expect riot to not leave these guys in the dust.

Mages, your itemization did see a cost increase and the masteries are a bit underwhelming but I think mages are still fine. I wouldn't be surprised to see a little love thrown their way. Wouldn't bother me at all.

Supports! Sight stone items, that's cool, yeah? Everyone has to ward now, trust me it's for the best. If you think a supports job is to ward and only Ward...you're a bad player. The support class just got a heck of a lot stronger imo and my blood pressure has greatly lowered as I've seen less solo lane lulu and more support lulu. There is a god.

The jungle is a bit...confusing. I'm actually loving the new Ward jungle item. This is allowing me to get vision control as a jungler without investing in a sight stone while still being able to run red trinket. I've run it on a few tank junglers, Amumu and Shen, and I really don't think it's too bad on them. But I'm still not sure what's good yet and what the best starting item strats are for a variety of different junglers. Currently, I don't buy this garbage refillable potions, I just spam Hp pots early and once I get my jungle item, I don't seem to need many lots.

Idk guys, I know the games are ending a bit quicker but every champions scaling seems to have been enhanced, which is fine by me. I hate 45-50 minute games where there's a lot of standing around and doing nothing. Sieging a tower now doesn't feel like you need 5 ranged champions to do it post 30 minutes, the games don't feel like they stall as easily and I'm actually okay with that.

I hate creep block atm though, it's at an all time worse and it NEEDS to be addressed.

Aside from that, I'm loving this preseason. But I still don't have my forum badge yet and that's making me kind of mad, Riot. Get it together.

All in all, good job roit. Fuckers.

All I want for this preseason to be enjoyable is fixing the below:

  1. Give us the bonus jungle gold back and/or lower jungle upgrade prices a bit PLEASE.
  2. Let some keystone masteries actually matter for the jungle and for AP mids that are not Brand, Malzahar or Swain.
  3. Rageblade being 200% gold efficient.
  4. Warlord's Bloodlust being absolutely busted and especially Tryndamere.
  5. Towers are squishier than a wet paper bag while insanely snowballing the winning team due to high global gold.
  6. Insane team snowballing and lower chance of a solo hard carry comeback from the losing team due to global shutdowns.
  7. Please green wards back.
  8. Please let mages have CDR.

I REALLY like these new masteries. I don't feel inclined to look them up at all anymore and I think it's a lot of fun to create masteries that fit my own playstyle with a champ (Stormraider's surge Hecarim, cheese lyfe)
