I believe it is time for Riot to Shift resources to game fixes and maintenance
> My opinion and the many of others from what i have read in the boards , is that this might be one of the most disruptive seasons yet.
We all love new content , new champs ..cool skins , it is the way to feel like the game is not getting old, as well as Riot's income. However , due to the many issues that are present in the game right now i believe it is time to hold off on this new content (perhaps not skins) before the old content is fixed. This list is limited to some of the things i have found to be unpleasant and that may have been present for quite a while.
-
1- Hitboxes- We all know about the Lux ult or Morgana Q or Nidalee spear seeming to go to the left or right and yet it still hits you. This issue has been persistent for QUITE a while .
-
2- Creep block - Creep block is a fundamental mechanic of the game and it is fine really , that is , until it stops working properly. We have all gone through our champs getting stuck in a wave wandering aimlessly because it cannot get through the creeps causing you to take extra damage or even die because of it , there is no " counterplay" or " counter command " i would say to get out of this situation. Has also been Persistent for Quite some time.
-
3- Autofill - Dynamic Queue was placed to get rid of the old "clown fiesta" that would occur during the champ select where everybody shouted the roles , this lead to other people who had to deal with the least liked role to troll and so on. So then Riot gave us the option to select 2 preferred roles , which is awesome!!! But then we got hit with the autofill which pretty much sets things back to the first problem . There have been numerous posts talking about the efficiency of autofill and how us players would rather wait 5 more minutes to get our preferred roles ( especially in RANKED). So yes quite a big issue that needs some attention.
-
4- Champion Balance - I will not get into it because this deserves a whole Discussion of its own , but the issues are evident.
-
5- Overall game balance - Also deserves discussion of its own but yes deserves some tweaking.
Among many other minor things that could be looked at such as optimizing the new client, old champions that need reworks,Champ select disconnections , these listed above i believe are some big ones. The thing that worries me is that some of the problems have been around for a long time despite being present in the boards continuously. "If we Do not Fix the base and keep building upwards , then eventually the tower will fall" The more content is brought out the harder it will be to balance things, and many of these issues make the game way less enjoyable.
So in conclusion i believe there is an enormous room for improvement in the game , that should be considered before more champions come out and/or other changes are done to the jungle etc.
