An Open Letter to Riot Games

To the dev team at Riot Games,

Riot, there is a major problem with your game development philosophy that has been present since Pre-season 3 began. You stopped trying to balance the game, and decided to constantly mix and match the mechanics, maps, and champions. Your community has never been happy and pleased as a whole because the meta often shifted off of the smallest changes you make to certain items, runes, or champions. Pro play consists of using a select set of champions that the players deem worthy of play. The sense of creativity among all areas of the community is gone. If you want your community to be on stable ground with you and their respective peers, then you have to gear towards balance. Make sure at least 85% of your items and champions are seeing significant play. This creates a healthy, diverse, creative, experimental and tactical experience. Work on stability, not constant push and pull.

"Change is good," but balance is even better.

I could go in depth further, but recent posts already do so.

Cheers,

Steven (Weaver)
