League is Cancer and is pushing older players away

I've been playing since the release of this game and was there through some pretty ridiculous stuff, but as of late I've noticed something more ridiculous than that. (lol multiple sunfire capes) The characters are all being pushed into niche corners, some of the original Characters are so far from their origin that you can hardly recognize them anymore. The balancing schedule you're running is Understandably intentionally making certain classes more overpowered than another due to The Seasonal E-Sports meta that must be maintained, but when you close all other play style options to characters you're hurting those that have loved this game from the moment it was released.

The character that's affected me the most is EVELYNN she went from being really fun to play with Ravage needing to hit an enemy from behind to afford resistance shredding and Q affecting the closest thing so it mattered how you entered her passive convincing you to dive enemies in a sea of minions your R being useless until someone died it was wonderful she was in essence a true assassin. The rush and intensity of her playstyle was diminished to nothing. Now shes this weird Stealth AP thing that you cant even play a different way. Youre forced to play ap to be anything close to anything. No movement speed buffs. no REAL gap closers no attack speed. Youve completely 720 degree changed eve. YOU MAY AS WELL HAVE CREATED ANOTHER CHAMPION Cause this is no longer EvelynnEvelynn . At least when you butchered her on her first rework I could still play her AD Now AD is pointlessly Laughable. Quit "Improving" champions and just make new ones. All your champs are pretty much the same now Barely any real difference between them all and just cause all the new characters you make are stupid better mechanics wise doesnt mean you need to make everything mechanically different. There are strengths and weaknesses to simple things as well.

I would consider it spam more than anything else.

Rather than pushing older players away, it sounds more like you can't adapt to the game.

i mean if u re silver after playing the game for 7 years idk how can u adapt to anything

its not adapting if its something entirely new. Adapting is a small change.

This Champion is the exception to my Adaptability.

this post is actually pretty funny. Adding skillshots to a champ means they are making them all the same. HOLD UP PEOPLE POINT AND CLICK TAKES SOME REAL SKILL! also, wtf....... AD EVE? id report you just for that if you were in a ranked game with me xD!

Design space is a finite resource. Every champion they add in eats up more of that space. They are basically getting rid of old champions and adding in new ones (in the form of reworks) to preserve unique design space. Older champions also generally lack the appeal of new champions, which means if they just leave the older champions alone and only put out new ones, they would get increasingly diminishing returns on the design space the old champions are occupying.

Basically, Riot can't afford to just allow older champions to remain in the state they are. Doing so would kill the game in the long term.

Yeah, gonna miss AD Evelyn. To me, she always AD and you coukd even build her as a bruiser. No you're forced to do AP and I hate AP itemisation(?)

I cried when they reworked urgot. Eve's rework is nothing compared to the devastation of urgot's passive.
