Games are too (****ing) short

Riot, stop catering to children. The strategy aspect of a MOBA genre isn't very noticeable when the game snowballs faster than the 15-minute surrender mark. I should NEVER see games end that early unless they all start intentionally feeding. If your bot lane backs and theirs returns with a BF item, that tower is as good as gone. Those structures need a LOT more magic resistance and some more armor to go with the recent 300 hp buff. No reason a mage should be able to do chunks on that turret. In fact, there's too much damage in the game all-around: marksmen, assassins, tanks, juggernauts, etc. Your preseason mastery changes (that's what they are, honestly) are just amplified versions of last season's issues; it's as if you didn't even pay attention to your own numbers. And this happens every preseason. Why is it always something ridiculously overpowered? Why can't you be more subtle with the changes and lightly increment them as the season goes on? At the end of the day, you're just increasing damage, and that's the last thing this game needs.

It's also going exactly how I predicted: this mastery rework didn't lead to different playstyles for the same champ, but what was optimal. Kleptomancy Ezreal is a popular thing because it's the most effective ffs. Stop handing us that lie every year and actually listen to your community (preferably those who are veterans or those who at least understand what a decent strategy game should entail.)

And while I'm at it, would it really kill you guys to suck up your pride and just admit Zoe is a TERRIBLE champion design? Both in kit and lore. It actually has ZERO place in the game with a realm of heroes with tragic or interesting backstories.
