Marksman thoughts

Disclaimer, I play mid lane and my thoughts are based off of what I've seen and played through.

Rather than completing changing every marksman item, they should've just eased into it. The nerf to the crit/attack speed items was good, but don't change the functionality of Infinity Edge right away. Nerf the item in gold if they felt marksmen were getting online to quickly or reduce the bonus critical damage from 35% to 20%. The base stats nerf was fine since every marksman went second wind/dorans shield anyways, so sustain isn't that much of an issue even after the Fleat Nerf. I feel if they would've just eased into their changes rather than just bombarding the players with these massive changes, the player base would've accepted it more than they do now. Riot feels they did a good job with how they handled bottom lane, but in reality, the champion diversity is non-existent. Heimer and Swain are viable APC and any other champion is going to get wrecked. Even with ten bans in the game, there are still so many champions that are just so strong in the current meta, that you can't ban them all. This season was just a clown fiesta really with all these major changes to the game. I really hope that Season 9 will be slower and smoother when it comes to patches and transitions and hopefully, all this stuff gets sorted out during the remainder of the season!
