Riot: Send Surveys
You say the forums are an angry vocal minority so I challenge you to survey random players. Ask them...
1: If burst damage is OK, or too high, too low. 2: If mobility is OK, too high, or too low 3: If champion kits are OK, too overloaded, too underloaded 4: If elemental drakes are fun. Do players enjoy trying to come back and finish out a game when down a bunch of elemental drakes when there is no comeback mechanic? 5: If players enjoy playing against new/reworked champions like Pyke, Aatrox, Akali, Senna, Qiyanna, Yuumi, Sylas, Kai'sa, Zoe, Neeko, Pantheon
I think you will find that many players dislike the direction this game has taken in the last 3 years. Please acknowledge this and address it rather than continuing on the direction you are heading.
