I feel like riot is just trolling at this point

In the last year or so they've been making ridiculous changes that no one asked for, and they've all had negative impacts on the game and the style of the game. What makes it worse, is that the community is very vocal about what they want and dont want, but riot ignores all of that and just does their own thing. I'm mainly going to talk about the last like 3 months(ish) because this is where i feel like riot has really dropped the ball.

Number One, Preseason. So this one is pretty straight forward, we just had a 3 month long preseason (which is WAY too long) where practically nothing changed. We asked for damage nerfs, tower buffs, longer games, harder to kill epic monsters and just general balance changes. But what we got was new DH being broken, towers that give more gold and aren't much tankier, same length games, and nothing changed with epic monsters. On top of all of that, they didn't make a real change until the day preseason ended, completely ruining the entire point of preseason. You just had 3 months to play around with your game and you ignored it, then changed shit the day the season started. How out of touch with the game are you guys?

Number Two, New Ranked System I know ranked JUST started so obviously i don't know all the ins and outs and how it'll work later, but as of now it's a huge fail riddled with problems people were talking about when they announced it. The problem with the way the system is now, is that people now only really care about their main roles rank. So if people get autofilled (that's still a dumb system, even dumber now) they dont care about the game anymore, they lose nothing. Players in higher elo are screwed if they play a high played role, Shiphtur is already saying how it's garbage because everyone wants mid, so he's been stuck on ADC for an equal amount of time as his main. On top of that, why is grandmaster/challenger "locked" for a month? That doesn't do anything other than piss challenger level players off. One more smaller issue is that people will have a much harder time climbing because of this. I play ADC and having an autofilled support practically means an auto loss on the lane, but now having an autofilled support who wont lose anything from losing the game? It's insane. There is no shame in just reverting the ranked system, hell im sure a lot more people would respect Riot for accepting they were wrong for once and changing the game in a way we want.

Number Three, The New Champ Im going to keep this one short and sweet, why the hell would you release a new champion at the start of a new ranked season and not in the 3 month preseason we JUST had.

My main issue with League and Riot at the moment is that they don't address issues that have been in the game for awhile, but then they add stuff no one has asked for which brings a whole new set of problems. It's sad to think about how out of touch Riot is with the community and the game.
