Riot I can tell you're losing players.

It doesn't take a genius to know that because of the changes to ADC and how a large portion of your players were ADC, that your game is dying. Every game now, someone usually doesn't pick ADC and when they do it's usually Jhin or Draven.

Also I find it hard to believe the changes to ADC were in your best interest. You nerfed them to push early game damage and forced loyal players to pick other options so that games would end quicker because you still believe games should be over in 20 minutes for some reason. With league that's just not possible unless you increase passive gold income per second.

Anyway. Point is, is that you're losing players because ADC was undoubtedly the funnest role there is. People love the potential to get pentakills and ADC was the most effective at doing such. That's also why people complained about certain assassins 100-0 them with little effort because of item 3147.

For me I will still continue to play, just not as much because league has been a huge part of my teenage life back when I was a junior in high school and because I like seeing what you have to offer as far as releasing champions, however I doubt I'll be spending anymore money for skins and such. I don't support a game that ditches it's old players because the company wants to keep things "fresh"

Lastly the new rune system sounded good in theory back then, but the old rune and mastery system gave people diversity. It was seeing how people built their champions. Whether it be scaling runes or flat early damage runes.

Well I don't really know what else there is to say. Bot lane has diversity now and there's nothing wrong with diversity, but alienating an entire role was the wrong approach in my opinion.

Edit: It's not just ADC's. Tanks are starting to become useless as well.

Well if there were that many numbers of threads then that should tell you something.

Yeah, that nothing is happening. People have been making the exact same threads since season 2. Sorry if I don't take seriously any threads that say the exact same thing as every other thread. Specially when the argument is full of assumptions

Reading this post gave me brain cancer. If they game was really dying in season 2 then nobody knew what it was, it has not been dying ever since then. Some people are stupid but there is probably a reason way more of these exist now.

Whoah there buddy, that's a lot of assumptions. How can you be so sure you know the why of each change Riot has made?

I listen to streamers talking about their friends and also from what I see going on in game. I play a lot, and starting to come off it anyway.

So it could seem like trends are headed a certain way, but you still don't know Riot's specific motives for things. Be careful about what you present as facts in your post. Inferences are not the same as facts.

Funnest is not a word - or at least a good word.
