How to change this game
- 1st thing I would like to see is a change in the game philosophy around characters and their damage especially for pro play.
Excluding supports, every other champion is an assassin. Bruisers and mages that build tanky can one shot a champion with a round of their abilities. Same goes for adcs late game with few autoattacks. Since damage is equal for all categories of champions players will pick the safest choice which will skew obviously towards ranged champions with cc due to the intrinsic advantage of being ranged and the very strong power that derives from being able to disable enemies during fights.
Overall this leads to a game where poking, playing safe and around healing and cc is the best and only viable strategy. This in turn results in a game which promotes passiveness over aggressiveness and in addition eliminates champions from the viable pool while pushing others to be always played (hey ryze).
What I would like to see changed is not watching a 40 min farm simulator where pros and the best in the scene play the same pool of champions in the safest most boring way possible. Instead I would like pros to play high skilled high rewards champions where they are able to show their mechanical capabilities and skills in intense fighting.
I personally love assassins in general and I would love to see assassins played in the competitive scenes. For the reasons above this is not possible. A solution could be to make a champion do what a champion is supposed to do by retuning their abilities and changing itemizations. The ability to one shot a champion should be a characteristics of assassins only. The other categories should have their characteristic but they shouldn't be able to one shot a champion with one round of their abilities. Tanks should be tanks only, bruisers should excel in long team fights and mages should poke from a distance. But when all champs do the same things you just pick the ones with the most op kit instead of playing champions because of their lore, their spirit, the inspiration or the challenge that you get from them.
- 2nd thing I would like to see changed is the game itself, a revolution.
I have only being playing for few years and the game is the same. I know it's a delicate balance but I'd love to see a League of Legends 2 or just change the game in a revolutionary way. Personally I hate csing and I am probably stuck in my elo cause of that, but I dont play this game for csing, I play this game for fighting because fighting is fun.
Couple of crazy ideas: spawn less minions and make them like mini objectives that do real damage so playing around them is more fun and challenging; change the map completely and make it more an arena like in nexus blitz, odyssey and aram so that fighting is encouraged; add a 3rd dimension (ie up and down); pls add the possibility to queue abilities up.
