It is not season 2 or patch 4.10 but...

6.9 is an overall improvement over what the season has been so far and I am glad for that

It is nice that warmogs actually works in more builds even if it lost 50 health.

It is nice that tanks often have to build 2 MR items to really be able to call it good.

I hope mages are back and this is not a short lived experimental phase that the player bases goes through with every patch.

Other then a couple things like Malz being too strong (hotfix incoming or something like that) and vel'koz ult's true damage being a bit over the top (more caught me by surprise then anything having one do 800 true damage to me when i had about 150 MR which I though would save me but I was wrong) this patch has restored a fair amount of hope in the game for someone who literally spent 3 months away from the game because it was just not enjoyable having ADC + tank meta.

Dragons matter within reason, Rift herald matters within reason, while the game is not as good as season 2 or patch 4.10 it is at least in a place where I feel like I can enjoy more games then I detest playing.

Sorry Anivia and Vlad mains but I will gladly take the sacrifice of you having a bad time a little while in the name of the game being more enjoyable after months of it feeling underwhelming.
