First: Take away Hybrid items: no longer allowing for unique builds and counter builds Forcing a meta builds and non adaptive play.

Second: Remove all the Unique Jungle smite buffs The Jungle is now flat and doesn't allow for unique jg paths and buff game play. Forcing a Jg meta. Now the jungle is boring and lame.

Third: Removal of Turing runes and spell trees (I forget what they were called) into a specific page. drastically limits creativity and how people play champs. I've ran with one rune page since season 2 and now I'm forced into limited avenues and metas.

Seriously riot what is with your war on creativity? Is it maximizing numbers for the esports? 90's Basketball was so much better to watch because it was so raw, now it is lame with all these number technique crunching athletes. Why are you trying to take all the fun out of League? The creativity was the redeeming quality and kept the toxic community at bay, now there really isnt anything but another crap moba with forced metas.

What is with your war on fun?

This part really confuses me. With the old system you COULD run one page on a champion for 5 seasons, but with the new system I can legitimately find at least 3-4 viable options for ANY given champion, and several ways to tweak those options further. I'm not seeing how an adjustment from minor number bonuses to fairly major strategic choices is anything but INCREASING player options and player empowerment.

Yeah, I can't even find a rune page that would even work with Singed Karthus Vladimir
