Worst season i have started to participate in. Gameplay has taken a drastic turn for shit with the new runes pages. No clear paths for champions, to much cdr, ms, and summoner CD, which makes it hard to determine times for all the cool downs. Makes me sad to know i have played this game for 6 years, had so much time, and money invested in the game, and then it goes to complete shit. RIOT can i have my money back for 6 years worth of playing this game to have to end up like this.
Chermorg1 votesPart of the thing is that the game is not designed to be like chess where you know your enemy's entire arsenal. In chess, for example, you know where all their pieces are, you know how each piece can move, and if you're a pro chess player you probably know a few of the common moves that may come next.
In League, you don't know where the enemy is, you don't know what their item build will be, and you don't know what their masteries/runes will be - this adds an element of strategy to the game - it's pretty obvious if someone has the summon airey mastery, but what about their others? Do they have the 5% CDR? Do they have kleptomancy and so randomly get potions in lane? Do they get one biscuit every 4 minutes? Do they get a burst of AS after they damage you?
It adds more higher level thinking and higher level strategy to the game.
