Love letter to Riot
Ill start this off by saying I love league of...... what ever this is now.
(You)Riot has let this new patch out way to early, you were not prepared. From what I've read and watched and played through, everyone that had their own mind knew that the new rune system was broken in PBE, and you failed to pay attention. You just let it rip, and that's how its been for all players everywhere in any rank, RIP or win. Feast or Famine, not a new concept for league since you've lost touch with balance years ago. (snowball or lose, a weak attempt at making matches shorter)
Riot if you wanted balance why not just remove masteries and runes completely, deal with base stats alone? You guys cant manage balance when you throw new variables in every 2 weeks. The only thought is, you don't want balance. Setting up the meta for LCS? watchers buy more LCS stuff. I get it and understand. I myself even bought a Gnar hoodie! (and I love it)
Riot if you wanted to set players up for their play styles and have all the options you brag about in your vids, why have you set a meta of broken champs, with OP new runes set ups. You are perpetuating the problem instead of solving it, or even attempting to patch or even make small changes over time to make it better. You have turned into money grabbing customer screwing assholes. Pardon my French. Just as bad as Facebook games.
I bet there's more then one person that has looked up "Pros views on the new runes" and most will find a few cheesy vids about how they can work. But the pros cant talk about how horribly bad they are or you would cut there funds. So we get no honest expert opinions.
I know that this is what preseason is for. Testing out all the new changes, but you fools have made way to many changes over the course of a DAY!(when the patch dropped) there's no way you will ever fix it all before the season starts. You tried to invent a new game when yours is 10 years old. Balance, fix, events, that's where your money is now, your pro league on e-sports wont last. Your glory time is over stop screwing your players.
I cant blame you for wanting to make the game fresh and new, that's good business. But if you alienate your existing player base that refer new players and press them to play with each other then what do you have? #ADeadGame even with yours 30million players

P.S. - Oh your BE system is shit. I have plenty more to say but it didn't seem on topic. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
YES I gave no stats or vids or links to back this up. Unless your one of those mains that are OP this season you know I'm stating the truth.
