Dear Riot, from Rock.

Dear Riot,

First of all, I’m not an English native speaker, so I’m sorry for my english, in any cases. I’m from Thailand, but I never join Thai LOL server, because I have been playing this server from the beginning and I have friends in the server. Some comes and goes, but yet I feel very bounded to this server and community, that’s why I’ll keep on playing this server even though my pings is alway 250+.

I’d say that I’m not competitive player. I don’t play ranked often, only at the end of the season, just to keep myself in Silver. You know, to get the border in the game. Haha.

For almost 4 years, I have been having fun and such a good time. You guys gave me so many good times. Let me recall that. When it was season 1 and you gave us players Kayle skins for being part of the game, you were so kind. When it was season 2, you removed Fortify and everyone went mad, yet still it was a good memory, and I can talk about that with any players all the time. Also when you furnished Summoner's Rift with Halloween and snowy preps, that was awesome. You gave us Dominion, and it was pretty fun (at a time.) The remake of stealth for Evelynn and Twitch was pretty well-tuned. The first time, when Darius was released, that champion has a recall animation, followed by his twin, Draven. God, that was good times.

I also want to mention Elise lore, was epic. Pulsefire Ezreal is incredible. Poros are cute, I love them. Cinematic trailers and teasers are just WOW, you made my nerd brain exposed.

A lot of things that you guys have been making for me, as a player, out side of the gameplay has been incredibly good. But eventually, it all comes to gameplay.

My favorite season is season 4. Where everything was balanced, easy to understand, un-frustrating to play as and against. Then there came season 5.

Season 5 by far, for me, is the worst season. At any point of time, there must be something that is out of control. Like Smite rework, at first it sounded very cool, but in-game you can't make all of them pretty equal. Meta shifts too often by your balance changes. First was Chilling smite was OP for top lane, then Challenging smite on Warwick or Yi. Then Cinderhulk made tanks the strongest role in the game, top laners took it too. Then now Sated Devourer, on almost every auto-attack oriented junglers. You just literally made skills plays into right click plays. And also things you are trying to do with Magnus and Runeglaive, are pretty messed up. I don't want to say this but please, Riot, get your shit together.

Move on to Rework and Balancing. Veigar reworks problem slowly faded out as the time passes by. He still has a problem. While you were trying to remove target shot from many champion, like Veigar and Ryze. You added more mobility to the game. (Ahri Q, I thought her ult has enough mobility) Riven still can be super mobility without using resource, or Kalista or Zed. I'm trying to handle and get used to all these things. Trying for a long time)

Why did you think Ryze, Ashe and Tristana needed reworked more than some jnpopular champs like Yorick or Poppy or Kalista and Riven toxic plays are very often addressed.

Riot, I love you and LOL. I don't want to feel not fun playing this. Yes, I still have some fun but not every games. But sometimes gameplay doesn't deliver. I really hope that you know what you are doing, and make this season as great as other seasons.

From, Rock, 4-year-ish player that loves League of Legends.

PS. Sorry again for my English.
