Riot has been removing more good things than adding good things.

In time Riot has been removing more good features and adding less good features. Some examples are:

Removal of Green jungle item Removal of Sightstone Removal of Legacy cursor (wut) Removal of Twisted Treeline (Old but still relevant) Removal of Dominion. Removal of Banner of Command (While quite silly, and occasionally awful or OP it was still good fun IMO) Removal of Revive The dreaded IP --> BE change The honor system overhaul

Debatable between good and not good things 'removed'. Removal of Fun 50+ minute games that were back and fourth Runes reforged Reworking Morde again instead of fixing bugs. Ryze being reworked like 6 times (LOL) 'Rotating' Gamemodes almost never show up anymore

If you know anything I missed please comment them.

Removal of Green jungle item

Overly strong in higher ELOs, heavily abused by Jax + Lee Sin. I'd like to have one more jungle item but this one was just too strong.

Removal of Sightstone

Why was this a bad thing? IMO the current support items accomplish the same thing, are more interactive, and incentivize you to actually complete the quests rather than just buy a sightstone with 800g.

Removal of Legacy cursor (wut)

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/cjxhe8/riot_scruffy_notes_theyll_bring_back_the_legacy/

Removal on Twisted Treeline (Old but still relevant) Removal of Dominion.

Both of these maps were very outdated, very unbalanced, and very unpopular.

I'm not happy about the removal but I also wasn't happy about the state of the modes in the first place. At the very least we should be able to play them in custom games.

Removal of Banner of Command (While quite silly, and occasionally awful or OP it was still good fun IMO)

Disgusting item, glad it's gone.

Removal of Revive

Can't really speak on this one since I didn't have much experience with it.

The dreaded IP --> BE change

What exactly is wrong with it? We got the conversion bonus, it's been proven on multiple occasions that it's easier to gain BE than IP, and we can also get BE from events.

The honor system overhaul

Okay, seriously I see so many complaints about our current Honor system but nobody can ever explain to me why it's bad.

In my multiple years of playing League with the old Honor system, I've never received a single ribbon, banner, or reward of any sort.

The new Honor system? Let's see, I periodically get free key fragments, I get 3 free ward skins, I get the ability to get Medieval Warwick or Twitch, and I get Honor orbs for even more free loot. Also, it's actually possible to get those levels in the first place. Anyone who played with the old Honor system will tell you how unbelievably hard it was to get rewarded from being Honored.

Removal of devs who know how to play the game, and adding... nothing.

Removal of a client that actually works instead of crashing for ½ the team upon entry.

Removal of Green jungle item

Was too unbalanceable

Removal of Sightstone

-1 mandatory item for a role, good.

Removal of Twisted Treeline

Shitty mode with shitty meta, visuals etc.

(Old but still relevant) Removal of Dominion.

Same

Removal of Banner of Command (While quite silly, and occasionally awful or OP it was still good fun IMO)

Yeah, good fun rightclicking fking cannon for a minute because you are not AD champion.

The honor system overhaul

Because stacking honors that do nothing is much better than getting at least some bonuses, right?

Removal of Fun 50+ minute games that were back and fourth

They are still here

Runes reforged

Expensive runes, same choice every game(especially because you couldn't change them in pick stage), boring +1AD stats.

Reworking Morde again instead of fixing bugs.

They are fixing bugs AND reworking champions, you see?

Ryze being reworked like 6 times (LOL)

If it takes another 6 reworks for him to become fun and balanced, then its ok for me.

Removal of mana potions...
