League has changed too many things that shouldn't be changed

Hello,

I played league since season 2. During all those years i usually played at least 1-2 games per day and never get bored of it. When riot began to completely rework the core aspect of the game things began to change. They removed boot enchants, many items and began to rework mindlessly characters destroying their core identity and making new yasuo like monsters that require perma bans in ranked. One example of character loosing its core identity swain (beatrice form removed). YOu have sion that lost his undead visual aspect and the visuals souls from his old ult... Why ? cause in china deads are a super sensitive subject (ask yourself why wow wasn't allowed in china for many years...). Now that chinese are a big part of the community their diktat is important for riot.

Not all the things they did were bad however if you remove identity aspects of the game it losts its charm... The games are now focused on the fast aspect of fighting ,fast combos kills and fast gameplay. League wasn't meant to be played like this some years ago. It was a game about strategy fighting. It wasn't the most skilled that would win but the smartest and that made a huge difference in terms of gameplay.

RIot adapted themselves with the competition aspect of the game because many people think that only competitive games are fun which isn't really the case. E-sports attracted new players that are only interested in competition and skill, but less in strategy or have fun aspect of it.

I can say it, most of players that played league for years think the game is getting less fun and many play less games. I had arount 14 friends playing league since season 2-3 and 4. They never stopped until season 7. at season 7 only 8 still playe the game. Now we are only 5 and we usually played at least 7-10 games per week... Now we only play 3 times a week when we can play together...

We wont have fun playing it solo as in the past.

So saying that league of legend is in a better state than in the past it's lying and saying that they didn't lost many players is lying too.

I recommend riot to really care about this... Soon or later new games will come to steal your players base : sea of thieves, fortnite etc... many more will come. and when all the competitors will leave you'll need to recover your old playerbase.... I just wonder how you will do...
