@Meddler can you answer this one little question?

I was looking at the Zyra update thread and the two big takeaways of it for me was:

1. Zyra's midlane and teamfights are getting screwed

2. She's getting a minigame based on the weakest and least interesting part of her kit.

So here's my question: why is it when you guys rework a champ, one of the first things you do is ask yourselves "where can we give this champ an annoying %$#! minigame to play"? Why does every champ seem to have to have some bloody minigame these days or you won't release them to the public? Why are you guys taking the weakest and least interesting part of Zyra's kit and forcing a minigame based on that on us?

If I wanted a minigame to play, I'd just pull out my smart phone. There's plenty of minigames there and they don't cost me elo when I screw them up.

Aussie's got his star dance mechanic. Jhin and Graves have to worry about ammo. Poppy has both her shield which always flies off in the wrong bloody way when you need it most and trying to land the follow up damage on her Q (you killed her assassin aspect and you gave her 2 bloody minigames). Skarner gets to play dominion all game long... You guys just murdered the dominion map because people didn't play it. Fiora has that bloody passive I hate and it's linked to her ult (I miss her fun ult). Gankplank has the barrel chaining minigame. Soraka has her minigame of hide behind the ADC all match long and this new change is probably going to punish her more for trying to come out long enough to Q. Sona got the tag the allies minigame which gave her a good winrate but left her feeling weak in spite of being pretty good. Miss Fortune got her mini game of juggle your targets. Nidalee went from spamming spears to the kitty combo.

Can you guys please stop it with the mini games, especially on champion reworks? I mean I get the need for a few champs to have them. But it's getting ridiculous that every champ is getting one. I mean if there were 3 things I can directly link to me not playing as much as I used to it was

1. Too many new champs that don't interest me come out in a row.
2. Champs I used to love get some weird ass minigame that makes them less fun to play.
3. Champs I used to love get pushed into some totally random new role in the game.

I mean it's getting to the point where I don't want to get invested in any champion because frankly I've got no clue what that champion is going to be like 6 months from now. This would be less of a problem if I was playing mainly newer champs but the last new champ I got was Jinx... I'm considering kindred and I'll get aussie, but that's a pretty big gap. I mean why should I play Evelynn when in six months you take her from a stealthy, blue-skinned, BDSM, fanservice-babe, melee assassin to a non-stealthy, other-colored, overdressed, prudish MALE, ranged tank... with a minigame?
