Riot's war on active items is silly

I don't understand Riot's new philosophy of getting rid of active items as much as possible that seems to have started with DFG. I can understand keeping the game casual friendly but not having active items just makes the game more boring and shallow.

I can understand not wanting to be like the other moba where you can realistically have euls scepter, blink dagger, mekanism, power treads and god knows what else. Yes, that is far too much to manage for most players. But I think you guys should give the player base a little more credit. It's not hard at all in this game to remember to activate locket, ruined king, zhonyas, seraphs, etc. I consider myself a fairly low skilled player (I can only play on the weekends) and even I can remember to hit the number key at least 90% of the time. And adding 1-2 more keys a game does not require faker level mechanics.

You guys are doing your game a disservice by dumbing it down to that extent and just ask Blizzard where that got them.
