So first off wow at its early stages was fun then around cata i believe or maybe even wotlk they started to cater to the casuals...now wow is nothing more but a farm game with twitter selfies and cookie cutter talents...riot is reducing the masteries, they added timers for all camps, and now they are adding an attack range indicator circle for adcs? im really lost and yeah just jumping into a game once a week and having all of this stuff is fun and easy but for the people that play league alot i feel like its getting to casual? anyone else share same thoughts?

Wait on judging masteries until THEY ACTUALLY RELEASE IT. Keeping mental notes of camp timers doesn't add anything interesting to gameplay. Having to guess made for less fights/objectives contested. They've had an attack range indicator for adcs FOR A LONG TIME. Pretty sure pressing A does just that.

No I don't feel that it's becoming more casual. Becoming harder to balance, yes. Casual no. If anything, much of the changes add for more fights to occur. And it's not like this is the only MOBA in existance. Ultimately, as for every change, wait until they actually release it to make a judgment call. People said Fiora and Mordekaiser would suck, and look at them now.

This isn't the first time masteries have changed, and it surely won't be the last. The ones that are live now were far better than any previous set, and I'm pretty sure it's the same people making the new ones as the current ones.

I'm not sad or mad at all, I'm just plain excited.

Also League isn't WoW. They are not even the same type of game. If you wanted to compare them you'd have to try a whole lot harder than you did, and to be completely constructive you'd have to contrast as well.

I think that the game will not be fun anymore if they keep changing the game THIS much. Like Graves and Quinn i don't think will be that good. I think that if they removed them from the game then it wouldn't mater that much, they will not be good.

Angry Birds is for casuals.

This is not a casual game.

It never has been.

The new Masteries are a massive improvement since they're aren't just a derpy pile of stats anymore. There was a huge topic not too long ago where players suggested lowering the number of mastery points and concentrating the power into a smaller number of more impactful choices with actual game-play involved.

Seems Riot listened.

As they changed the masteries, which I'm kinda curious how that pans out, I'm more concerned with the simple fact that they are removing Mana potions and Stealth wards from the shop as a whole.
