So what's riot's philosophy these days now?

Back then according to Ghostcrawler it was: Satisfying to play, resonant theme, skill expressive, fair, unique

Because as far as i can see with this shit, it's like ah.....something like this: Fuck fairness, unique with so much overloaded shit, skill expressive with a mechanic that tilts the players and make them rage quit, which makes it satisfying to play. Oh and has a resonant theme which i don't even know what's the point of it anymore.

No really riot, your current philosophy is probably a shit one, and you seriously need a new one.

Ashe no mobility in exchange for good damage and utility in the form of one hard CC and constant soft CC.

Good design

Ekko has high mobility, burst AND DPS damage, utility in the form of hard and soft CC, an ult that let's him deal damage/heal based on positioning.

Bad design

Riot is going for the bad designs lately

Rework random champions and then gut them

"We can't please everyone. Let's just try to please the ones who show us the most love."

Seems to be true.

I finally got a really cool Evelynn skin. I've been begging for this for years. And now I have two!

Riot's Philosophy (By satirical induction):

We appreciate our community content creators! Lets release our own vastly inferior Baron Replays that makes editing videos a comparative nightmare! Then lets ban folks who still want to use the third party program (Don't fix what isn't broken?)

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/97iamx/why_i_hate_making_league_of_legends_videos/

We want role diversity! Go where we tell you to go dammit!

Source: Kayle Morgana KogMaw Skarner

We listen to fans when making reworks! The hell with you Kayle fanboys we're doing this MY WAY!

Source: .... I miss being able to be a guardian angel. Or a champion at all before level 11. Or being properly ranged. I don't need an idiotic unstoppable true damage gimmick, I want to play my favorite angel without needing to bring lube or a pocket jungler!

We don't balance exclusively for pro-play/high elo! Yi/Jax/etc. are only a problem in low elo! How dare the unwashed masses be able to play Sejuani Shen Azir without living in constant fear of nerfs, and sitting at 40% winrates (Sej is at least playable now)!

Source: Sej/Shen patch history for the entirety of season 8. Sej in general post-rework.

I'm Scitzofrenic and so am I! The beatings will continue until morale improves!

I'm not sure they have a cohesive philosophy so much as a barrel of poorly directed good intentions that are making the game quite frustrating at the moment.

They are aware of how bad their philosophy has been and that they need a new one. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/qzzu5y4t-champion-weaknesses-in-2019

The unfortunate thing is that the community also made riot slow down the rate at which it changes stuff so they aren't able to change the problems created by their prior philosophy fast enough.

Their philosophy is not having a philosophy now. Just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

Love that you give 0 proof for any of this. Like you give a description of yas which actually makes no sense since basically every new champions has been pretty fair.

Like what overloaded stuff name them and I bet it's going to be something that's proves your using the word wrong too.
