Can 2020 be the year of back to counterplay
I've been thinking about this for awhile and it feels like for too long riot has been ignoring or willing to sacrifice counterplay in new champs and reworks. I'm sure riot is busy planning for the next season right now and it'd be really great if riot went back to designs which remembered that there is another player laning against any particular champ and they'd like to have fun in game too.
Counterplay is kind of like a golden rule "don't create any skill for yourself that you would't want the other guy to use on you." Take Bloodstained, everyone who made a boss in that game had to be able to beat it with a dagger and without taking damage for it to dtay in the game. Counterplay ensures a level playing field for everyone in the game; it keeps the game fair and fun.
Does anyone besides pepperidge farms remember back when games where supposed to be fun? Anyone?
Riot, please bring back counterplay as a key design restraint.
