Are we trying to make league of legends more like URF?

For part of season 6, all of season 7, and all of season 8, i constantly see reduction in cool down numbers and increases in damage. Why?

Why did they game need to speed up that way?

Everyones ultimate CD went down over the past couple years, a lot of basic abilities on a lot of champions got there CDs reduced.

Like for instance, Kass, why in the flying fuck is his R CD a base CD of 2 now at max rank? Do you realize with any CDR what so ever, he can just mindlessly flash around doing whatever the fuck he wants? He is so damn oppressive. He doesn't even need to run a damage rune he's been buffed so much, he goes fleet foot work just to get out of laning phase and an even kass is an ahead kass.

Where is the counterplay I used to do back in season 7 where engages took longer than 3 or 4 seconds? I'm watching old fucking adrian riven montage videos and damage was so fucking stable back in season 5-6.

Like one of your balance team people openly said they want to over buff people and then hot fix when needed, okay, you overbuffed kass and it's been 3-4 patches ????????????? where's the hotfix. Graves has been prio picked in solo Q all of season 8, where is the hot fix? Kaisa was broken for a long ass time before a hot fix came in, where was the recognition that she needed touching up?

Fucking hire new people

Riot Logic:

"We don't keep URF around 24/7 because players get burned out and leave."

*Makes game more like URF*

Players start to get burned out and leave

"But y tho?"

Apparently the reasoning behind it is, so that games would be faster to keep up with things like Fortnite and flashier for LCS.

If they keep going in this direction, I wonder how much everyone will keep neglecting that they find it "fun" to get one shot at every stage of the game.

Do ultimates have CD nowadays anyway? Use it and it's back by the time you A.Died and came back B.Won fight, farmed a bit, bought and came back

The issue is that riot doesn't actually play league, they playtest, yea, but don't actually play the fucking game on live servers like normal players do.

It's much easier to say "yea let's add this damage and players can do X to deal with it" than actually playing the game and dealing with it yourself on a daily basis.

I'm sorry but this is just straight up not true. Riot literally requires employees, or at least balance team employees, to play league. Many of the main balance team are diamond, so you can't say they don't play the game and only playtest and slap numbers on champions. It's just...false

I dislike how the game is being balanced and the current team's philosophy just like the next board member, but spreading false information like this doesn't help.

I want more justifiable reasoning than a one sentance context for your balance changes, Riot.
