I cant stand balance and game design changes being too slow

Just look at these sweet patches: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/V1.0.0.132 http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/V1.0.0.134

God, i remember times patch notes were longer than 5 champion nerfs. Probably riot believes game in a good shape right now. Statistically probably yes. Overall - nope.

As game continues to grow, there are things that just has to be done, but riot no longer thinks about improving their game. They will do things only when it would be complained a lot, and after years of research.

Lots of project were teased, but were never released, or were cancelled after release. Magma Chamber League of Legends Timeline Achievements http://www.pcgamer.com/what-is-league-of-legends-supremacy/

It took 5 years to make changes to the rune system - the only thing i liked from latest news. BUT levels are still limiting new players from getting full rune/mastery pages until lvl 30, and thats is TERRIBLE IDEA. IT ALWAYS WAS.

I joined when league had like 50 champions - Mordekaiser Release. We had 10 champions on free rotation. Its over 130 champions in the game right now, and we still have same 10 champions? Thats not even funny. Funny thing is Riot DOING A RESEARCH right now about adding more champions to the free rotation.

IP gains are so small im not sure how new players are actually dealing with it. They should be getting hextech chest for every level or so to catch up with old players. This makes me think about shitty MMOs kongregate.com keeps badging again and again.

Latest system design is a cashgrab. Hextech mastery is total bullshit, and i dont even need to explain why. Keys are terrible idea. And what annoys me the most - quotes about a "cool way to give people free stuff". Totally not cool.

People with large IP balances still cant spend it on anything except name change. And this problem is also "something on the radar".

Only thing i wish right now is enough determination to finally quit without returning for something like "reworked dominon". I read all news, i re-read old forum posts i saved (sadly only 2013 left, lost my archive with the old phone) and im literally crying. Game with so much potential is fucked up. God save the tencent.

Legit starting to think about quitting league.. The fuck is up with these patches being so slow. They let champs roam completely broken for so long np.

I can understand being annoyed by lack of new content, the comment about seeing more than 5 champs affected confuses me a bit. I wouldn't want riot to change champions or general balance willy nilly for the sake of change, and those changes happen every two weeks as is.

The hextech system imo isn't really a cash grab since next patch they are adding in the champion shards you can buy with IP or RP. That is going to be an IP sink for players (like myself) who actually have all the champs and want to work on things like mastery level 7.

I think the highly rated thread talking about how stubborn riot is put it well. They have stuck to ghings like dynamic queue too closely, while ignoring feedback. I don't think they are terrible, or out to money grab like you claim though.
