The year I finally quit the game.

Ya great update riot. Turrets die in actual seconds to a team now. Why do we even have them anymore? They are paper thin and after a team groups they actually just melt. If this isn't changed I'm just going to quit the game. Riot clearly has forgotten their fanbase and what made the game good to begin with. Slow skillful play to show who was best. Now its about fast play and more team and map stuff. Fine that's cool too. But the reduced health on turrets and the buff to soul stealer and stuff like that. No. Just no. Its sad it pushes the game to be way to fast and just unfun. It feels like turrets get shred without a second thought now. Ya in the patchnotes they say ohmwrecker is still an item but is it anymore? Turrets are gone so fast you don't even have to consider it as an item. This season promises to be the most poor yet if they don't see the faults that lie here. I know that a lot of people are going to hate on this since its day one. But really when you see both teams able to kill a tower without the slightest problem regardless of who is ahead and behind its sad. I will wait for the season to start properly before I actually choose to quit but if these changes aren't properly addressed I'm out. I won't watch a game I loved be ruined even farther by a company who's grown to fat for their own good.

there shouldn't be a 18k gold lead at 20 min. there shouldn't be 20 min games that aren't surrenders. there shouldn't be a lot of things. but it pisses me off the most that they came up with all the ideas and didn't test them enough. sure the PBE cant do a billion games like the live servers, but Christ listen to the pros and how they comment on the changes. the PATCH video had xpecial and he looked so uncomfortable about the changes and he really didn't want to talk for fear of bad mouthing and trashing on the patch.

I get it I understand fresh gameplay keeps players and brings new ones in. but to go to these extremes makes me worried it will go down south FAST like WoW did. they are implementing similar changes that doomed WoW.

Turrets are big pink wards that if killed, give alot of gold.

Who cares if you are ahead or behind? A team that's behind with a Tristana = lol your turret's gone. Where's the skillful play in that? Where's your "if I win lane, I should win game" now? If you die even once to a team with Trist or Jinx = gg all non-inhib turrets in a lane.

Turrets actually die quickly to grouped teams? Good. Maybe people will actually learn to rotate instead of farming jungle camps or fucking around in a side lane with no objectives to pressure.

I'd prefer towers be EXTREMELY difficult to get but provide a greater reward. That would really encourage cooperation, rotations, and ward coverage. The game in its current state really doesn't reward tactics, its all push all the time and group as early as possible.

It's the preseason,they are doing some more risky stuff balance-wise,they'll probably try to fix it before the next season actually starts,I doubt(or at least hope) they themselves are happy about the outcome.

Slow skillful play is not what this game is built around at all. It's about milliseconds and quick decision making.
