Riot 5.22 gameplay appreciation thread (Official)
There are many people that consider this patch to be a colossal failure, these people have probably never played during a pre-season before when Riot implements meaningful changes that will become a major focus during the upcoming season.
I find that the changes were excellent and a great sign of things to come, here are a few things I appreciate during the most recent update
- Buffs across the board for the entire support class
- Warding to be more evenly split across the entire team rather than hinging almost entirely on a single character
- Keystone masteries in general
- Reworking several gimmicky items into practical ones (Ex: The Dark Seal)
- Greater emphasis on team coordination rather than individual skill
- Encouraging alternative playstyle on characters (Goes hand in hand with several points mentioned)
- etc.
In general I very much liked this patch, there are obviously a few kinks that need to be ironed out (DAT YASUO) but for the most part, I find that it was a great improvement that will continue to yield positive results.
Come at me haters.

. The blue trinket and vision wards are easily taken out if you try to deep ward, so it seems like the map is darker now.
