I am sorry, but I completely disagree with almost everything you said wholeheartedly.

It gets old so fucking fast. Especially when they fuck with the champions. Most of my old favorite champions have just been bent over and fucked by the long dick of Riot. Katarina fucking useless; Fiora fucking useless; Lee Sin fucking useless; Rengar fucking useless; Gangplank fucking useless. And those are just champs I played; not to mention the massive list of other champs that are basically completely different champs then they were 3 or 4 years ago. When was the last time you saw a Kassadin? How about an Aatrox? Soraka? Olaf? Karthus? Yorick?
Fiora, Lee Sin, and Rengar are all not useless at all, I see all of them at least once every 5 games and can count on one hand how many I have seen do badly, at least out of those that actually try and are not trolling. Katarina is still annoying, but is outclassed by AD assassins mid which I can see why it would make you angry. Gangplank... well, you got me there. He really has not had a place anywhere since his nerf after his rework. (This isn't to say he can't carry or be good, but his kit is weak right now.)
Also, I see Olaf fairly often, especially recently. I also see Karthus and Yorick every once in a while. The other 2 you mentioned are just not in the meta. It is hard to balance 120+ characters around each other and keep every single one relevant.

What the fuck happened to wards? I can't think of anything stupider than the removal of wards; except maybe the complete BUTCHERING OF JUNGLE in season 5. Although that might actually be rivaled by the removal of runes and masteries; which is without a doubt the stupidest of all recent changes.
Why the hell are their berries and flowers littered around the map?
Why is there a giant toad sitting across from blue buff?
Why do towers have retardedly OP armor?
Why is heal such a shit spell?
Where the hell is revive?
What happened to boot enchantments?
What the hell happened to the layout of the forums?
To answer all of these questions in order, as best as I can

Wards are still in the game in the form of trinkets and support items. They made the ward change simply because they and all supports ever thought it wasn't fair that they were the only ones expected to ward, and they were expected to ward EVERYWHERE. This change made it so everyone had wards at the beginning and no one had an excuse to not be warding. You'll be able to tell who is good and bad by looking at their vision score. 9 times out of 10, if someone has a vision score of over 20 as someone that isn't a support, you will find their gameplay to be above par.
-
Why not? Giving the map a new, natural, slightly brighter look made the map a lot more bearable to look at. It is almost downright beautiful if you take the time to notice the small things.
-
Again, why not? The lore of these continents and this world is going to be vastly different than ours, but it is also similar. They thought a giant toad would fit. I suppose it's a bit arbitrary, but I'd say it was a decent choice.
-
SO YOU CAN'T DO A CHEESE 5-MAN TOWER KILL AT LEVEL 1. I was super grateful when they made this change, you have no idea.
-
Heal isn't a shit spell, almost every ADC either takes it, ignite, or barrier (with the first 2 being the most common.) It has a very solid place in this game, and I think its power is just right, if not maybe a little weak because of the cooldown.
-
Revive was the most cheese of all spells. It caused someone to be able to revive immediately at lv 18, and when you are in the enemy base and get an ace just to have the enemy ADC revive and clean up everyone that is low, it feels like the spell is very unfair. We already have teleport, which can get you basically anywhere on the map, and negates any early advantage you get from kills other than the extra gold.
-
Boot enchantments are a mystery to me as to where they went. I always assumed they were just too powerful, or didn't fit into the theme of the game. I am not 100% sure though. You got me here.
-
The layout of the forums has improved dramatically. I don't see what you are complaining about here.
But this is just my 2 cents. Take it how you will.
