Daily reminder that the game has been in free fall ever since they hired Ghostcrawler

People, really only gamers for some reason, don't want to hear it but this is just fact at this point.

From keystones: -warlords still working on minions and completely warping the way lanes play out cause of the increased sustain -damage powercreep through the fucking roof -their answer to the damage powercreep through the fucking roof? CotC HAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHA, this is Riot mending a cut they inflicted on themselves with another cut, really textbook riot design

to every single "class" update, none of which have accomplished much of anything, balance or diversity wise

We've had an ADC update: -you feeling that agency/fantasy yet ADC players?
-meta pretty much dominated by ADCs that are either 1) not even ADCs but straight up mages like the abomination that is Jhin or 2) CertainlyT's overloaded rework of Cait

"Juggernauts" w/e the fuck those are: -Skarner just as never played as pre rework -Garen just as never played as pre rework -Morde hjahahahaahahah -Darius only "success", if only because Darius was already popular pre rework so I have no idea what the point of this update was

Mage update: -Zyra turned from "wow nice damage supp" to "wow it's like I'm playing against Panth, constantly getting stat checked in the face, but he has boobs and goes bot) -Malz, at this point I'm 90% certain the mage update existed solely to turn Malz into a clunky mess of a self fulfilling prophecy (Malz is just a stupid press r bot, so lets rework him so HE REALLY IS NOTHING BUT A STUPID PRESS R BOT support hahahahaha) -I'm not going on because i'm going to get progressively more disappointed, but the jist is they made almost all the mages less intuitive to play but not significantly changing their playrates or winrates or even the perceived frustrations against them (Anivia, Syndra? RYZE? lol), so what was the purpose other than to give rioters an excuse to expend resources and pretend like their job matters?

and the assassin update: -talon went from never played to you guessed it never played -LB went from an assassin everyone hated except LB players to an assassin everyone hates including LB players + some wave clear (lol) -Kat is now just a woman Yasuo, she either outplays you or herself and exists purely as a masturbation tool for the crowd that would produce montages -Khazix same champion but now you just can't see him, great, not as much of a failure as others but he retains his old playstyle which I'm assuming was the point of the rework so I just don't get it -Rengar...I just can't, whens the next rework coming?

to what I call the objective rework" -useless as fuck towers that other than make the game way more snowball, completely fucks over bot lane as a result -RNG bs dragon -I'm going to force this scenario down your throat no matter what Baron

and now their one big play to balance out the absurdity that was the S6 jungle is....plants

You're right on everything

but i still downvote you because ghostcrawler has nothing to do with this, the only bad idea he brought to the game was first blood tower

edit: and DARIUS REWORK WAS FUCKING AMAZING, like the dude who did this was a real genius putting a delay on his Q is something everyone could have think about but shifting his kit to only be good at 5 stacks while giving darius the ability to get 5 stacks with ulti is extremely smart because it balances darius in 1v1 and giving him a heal only on the blade, while nuking his attack speed

the rework was the most genius rework i ever saw

i stil don't see how gc is related to this from a design perspective his view is that melees are boring, and ranged characters are what makes the game flashy

but he still didn't do anything related to those reworks
