Actually, I'm having fun with the changes

Played as a top, as mid, as a jungler, as a support even, and i had fun. I can see that there is a lot of things that needs to be fixed (Yasuo, Pantheon etc. + the Mastery of the 15% heal on crit etc. etc.) but i like a lot of the new options that will be interesting in the future. I know i will get downvoted to oblivion, but... Riot employees, if you are reading, not all of us are crying when you have clearly said you are gonna tune this out in the next patches, keep going! Opens the umbrella for the downvotes

Been having fun as Sion top with grasp of the undying. Not so much with Pantheon, but I need to relearn things.

I just love the resolve tree.

And I enjoy the new Graves. I like how his Q can be used to punish positioning. They'll have to tone his damage down, which I'm fine with.

I just love the increased pace of the gains and the higher rewards for aggressive early play. Now the games that last 35+ minutes are actually close games and worth playing that long. Compare that to least season where teams win in 20 minutes and take another 20 minutes to actually destroy the nexus.

I relay like what they did to the mastery system. I feel like i can actually customize my Champions now instead of just 21/9/0 or 9/21/0. Ya they will need to do some balancing but the keystones are way cooler then the old+5% dmg

So good job on that rito [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Personally I'd like to see some of the changes to AP Items rolled back, as I feel it was largely unnecessary and when coupled with the AD Items changes (and new items) really took a lot of power away from primarily AP Champions.

Aside from that (and the more popular agreements of Yasuo being stupid, Graves broken damage) I think the patch was fairly solid, though I will admit I did like the Time To Kill of the Tank Meta a little more than the current one.

I agree, a whole lot of people crying and whining. Also, I don't feel like the sustain form that keystone is as huge and game changing as people are making it out to be. Of all the people that get the benefit of it fast, Pantheon is the one that gets it fastest with his last hits. People think it is every crit as well, there is a cooldown and I feel Panth uses it the best cause of those last hits. Yasuo takes time to get to the point of critting, and even then his crits are reduced damage so his sustain is also reduced (and it is already pretty low to begin with, 15% is a pretty low amount of healing for a crit on a cooldown).

I am liking the fact the people don't know how to deal with champions anymore, you have no idea how much damage an unpopular champion is going to do yet. The chaos is nice because it means the champion pool of viability will expand. I feel as though some of these keystones will make different team comps more viable than before. For example, Deathfire touch is going to bring back more pokey ap mids rather than league of insta-bursters. And obviously there is a lot more.

Mainly, I feel like people are in an overly whiney mood because what they thought was how the game played is now being changed. Riot is forcing meta changes and enhancing different playstyles. They also don't want 45 minute games and people seem to hate that (I personally am ok with it since gold gen has also increased). It seems the majority of players posting on the boards were static in their ways and want it to always be like that. The game has to change or else it will get old and get shelved. Good for Riot for making such large changes and trying to relay to the people where they want to go with it, even through this seemingly large ocean of salty comments.

I agree, I think the changes are pretty awesome so far.

Im sure they will fix the outliers soon enough.

I can deal with most of it, just give me green wards back or make the trinket a little better. Outside of that it's all whatever, nothing I won't get used to like every season.

Panth with the free sustain on last hits... damn...

I'm having a lot fun on support zyra. Jungle is just not that fun due to the weird changes. I don't really want to play mid or top due to the wild yasuo and tyr.

I am having plenty of fun as well.

But I know for a fact that it is at my opponents expense 9/10 times because there really is little they can do against me, especially if I get so much as a single kill during the laning phase.

Seriously it is downright insane when you can push down a lane and get inhib turret and inhib before 20 minutes.

I had a ton of fun with Zed mid so far. That until yasuo came in [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I don't get what the point of releasing such strong changes onto live, and then nerfing them later so they're balanced is.

A lot of these changes have me wondering how they made it off PBE in the first place. My theory is that Riot is purposely breaking certain champs for a few weeks just to keep the game fresh/exciting.

There are a lot of bugs out there (as expected when preseason hits) so I'd say to at least wait for them to be fixed (Rito be fast though).

Right now I see a lot of guys playing mages mid (I'm one of those) and I'm having really good matches so far. One thing that got me worried were wards but I see that after you reach the upgrade level it isn't that bad.
