In regards to the most recent video from New001

Thank you. I'm glad somebody at Riot finally RESPONDED about feelings towards the current meta. I'm also very happy you realize that the amount of change you've thrown into just this season has thrown the game so out of wack that I'm still not sure if it'll ever fully recover. I was very on board with this video until you said you wouldn't be doing as many large scale changes in the middle of the season anymore, and here's where I think the message from the players to Riot got skewed.

Players don't hate large scale change. They hate TOO MUCH large scale change. Lets use the tank update as an example.

Your goal was simple. Increase tank durability while nerfing tank damage. Ignoring the arbitrary nerfing of tank items to accomplish this end, you also buffed Marksmen during that very same update, not even allowing the tank update time to settle. What happened? Marksmen became way stronger than they should have been and all tanks who weren't the overpowered Maokai, Sej, and Zac reworks become worthless (Galio would be buffed to their status soon). What did we learn here? We learned that the tank update shouldn't have been item changes AND major reworks, it should have been one or the other (WITHOUT the kneejerk Marksmen buffs). Slight QoL changes would have been alright with item changes, but having the major reworks AND the item changes AND the Marksmen buffs was way too much, and it showed. The meta was destroyed and became polarizing for everyone. You either liked it or hated it. There was no inbetween.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't take your failure to do large scale change well recently as a sign that the players don't like large scale change. Just dial it back a bit. Change one thing a lot or change a couple things a little. Don't change a lot of things a lot.
