Please, don't defend Riot in preseason just like last year

People who were claiming that it was ok for the whole preseason to be unbalanced just encouraged Riot to keep it like this for Season 8, and look at what it did: it was arguably the worst season yet, a minor fiasco at best for some and the last season for a LOT of people at worst.

This year, if something is wrong about the preseason, don't act like a shield between the balance team and the community: the complains should hit them full blast if we want to be sure actual balancing is made, or else Season 9 will go just like this one and we will have to wait once again to the next pre-season to have a chance for rebalancing.

This is a chance we cannot miss: preseason is the time to keep Riot from degrading the game even more and the time to force them to make actual improvements and balancing. If you want to hit us with some optimism like "Even if the preseason is garbage, the actual season will be awesome" just like last year, just please keep it to yourself. Its not because its not welcome on the boards: its because Rito has the very weird tendency to privilege the minority who enjoys the game instead of the majority who complains about it in their balancing decisions if it means they have to work less on it.

I'm not saying positivity = bad and complaining = good. What I'm saying is that if a lot of people complain, its because there's a reason behind it, and that reason should be looked at by Riot instead of being blinded by people who encourage them to go even further into their questionnable balance decisions.
