Suggested New Year's Resolutions for Riot Games
According to the communities more serious and reasonable suggestions:
1: Buff towers, make getting dove more defensible and pushing them less easy.
2: Lower jungle exp, but of course not enough to put the jungler in the dog house. Keep them more even with laners or we are just going back to S2.
3: Make Pantheon's Q a skillshot, or some other viable solution to prevent it from just being a point and click source of damage every couple seconds like any adc in the game.
4: Buff Doran's shield, give melees, especially top laner melees, an opportunity to trade with ranged champions.
5: Fix minion aggro and minion blocking, it punishes melees far too hard and blocking in particular is just very annoying. Not offering specific solutions.
6: Statikk Shyvana Skin Give the top half of the map some actual meaning and valuable. It would be nice to see the island getting some vacationers from bot lane once and awhile. Either make rift herald valuable or change what happens there entirely.
7: Fix chicken camp and/or improve jungle clearing for non-meta junglers. I miss seeing champions like Kindred, Fiddlesticks and off meta junglers like Leona jungle or Ashe Vayne jungle. I'd like to see clears possible.
8: Fix "?" Ping to say "MIA" instead so it isn't used for toxic purposes. Or at least... we hope it isn't.
9: Add warnings on the champion select if: Jungler doesn't have smite, you are about to ban a teammates pick, and an alert that says directly "YOU WERE AUTOFILLED!" as apparently some people don't realize it until they lock in... somehow.
10: Remove or rework autofill. The system is full of bugs and unfair situations, like getting autofilled after a queue dodge where you had your desired role. The system to begin with is a big anti-fun middle finger to people who play videogames to enjoy themselves, and not pretending it is a career. This system needs to be reworked or removed.
11: Reduce the amount of point and click, assured damage in the game. The amount of abilities that can do 20-100% of your HP bar in one click is too damn high, especially if it has any form of mobility, utility or CC attached to said ability. Few things are more frustrating than having absolutely no way to avoid getting right clicked or smart cast on for your entire HP bar or to suddenly be unable to move because Ryze clicked on you.
12: Start working on no counterplay, not option champions. Let's face it, you can buff and buff and buff champions like Garen, Mordekaiser, Skarner and even my beloved Shyvana through the roof. But as long as these champions are right click lords they will either A: Have too much power in low tiers where people rely on counterplay over strategy, builds and positioning. B: Be trash in top tiers where everyone knows how to play around their limited options. C: Both of the above.
13: Happy new year Riot, sorry if we complain a lot ;P
