With point and click champions dominating worlds again,,,

There should be more of an incentive to play skillshot champions, Currently all they offer is slight range advantage the ratios are often lower. Its become pretty clear that teams dont want to run the risk of missing thresh hooks etc ( rendering those vhamps useless) and that ever so prevalent point and click masters such as alistar syndra malzahar and maokai are often preferred. There is little drawback to playing point and click every time and massive drawback to playing skillshot champions. Skillshots can always be made useless by flash while point and clicks zone enemies until they have to walk into click range if they want to contribute to fights and cant be flashed away from. If riot wants skilshot champions to be remotely viable they have to increase hitboxes on various champions else we will NEVER see anyone play ziggs etc. Every champion at worlds apart from adc relies on point and click abilities. Ryze, syndra, alistar, maokai, malzahar or aoe that is impossible to miss.

Welcome to modern gaming, where we reward incompetence in order to make the most money off of lazy whales who can't be bothered to lift a finger to win.

Ain't F2P great? So glad the gimme generation enabled it. ^^

Because the character/game design totally has everything to do with the business model used.

Path of Exile is F2P, and it isn´t easy at all. Star Trek Online is F2P, and its endgame parts are anything but easy, especially if PvE or PvP are what you go for.

The business model doesn´t affect how the game is balanced, improved or just overall changed. The business model simply means that you´ll be paying for it monthly, yearly, paying a single time, which is the case of CSGO, or not paying at all, which are the cases of League, PoE and STO.

But hey, if you wanna keep on preaching that the business model Riot used in League is the devil of gaming like a cult leader who is clearly out of his mental faculties, that´s your choice. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, regardless of how idiotic it is.

Okay, so you understand the basic principles of F2P, right? You make money based off of how many extra things people buy, and the base game is irrelevant, as it makes no money for you.

So, this means that you put all of your effort and resources into the source of income, which in League's case is the skin / new champ teams. Lore, balance, programming quality, all that is irrelevant, and only the bare minimum effort will be put into it -- just enough to keep the whales happy and spending.

In the case of balance, there's also a bit more going on. See, perfect balance is stagnant and stale, there are no FOTM champs, and everyone just plays whoever they enjoy playing. Rito could just make skins for the more popular champs, but that's not really super lucrative. So, what do they do? They create FOTM waves, and make certain champs incredibly strong so that they become stupidly popular, and then Rito releases skins for that champ / group of champs.

They make money in two ways that way: First is that they make money from people buying the champ with RP, and maybe the older skins for them. Second is the new skin for their newly-popular champ they have.

So, yeah, the business model does change how a company operates, and how they treat their game. To pretend otherwise is just idiotic. But then, I'm just a crazy, evil cult leader. Not like a good portion of the gaming community demonized F2P when it was just starting to become a thing or anything. Nah.
