Are we going to get ANY clarification from Riot on damage???

You acknowledged damage being too high last season (albeit, about 6 months too late) but then did virtually nothing to reduce damage in preseason, adding more burst damage in new runes. You have the prerogative to balance the game however you want, I would just like to know, as the consumer.

So, can we just state things clearly? Will damage be reduce or do you want the current bursty, high damage playstyle? It's really a pretty simple question, and I'm very confused why a clear answer is so difficult to get.
