Sad for the direction of the game.
I would almost say i played this game 3-4 years straight, a lot of good changes and bad ones. Now i love this game and i'm not trying to bring riot down but bring some opinions from a player that is too addicted to the game. I started in season2, the game had a variety of items and more complexity and strategy to the game but throughout the seasons slowly.. "The change i hated most was the nerf in total movement speed in the game on all champs... you feel like a snail now going across the map and limits good kiting anymore until you buy a ton of items.. not one.. a ton that helps movement.. i noticed Riot dumbing down the item selection process for a wider audience base which is understandable cause it's a company trying to make as much money as it can. trinkets come standard with players now, recommended build is hardly different anymore.. oh look another ie, cause it's like the only thing to build, there's no options.. it's more of a lack of freedom and i predict as the game goes on.. there will be a increase of recurring players from other tiers that played in the past and less subscriptions of new players as the game goes on.. The community system is just horrible now but it always has been, the pinging system is a great feature but potential for spamming which is annoying and makes the game more of a turn off now.., it also made players lazy in keeping an eye on the map and positioning. You can't even hardly make custom builds for a champ anymore i mean really, that was one of the joys of the game to go it a bit different and it made it a "strategy game to a better degree" but now the lack of items and consolidation of items is preventing that.. it's what Mobafire was all about.. Armor pen is useless about now rune wises.. i mean why have runes if they hardly make a difference,, another lack of more freedom in selection is the new masteries.. pick one side or the other... "riot: we don't care just pick one cause it's more simple for you" the game as you should be able to see the amount of champs that are played variety wise now is highly unbalanced.. i knew it was coming with all the additions and everything getting simplified to one click gaming.. I'm very sad how this game has evolved.. there is much more i would like to point out and discuss but let's start with this. Please share you discussions and opinions, thank you.
