Just feel like spreading a little bit of love for the gameplay devs.
Whenever I load the frontpage I often see people criticising balance decisions, new champions, reworks etc. but never some positive feedback. Mistakes are easier to recognize than success and players who actually like the state of the game or a change Riot made aren't going to post it on the boards, so I thought I might aswell do it.
I mean just look at the problems the game had when preseason started and how many of them they've fixed already:
- No more "ADC in 2k17 LuL", adcs actually seem like they're performing well atm
- Lethality was too weak, then too strong, now in a perfect spot
- Assassin Meta is over, now they're back in line
- Same with tank Meta
- List of champions who were OP or above average at some point and received nerfs that put them back in line
and probably some more that I can't think of atm - On the other hand, some champions who were in a somewhat weak spot and got decent ( or less worse ) again after some buffs
and more - Nerfed some damage you gain from masteries and items and as a result finally stopped some of the damage creep.
And while they are some champions that rose to be too good again in the current meta and there are still a few that are arguably too weak, there are either already some changes for them on the PBE or there will be in a few weeks.
That's basically all I wanted to say. GJ you guys!
