Preseason never ended
With how Season 9 has started becoming i cant view it as anything else as if preseason actually never ended. The changes that have come in the regular season that could have been done in the "real" preseason changes the game alot and some players has to find themselves new mains dew to how disruptive some of those changes have been both in jungle and in champion pool. I dont play Akali and that crew of misfits but im feel bad for those people who has had to see their main getting gutted in regular season which could have easily been done in preseason. (urgot and Karthus we dont talk about since they are perfectly balanced i guess)
This is not hindsight this is the fact that it took the balance team these long to implement the steps that was going into for once balancing these problematic champs.
So im looking forward to mid season since im betting thats around the time the real season starts and the approapiate buffs and nerfs has balanced things more out while im guessing our spirit singer and our monstrous crab will still remain untouched.
