It's not even fun when you are winning. Almost every game is a landslide. Dragons are worthless. Towers are made out of paper. Death timers are insane. Trinkets are garbage. Can't purchase green wards anymore. AP nerfed across the board. I really can't think of anything good to come out of this so far. The marksman changes and items seem good but still need more tuning.
Only thing I like (from a support POV) is the Spellthief buffs but even that's bound to get gutted.
Yes, they made some ideas that will really work out well e.g. Hunter's Potion instead of Trailblazer.

I really think riot is going downhill, specially after the assassin Poppy change. When you're approaching the 150 champ pool you can expect all the champs to be meta or viable in competitive, just let the niche ones be niche for the players who love them.
Mobility mages with more mobility than ever, ludens (10% speed buff. im looking at you ahri), frosqueen (40% slow for 4secs) all over the place.
They should focus more on ironing the server/ui side (client taking 400-800MB of ram just in lobby).
Whats the need of making champs overcomplex, Poppy was pretty simple with many possible paths for build and a nice counter for the coky picks like zed, talon or riven.
Hecarim win rate drops to respectable 51% win rate in general, 55% win rate for experienced players in 5.23 after itemization and mastery changes in 5.22: gutted to oblivion in 5.24.
Preseason changes are the best man
