@Riot Disappointed Since Season 6

You have ruined this entire season for me. With the lazy work on mages and AP items, unnecessary buffs to my main that do nothing to solve her problems, the slow work on broken, updated, and oudated champions, the constant love for ADC and making them way too strong in the beginning of the season, the lack of nerfs on ADC champions you still have yet to balance, the lack of AP items and item options ADC, tanks and AD champions have in the game right now, death timers, turrets being useless, no real AP keynote mastery, the removal of Dominion because you are to lazy to work on it, and the fact that you are nerfing almost all AP items.

Nerfing almost all the AP items by like 20 AP was the last straw for me. Did you really need to up the timer of Zhonya and lower the AP ratios . . . in favor of making it cheaper and have CDR attached to it? No. You could give us more items that have CDR attached to it . . . but you didn't. What you did was nerf already existing items and attached a CDR mechanic too it.

  • You are removing spell vamp.
  • You are removing mana regen on almost all items.
  • You nerfed AP ratios on items that didn't need it.
  • We still have only THREE magic pen options to choose from . . . while ADC and AD champions have close to six or more.
  • AP champions have almost NO DEFENSIVE OPTIONS NOW. From the looks of it all we have now is Abyssal Scepter and Zhonya. Compared to ADC who now have so much sustain and the ability to survive, AP champions are the new squishy ADC.

I seriously question the balance team at this point. I want to have faith in their ability to create content that feels good and is fun. Since the beginning of the season they have made A LOT of questionable decisions without any regard to community feedback. Almost all of the ADC champions were put on the live servers broken or overpowered. ADC and AD items are still too strong and providing way to much sustain for champions that shouldn't have it. Questionable buffs to existing champions in a pathetic attempt at making them viable again. Keynote masteries are VERY one sided. There is a lot more to say about Riot and their decisions this year.

I have decided to uninstall and not play anymore. I have lost all faith in your ability to create content that is balance, fun, and good for the game. The game is still extremely one sided and by the looks of the mage update, you are not addressing any player concerns or making the game better. Removing AP ratios on almost all AP items in favor of CDR . . . . . is in my opinion not a good trade off. It would have been better to integrate more items into the game that have CDR options . . . . which players were asking for in terms of more armor and MR options with CDR. You give us a new item called Rocket Belt that is going to be cancerous to the game. There are champions that are meant to engage and others that are not. Giving champions that already do not have a problem engaging on enemies, more options to engage on enemies . . . . is going to ruin the game. I see why you are adding this into the game . . . . but the trade off is that you are giving way to much lane pressure to champions like Akali, Diana, and Ekko. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see this new item on Zed or Talon.

There is a 10% chance I will come back if the mage update surprises me. I don't think it will because Riot is not addressing the problems. Too many times this season we have faith in their ability to create productive content . . . . and so far it has been VERY bad.

What do you expect from a company which is lying with a straigth face about soloQ just to make sure people don't get mad because they scraped it. Do you really think they respect you?

Just live with their descisions and play the game. Or not

Yeah. I am not playing anymore.

I really don't understand the decision to completely remove solo Q. That is the reason why I haven't even bothered playing ranked this season.

I've refused to spend any RP this season until the game gets balanced. I just wish more people were willing to do the same. The only way to send a message to a company is through their wallet.

The sad this is that the skin, character concept team, and writers are the best part of the game. The major problem is the lack of productivity and though process of the balance team. I have always said that the skin team, while I do think they favor specific champions too much, have created wonderful skins. It's a shame that they have to be dragged down to the balance and champ ups team level.s\

True, but ultimately they all receive a paycheck from the same area. It's the only way I know how to send them a message. Obviously the numerous posts about how shitty the game has been lately with the massive upvotes, the fact that LCS players and even announcers have mentioned how poorly balanced the game is etc... are of no concern to Riot.

Agreed.

It's a shame really. The writers, champion concept team, and skin department are the best parts of the game. It makes me sad to see all of their hard work being dragged down because of the champion update and balance team. I have always said the skin department makes amazing skins, despite favoring specific champions too much. They will not get anymore money from me. I was going to buy Program Lissandra yesterday and then I read the mage update thread on items . . .. yeah. That changed quickly.
