Preseason 5.24 - Reflection So far / Disappointing ~ Diamond Season 5 ~
(I understand what Preseason is and what it is for. Just picture it as Beta for S6)
-
Feels like riot has far too many Ideas without much thought. They are concentrating on releasing new champions and new mechanics too fast without fully testing it on Beta Servers.
-
Balance - Is at it's worst. There are far too many champions to be banned every game (Hello Soraka). If you aren't playing current TOP 6 OP champs, you won't have much fun. **// I feel like I am forced to play what RIOT wants me to, like I've finally lost \**
-
No counter to stealth Mechanic. At. All. - Pink wards do not cut it anymore because they are easily spotted being visible and the cost can put you behind in itemization, thus, harming your lane experience. _// Maybe return pinks to invisible with time limit? \_
-
WTF are Masteries anymore?! Let's be real, there are only 2 choices: 12/18/0 or 0/18/12. If you are not putting a point into Thunderlords your butt cheeks will be spread so hard that you may as well AFK at the fountain. Really riot, I'm tired of seeing 10 Thunderlords every Game.
-
Mana Pots Removement - This was harsh. I don't feel that the new mastery is FAIR. In order to gain 1.5% mana recovery you lose 5% damage and that is HUGE punishment. (The flat mana runes that are supposed to give me additional 3.7 mana recovery at level 1, do not activate for some reason). **// I feel this could be fixed easily by increasing mana recovery per minion on
\**
I Love League of Legends, I do. I've played many previous Preseasons and I have been excited. I still had tons of flexibility in my build and in my choices. However, It feels different now. It feels like RIOT fears that the community finds their game too difficult, and so they are introducing simpler mechanics to the newbies. To a point where their hands are being held through every tiny step (I.E. new ranking system up to G1). I feel like my Freedom Of Choice is taken away.
