Quaker's Unpopular Opinions.

One of Riot's least attractive qualities is that they don't know when to admit they messed up. Riot just won't accept fault. Class updates, for the most part, have been horrendous with something like a 33% success rate on the champion gameplay updates. It took multiple failed Rageblade reworks to revert the Kog update. We still haven't had a revert on the Fizz or Maokai Updates. Graves and Quinn are both still abominations.

Melee carries shouldn't exist. Yi and Yasuo are two of the most polarizing champions in the game. The question of skill-to-benefit ratio is irrelevant - their kits are inherently very toxic. Riot needs to push them toward being Assassins (think Zed), Divers (think Riven) or Traditional Bruisers (think Jax; Aatrox; Irelia). Riot seems to think that it's healthy to have the amalgamation of Survive-ability, Burst and Sustained DPS for the mere sake of being able to say that the game has Melee Carries.

Purely Passive supports are toxic by design. Janna and Soraka are abominations. They do the exact same job regardless of whether they build Full AD, Meta-slave Support, Full AP, or (the most toxic of all) Full Tank. A champion like Nami, Lulu, or Sona on the other hand actually needs somewhat invest in CDR and AP to avoid falling off.
melee will always have to be in danger to do their job so they are uni-formally unreliable.
