Game is getting pretty boring really quick

All these prior seasons there was something called balance.

Earlygame champs used to be high risk/high reward. Now its more like mandatory/finish the game in 10 minutes. Snowball got totally out of control. Early game champs now completely dominate the rift without any drawback because now you can take turrets like minions so you can push fast and end the game without ever reaching mid/lategame where supposedly you should start falling off.
There is absolutely no reason now to pick mid/lategame champs like Nasus who have to farm up a bit or champs who rely more on teamfight strategies since everything has become 'snowball, take turrets and keep splitting at 10-15m we got all inner turrets'.
. These items are broken. It stacks way too fast. For champs like Leblanc and Lux there is hardly any risk involved.
So all you have to do is pick early game champs like Lee, TF, Leblanc, Graves and stomp.

Errm...no. The closest Riot ever got to perfect balance in recent years was a little bit before juggernauts were released, and it's been on a downhill spiral out of control ever since because the balance team's shipment of space-age superdrugs had finally arrived and they decided that once again we don't matter when the pro scene is getting hyped up. (Worlds)

I can slightly defend them during preseasons...however, this preseason is exceptionally bad compared to the others, especially when we shouted from the rooftops what was going to be a problem, and almost literally everything was ignored. Now that the patch was released on Live, people are upset with you? Oh wow, what happened?

Warlords is busted? Yasuo, Graves, and Tryndamere are broken? The mastery system really doesn't make each champion feel unique like you insisted it would? The itemization and stat shifts were a horrible idea because everything gives crit, cdr, and sustain if you're AD while AP champs are castrated? The jungle is too punishing? Well thank god Lee Sin is fine with it, how would we survive without him being in every other game? The towers are dying too fast?

Huh, it's almost as if we told you so. But hey, it's alright because it's preseason right?

Stop using this excuse Riot - you're fixing what isn't broken to change things for the sake of change while the broken aspects of your game are still running rampant. You can say that this is preseason for a reason and that you're trying things out to see what works, and while that's acceptable in theory, we're seeing the direction you want to take League in and we're pretty pissed about it.

Offer suggestions? We did that, and you refused to listen. Are you actually accepting feedback now that this blew up in your face and people are upset?

Graves isn't really early game+ rito made all these changes to make the game quicker because people were tired of watching super long 45+ min. LCS matches.

This year I was new to watching LCS but it was not even long, matches felt fast pace, entertaining as hell and such, and I do love the changes it's just that riot has a few things to tweak and have to introduce a way for mages to kill tanks and an item for lw nerf compensation to all assassins(Snowballers basically)
