Tired of this attitude: "This thing is strategically important, thus it should be nerfed/changed"
For example, saying that waveclear on midlaners needs to be nerfed or waveclear should be less important for mid.
Look I get that the game needs to change and new stuff needs to be added over time, but there is no reason to change the basic fundamentals of the game. The game has a huge playerbase already because we LIKE the way the game is played. It's not perfect but mostly we like the fundamentals of the game. We have 3 different lanes, and the jungle, and each one emphasizes different strategies, different playstyles.
A more welcome kind of change would be diversifying champion kits so it's not "only ADCs bot" or "only mages mid" or "only bruisers top" or "only enchanters as support" etc... and most of those things have been achieved, which made the game better imo. But that is not a change to the fundamentals of the game. It's just a diversification of the champion archetypes so that each archetype isn't just a bunch of clones of the same kit anymore.
But anyway it's really bad when you're trying to improve at a game and then the devs decide to patch it in a way that totally changes some fundamental strategic aspect of the game. It's already hard enough to keep up with meta changes and balance patches.
If you really want to completely disrupt how the game is played on a deeply fundamental level, consider making a new game instead.
) ridiculous waveclear so that they would be able to shove and roam. Ryze rework gave him more reliable waveclear. To try to lure brand back to midlane, Riot gave him mana back on E so he could waveclear more easily. They just buffed ludens so more champions could use it. They introduced minion dematerializer to help champs out with waveclear. Vlad and Malz reworks both got arguably more waveclear than they even used to have (though they always had a lot). Galio rework has ridiculous waveclear.
and
both have ridiculous waveclear for the same reasons the assassins do (and both have unsurprisingly seen quite a bit of pro play since their release).
