A nice little last patch feedback post :)

Dear Riot.

That was the last straw. We don't understand what you're aiming to do with all those changes. Your everlasting rivalry with Blizzard has lead you to a massive downfall. Simplicity. You keep on designing well-done, kit-balanced champions who are also fun to play. Props to you guys for that, it's original. Cool. But somehow in the same time you're making the game simpler to the point where nobody understands it or knows what to do with it anymore. Hey, just like in season II! Haha right..... except it's season VIII. Forgivable. I don't know what you tried to do with this last patch, but the result is clear - bot lane is dead. You killed the most popular supports with the last item and stats changes. And, as a consequence, the AD Carries, too. It's okay to keep the game balanced through minor changes here and there, but what you did was ridiculous. That's an overnerf, boys. That's ruining people's careers. No one plays ADC's since the last patch. Every game you see something like Trundle-Pyke bot. Or Illaoi-Pyke bot. Or Jarvan-Pyke. Look, it's cool that people are focused on your new champion but that doesn't mean should have to kill off AN ENTIRE ROLE. No, no, two roles, actually. Furthermore, if anyone ever plays ADC it's in the mid lane. Which is of course not terrible - people used to do it before too. But the essential ADC role was played in the bot lane typically. Sure, now and then people played Yasuo-Alistar, but it was just fucking around, having fun, for the lols. And not the "OmFg LuL mEtA". I'm getting cursed at for picking Vayne. My champion gets banned by my own team if it's a Marksman. This is ridiculous. Stop trying to be original all the time because you're so focused on the idea of having new, fun and creative designs and gameplay that you completely forget what league is all about for most of us, the player base. I'm completely aware that there is no such thing as a completely balanced game, but this.... fuckery of a game that you've progressively been creating for the last couple of years is getting ridiculous. I am seriously considering quitting this game and I know you don't care about one person, but many will follow if you don't stop listening to bronzies and silvers who're screaming "OMFG RITO PLZ NERF" in your faces.

I'm not going to even talk about changes over the years - we got used to them. But you've crossed the line this time.

Sincerely, a (probably former) ADC main and a (probably former) League of Legends player
