The best thing riot could give the players

The best thing riot could give the players is a new gameplay philosophy. I mean if you think about it, one of the biggest problems driving the reworks and new champs that the players really hate is that riot's underlying gameplay philosophy that rework Akali is the best or that Irelia on her rework's release was fine, or Kei'Sha/Zoe were good ideas. Don't get me wrong, there have been champs and reworks that are fine, good even. However the fact that multiple toxic champs have been released or where the results of reworks means that riot finds those champs acceptable.

Take Akali's new shroud. What ever happened to riot's idea around counterplay? Where's the counterplay when you are trapped by an invisible assassin you can't do anything about and said assassin gets to stay invisible longer the more she attacks you. Or take Zoe's paddle. Does anyone remember old Nidalee spears? The ones that actually encouraged you to chuck them at long range? A ton of people hated that skill. Putting all of a champ's damage into one skill was a mistake that shouldn't have been repeated lightly. So riot decides to give it a second shot.

Can any red tell me why akali and yasuo are banned 50% of the time? The answer isn't tuning. It's because riot never learned that some crap isn't fun to play against even if you know how to beat it. They forgot that games are supposed to be fun for everyone involved. Irelia has a 45% win rate and she's still banned half of the time because she's not fun to play against. Riot really needs to stop making champs that aren't fun to play against. Is there counterplay doesn't go far enough. If playing against a champ feels like walking barefoot across a football field full of legos even if you can win, there's a problem with that champ's design.

So riot, please try to stay focused on designs that are both fun to play as and fun to play against.
