Riot, what a terrible trade.
So they did away with the runes, runes which took me months of grinding in games with terrible players to earn...and in return they gave me enough blue essence to buy 1 6300 champion or 1 rune page...I can't even begin to understand why Riot thinks this is fair. Take away something people earn and give them almost nothing in return. Not to mention the fact that they chose to completely change and break the game...a game that the majority of the player base STILL hadn't learned how to play properly. Now, people that previously didn't know how to play are even more unaware of how to play. The fact that a support Lulu 1 shot my mid laner at level 7 with only a spellthiefs, not upgraded, is disgusting. I hope they reduce the time you can surrender from 15 minutes to 10 because so far games have ended within minutes of starting and fights last for about 2-3 seconds. People just get bursted instantly and there's no counter play whatsoever. Plus people are somehow being even more toxic than they previously were because every one is playing so poorly. It's horrible
