is Riot taking the fun out of the game

So... First of all love the game and lots of fun etc...

Now, Lately I have the impression Riot is trying to take out the fun ouf of the game and that for several reasons.

  1. They got rid of Dominion. Yes not a lot of people played it, niether did I ( I prefer Aram). But people used it as a more fun game mode to get out of the summoners rift where people always play their best to win. Then they come up with a good way to make it up ( an excellent idea I must say ) : Rotation mode, all the game modes they had made before rotate and will be playable. Turns out, yes they will come, yes they will rotate but will only be open from friday evening to monday early morning... Why don´t they just leave it open for the week ? I love these game modes they are fun and offer a nice alternative to the game. ( There is the thread on it, the rioter answered to all questions of people except for that one, of course...)

  2. They added Hextech crafting, the idea is bloody awesome! It took them 6 seasons to finally give us an option to craft skins, but ofcourse they make you get S rank. S rank is rather hard to get, it does not only depend on your skills but if the others feed then your S rank is gone, ull die too much. So in order to get the chests, you have to "tryhard", people get even more serious about the game ( we are not talking challanger/Master tier here Bronze to plat...). Basically, if you are new, if you suck, if you play relaxed and try fun stuff you wont get a chest ( if your level sucks your allies will have same level). People get stressed out so much over a game it is hallucinating...

  3. They do not listen to the majority. Riot just does what ever it thinks is right. They take away Graves cigar, people complain, they do not listen. A lot of people want ranked Aram, they dont care and explain why it would be too random or something.( I`m personally not sure if I want this), people want rotation all week long, NOPE...

  4. Why on earth did they get rid of the 5v5 ranked teams ????? This was one of the most fun things in league. I play with my friends ( real life friends) and we have fun and together we are improving a lot. Except for 2 of us, they suck no talent and they know it. We dont care, we play with them none the less and have a blast. And we have our team and loved to rank that up and play 5v5 normals for fun. But you can understand how I would not like to play my personal rank with these not good friends. And I am ranked 1 rank and 2 ters above 2 of them, that means even if I wanted to, I wouldnt be able to. Again a great fun part is gone.

So I would like to know what you guys think ? Do I completely missed the point and it is good that a game is starting to become just purely e-competition focused ? ( I refuse to call it sports :x ) And it owuld be awesome for a rioter to answer, but Í won´t hold my breath.

this games really gone to shit this seasons. Hextech Crafting is good idea. but its not refined very well at all. For someone like me who only wants the hextech annie skin from it, the hextech crafting system does not reward me, it only punishes me and severely at that by asking me to pay hundreds of dollars for a skin i would like to have.

Lol, they got rid of 5v5 ranked teams?

Well, the hextech is supposed to reward you for playing good. It seems fine for me having to get an S for a chest. I've got 2-3 of them even though the games were lost. Getting stressed out for an S seems kinda pointless, chests respawn very slowly anyway.
