Someone needs to sit down with Riot's design team and have a talk

Hey Riot. Buddy. We all care about you. We kind of need to have a talk. You've got a problem buddy. And the sooner you admit it, the better. Your team needs to sit down and break away from their 'three hit proc' abilities. And we gotta stop with these added 'minigames' with champions. Like, they're not really that fun or interesting. Especially now that you went gonzo with the Masteries.

Ya know what was always kinda cool about runes and masteries? You didn't notice them most of the time. They were tiny buffs, and the best implementations were ones that allowed you to modify a champion role slightly to mix things up, like a jungler, or a beefier top laner. This new stuff is just balls-to-the-wall, crank it to 10, everyone has insane burst. I get it, we all like things that explode and go pew-pew, but Riot. You're better than that.

And while we're at it - no more double passives. Before you retort - no. Just stop. That's power creep. Shen doesn't need some ghost sword and a constant shield. Azir doesn't need a Turret AND scaling stats. Yasuo doesn't need a shield for some random reason AND double critical strike chance.

While we're discussing things - your dynamic queue options is just bad. It's got the same flaws as before, takes longer to find a game, and drives engagement down for people. It's also hard to get a good idea of how well you do on a competitive level in solo play when you can invite as many people as you want - of course, I was also against having the ability to duo queue, but one fight at a time.

We love you Riot, we don't want to see you get hurt. It'd just be nice to have a simple skill shot that stuns, a small shield, a dash, and disrupt ultimate champion again. Or something unique in the way the Udyr is unique.

I agree. Another point, why does shen have an area of effect blind on auto attacks? Who thought that that was a good idea?
