Riot should do the following, for a better League of Legends

I just took the Riot's survey, and on the last page there was a general comment section, so being a League of Legends veteran here is what I had to say: I play the game since its beginning and throughout the time I've seen lot's of changes, some good and some bad. I will focus on the very important bad changes.

  1. Champion reworks essentially delete champions from the game. There are many reasons as to why I think that is bad. For example it removes a certain gameplay style from the game, and if I enjoy playing a certain chamption and it's removed - it gives me one more reason to not play the game. The rework is essentially a removal of a champion and replacement of it with a different one, but similar cosmetics.

  2. Game re-balancing is often times done in favor of nerfing everything to a certain average point. This is bad because it narrows the player skill spread. What I mean is that I am for more vigorous and volatile tactical action, rather than "everyone is tanky, and your single instance ability combo doesn't matter, because it can take 10 of those to take down one champion". I exaggerate a little about 10... but if you full combo a champ in 1v1 and it stays above 70% hp - then that means to me that my tactical effort means nothing. I know that this is a team game and perhaps you try to stimulate team ganking, as well as, longer team fights, but in my opinion it would be better to just reduce spawn times, so that there would just be more fights. I can give you an example of a current game that has very good game balance and player skill spread so far - Battlerite.

  3. Removal of Crystal Scar map literally decimated nearly all custom game modes. This was a huge blow to the community, and I know at least a dozen players who quit the game because custom games were a major part of their playtime. I loved to play custom games in an arena style map. I hope and Riot can add arena style map back into the game so that players can use it for custom game modes. On a side note: Blizzard in their Overwatch have listened to the community and created a vast arsenal of options for creation of custom game modes, and the community thanked them by thriving.

I am taking this time and effort, writing this, in hopes to be heard and in hopes that my points will be taken into consideration and I (and perhaps many other players) will be able to rejoice once again in a better League of Legends, than its current state.

P.S. I hope for support from community, so that this post does not get buried, and we all together can get the point across to Riot.
