How would you change it?
Personally, I'd get rid of promos. They're pointless, broken, and cause stress. If you get over 100LP you rank up. If you drop below 0 (and then lose a game) you rank down. Easy, balanced, fair.
I would remove ekko, and kindred. They were released in a highly unstable state. Their kits already need massive tweaking. (Mid kindred, and tank Ekko are good examples.)
Champs with mana would have lower cooldowns than champs without, Champs without any limiting resource would have the longest cooldowns and champs with limiting resources other than mana (health/energy) would be somewhere in between. Mana costs adjusted to be limiting unless built around (tear/athebes).
Remove the the 20 minute cap on surrender ability. Turn it into you cannot surrender unless either 2 out of 5 teamates have afk. Or Surrender if the enemy team has destroyed 8 of your towers AND 2 inhibitors. Reasons:
If there were one thing. I have multiple "One Things"
My one things are as follows
Loss forgiven for matches where a teamate doesnt make it into the game. -im not talking, came into the game, fed 3 kills, got harrassed to oblivion and then left, im talking they just never made it in. shits hard yo.
Position picked Ranked -people have prefered positions that they work hard to learn and be good at, having that role denied to them by pick order feels bad, and often the player moved to another role feels slighted if the guy doing "thier" role plays poorly, creating a ranked player position (which from what I understand is in the works) cleans up alot of this interaction.
remove Riven's ad scaling shield, make it behave like any other shield so she has to play more intelligently than "have 500 shield on 3 second cooldown" and just going in. she's considered a melee carry, make her play smart like a melee carry.
I have a few big things i would like to see soon in League
1.In-game voice chat...there are seriously a lot of strats/comps/champs and plays that just dont work without the ability to instantly and easily(taking 5 secs of doing nothing to type is not instantly or easily) share info with your team. Yes a lot of ppl use 3PP sources like Skype, but you need that set up before game and must be Qing with 4 friends for it to work, and i dont even think you can Q with more than duo in ranked anyway.
2.Remove 20 minute timer on surrender. It takes 4 votes to surrender so its not like one guys can say gg game over 5 mins in, having that guy start a vote and get shot down doesnt hurt anything...If the team doesnt wanna play, whats the point of making them?
3.Better tutorial and learning system/better bots-For one how can you practice with bots when they cant even jungle? Not to mention overall the learning curve is reaaaally steep. Im ok with it taking forever and lots of hard work to go from meh kinda shitty to really good. But it shouldnt take a such a long time to even figure out how the hell the game works
4.Pre called roles for ranked- The pros dont learn more than one position, teams dont randomly swap around roles in ranked team. I get needing to 2 or so, but come on, different styles appeal to different people and we shouldnt be forced into things we find unrewarding, even when winning simply bcuz we entered the room last or were bottom of pick order.
Thats the big ones I'll whine about for now =)
