Anatera15 votesIn a nutshell? They're lying. They lied that they were concerned and then lied about the way in which they fixed it in the hopes that no one would notice. In truth, they don't care about the speed of the game, they care about what they think makes the most money.
Saianna1 votesthey don't care about the speed of the game, they care about what they think makes the most money.
You are kinda wrong. They care about speed of the game, as they actively try to shorten it. Why? Because koreans use gaming cafes to play games, rather than buy their own PCs. They'd be reluctant playing 2 games per hour, but with faster pace of the game you can squeeze even 4 games in 1 hour sometimes, so they'd be more willing to play some LOL rather than other game.
LOL has already left their old playerbase in instead is changing to fit asian 'pc cafe' gaming market.
Btw you guys know that mobile lol-copy game in korea earns few times more money yearly than what LoL has earned? This is one of reasons why Blizz wanted to jump into mobile game market with diablo immortal.
Cats Are Food9 votesWe of Season 1 cannot explain the logic behind the current design philosophy other than this:
RIOT wants money. Streams make money. Streams do NOT make as much money as RP purchases, but RIOT still think Streams are more important. People watching streams like short, flashy games. They will continue to base every decision on this until a different game tips them.

Next in things not based in reality or fact: the Flat Earth Society.
FOR JUSTICE7 votesto be fair imo in this case its different, because aside from a few exceptions (
) most marksmen cant afford to not build damage. like, the class as a whole has no defensive options at all, other then maybe 
(which in itself is inefficient, because if they got close enough to proc it, you were already dead) and 
. they can also dip into 
line but remember once someone is on top of them they are already dead, and only really helps for magic based champions. so marksmen like this 
have to rely on just life stealing to try and outduel you, or getting a lucky shutdown, but at the cost of not actually being able to kill you as fast.
THATS why crit marksmen are shit, they cant do a thing if they dont build damage, but have no defensive options either, as a "scaling" class in games that last on average less then 25 minutes.
Boiled Triangles4 votesThe balance team is completely incompetent, and the rest of the company is out of touch/greedy as hell. Its pretty hilarious how you never EVER see a rioter comment on any threads about the widespread balance issues. Alternatively, they're just trying to keep this dying game afloat as long as possible before everybody leaves.

Not true, shout out to their artists.

Has he mentioned the insane amount of damage, even once?
ˆˇˉˇˆ3 votesI'm an ADC main, and I want everything else, including probably ADC's, to be nerfed. I want to restore Season 4 or so times, back when ADC's did consistent damage, and more than other classes, BUT DID NOT INSTANTLY BURST SOMEONE DOWN!
I don't want to be buffed to be a one-shot machine.
BestPudgeNA2 votesYou can't Buff ADC utility cause most of them don't have anything meaningful You can't really buff ADC defensive stats because it's a very thin line between being squishy and become Ardent Meta drain tanks again So you can only really buff damage
Rıots Bad Client7 voteswhat about the other route. (The Indirect buff route)
Where you tone down everyone else's damage, so adcs dont get pop like a empty bag of chips.

"You can't really buff ADC defensive stats because it's a very thin line between being squishy and become Ardent Meta drain tanks again"
It's the same thing. You can do that and that's what they should do... but you can't do that and keep ADCs the way they're currently they will just be OP again. ADCs don't have any sort of counterplay too them except killing them first.
DuskDaUmbreon1 votesWhether you increase their defense by 20% or decrease everyone else's damage by 20% is irrelevant. They take 20% less damage regardless of how you do it.
They're the exact same fucking thing. The boards need to stop pretending they're different, when the only difference between the two is the size of the numbers.
Rıots Bad Client1 votesIncorrect. It means that base stats and the scaling of them more impactful not just adc's but everyonel.
this means nerf damage across the board buffs everyones defenses. so level 5. It just means that Rammus is a bit more tankier. It means at level 7, perhaps that LB cannot one shot your bard who is level 5. Perhaps late game that means Galio could be tankier against a draven than a Pink Ward would be.
So if everyone is tankier. it means Adc Have a clear goal of actually dealing consistent damage.
rather just letting a AOE like mage to one shot entire teams. Like 
and 
they would deal less to entire teams, and cannot get a job done like an adc could.
Because if you buff adc defense stats they'll just go top and can reliably tower dive or become draintanks. They'll just become a lane bully early and a late game monsters.
Or thats how I see it.
And buffing damage, only makes them more 1-shot glass cannons with large targets to be one shotted.
