Change Is Needed

Hey, let me get this out there, I'm bronze 1, silver last season and started last year in January, now that's out the way, let me talk about the issue at hand.

The likelihood of this post getting any attention from riot is small, shame really. As I feel like the many points I'm going to bring to the table are very good and can be justified.

Lets start with the runes, more specifically stopwatch, which can be found in the inspiration tree. Probably didn't need to tell you about where it as anyone with a brain would take this item, which is shown in high elo games. Where nearly 70% of people take this rune, as i have seen in the countless streams and clips I've watched. This item is picked very often because it provides you with a zhonya passive, which gives you 2.5 seconds of invulnerability. This rune will be unlocked around 6 minutes into the game (Cant remember off the top of me head. Roughly when mid laners get level 6. The point is, this item is very strong, which is justified by how much it is picked. I personally hate the item, as it completely takes away the play making side of the game, as they can easily stopwatch, meaning there is less risks for risky plays, and more risk for risky plays, depending one which side of the coin you are. So many pros take it and high elo players, that in itself is proof this item is very strong, i personally believe it should be removed from the game.

Now onto something else that has been talked a lot about so i wont go into much detail other then mention the item. That is a bruiser keystone, now i personally don't believe bruisers are bad because of this, however i feel like they don't have one that fits them good, this is also the same issue with Yi and draven, all keystones are mediocre on them, but none fit them good. Anyways, there is plenty of discussion on this topic already so i wont go into more detail.

However, i do want to go back to Yi, i am apart of the Yi subreddit. And I see alot of talk about how riot is all about reverting the lb and rengar changes, but not Yi. Now there is choices that go into this which are completely understandable, but there is one major issues here that if fixed would help a lot which balance changes, and that is communication. One things i see lack is communication between riot employees and players of the game. This is shown by how the Yi subbreddit are barely heard, while there is riot employees who are quite active in subreddits like rengar mains. I feel like if riot took the time to hear from the community more, and more so the mains of the champions they wish to change, alter. This would greatly increase fun and balance changes as a whole. As balances are made, and the changes are liked by the mains of said champion themselves.

I think i will leave it at that for now, i may add more but its good enough for now, may i quickly point out this is an opinion. And should not be based on my ELO, i have as much right to speak as anyone else, and all my points are justified, have a nice day.
