So the preseason is a time of experimentation
And my god, close to everything has been disastrous (reworks by CERTINALY FKING T were the most balanced things and the jungle changes were neat). I'm curious to how things will play out come January, but either everyone in this community has a lot of adapting to do, or Riot has to rework the game..again.
I mean some changes are early PBE ideas that somehow made it through, Warlord's bloodlust for example. Did Riot seem to forget they were reworking ADCs and that Fiora, Yi, Yasuo and Tryndamere are quite popular picks and that this mastery may be quite strong.
Also towers, most of the community, pros included don't want squishy towers as far as I know and here we are getting squisher towers.
Plus this game snowballs hard enough pre this patch, so make it more aids with minions getting a steroid to the winning team, so that the lacking team can lose quicker, because who likes comebacks nowadays.
If we could just have the new towers, not implemented or just put back on the drawing board, along with the minion changes and Warlord's, and keep the new items, adcs and jungle, I'd be more interested in playing this preseason and getting hyped for January. But I don't want to play when ADs are going to be more scarier than they were before and that games are being ended in Call of Duty death match times.
