Something changed in 2016

Riot loves to brag about how much they communicate with their community.

Fact is, they've been the antithesis of transparent ever since 2016 dynamic queue. they learned literally nothing from that year and continued to do crazy dumb things over and over and still are with the jungle change recently. This can only be fixed by replacing whoever is in charge of game balance, and it sounds harsh I know, but if Marc Merrill has a brain, he'll see that the current balance team has already had too many chances and missed the mark on all of them.

the new masteries are just way, way too much to balance. they're trying to make every single mastery as impactful as season 6 keystones. in season 6, the only things that really mattered were the keystones, the lifesteal, the mana regen, the 5% cdr, and dangerous game

now, they're trying to make everything important. nimbus cloak would've been a keystone in season 6. maybe it was actually an idea for a stormraider's rework.

the runes and masteries from season 5 and before were probably the easiest shit to balance in the entire game.

we should seriously just have season 5 or 6 masteries, and free, SINGLE runes. like, you have one red rune, one yellow rune, one blue rune, and one purple rune. and they would each behave exactly like 9 (or 3) runes of one type
