Am I the only one who loves everything about pre-season?

Seriously almost every thread on here is negative. What's going on with these forums? People complaining constantly, I do agree somethings are not perfect (like the client) but so far I love everything about it. Especailly the dragon changes.

People who are complaning about elder dragon execute or dragon soul, I'm sorry honey but if you can't finish the game by the time elder or even the dragon soul is alive; thats the definition of a match breaker.

Same with Baron, what's funny no one complains about Baron but complains about Elder dragon, like what? Not only that but the chance of the losing team can get it also, which results of a not one-sided match.

Supports are fine also, I do agree that only tank supports needs buffs, especailly champions like Braum, Taric, Alistar and maybe other tank supports I'm missing? Everything else I'm happy about, Riot did a good job getting rid of the damage of support items like spell thiefs because as a support main, I absolutely got SICK of seeing mage supports and dealing with them, especially champions like Brand, Velkoz, and Zyra. Those champions belong in MID lane, not bot just constantly poking and damaging half of my hp.

I'm not here to judge, but it seem that the lower elo (iron to gold) are just complaining and everything above that absolutely love it which is sad because I know Riot needs to cater to that specific group. I now know why I spend more time on reddit on these forums, back in 2015 it use to be good, now it's literally just complaining and crying. I do hope Riot does not change much because I honestly love these changes and hope it gets set in stone.

Thank you and happy early thanksgiving! :)

People who enjoy the game do not visit the Boards. There is a reason why nobody takes this echo chamber seriously.

Very true, thank you for your post.

You are certainly not the only one. I'm having a blast so far. The most vocal part of the boards are simply those who have something to criticize.

AP supports feel bad to play(at least they do for me so far), they gutted their mana regen choice. The old item was a 450g purchase for a small amount of mana regen...now AP supports do what for the same price? Buy Doran's rings? Also supports don't have the same option to snowball lane leads, like any other role can. If you recall as a support, you don't have as much gold in the early game to buy notable items. Getting a free item =/= being able to flexibly spend your gold.

Also the baron/elder buff thing. I don't think people ever questioned Baron's game ending potential...because it was somewhat countered by the true damage that the elder was giving. That and, the elder is also easier/safer to take...it didn't do as much damage to your team as baron would, didn't really require a more dedicated tank to take it...and because of that, the buff for baron should've also been stronger. Although, I have no idea if they changed the damage values or other numbers for baron/elder...I just know they changed the buffs.

EDIT: Although I do love some of the changes. The flexibility of the lethality items is nice(although sanguine blade probably needs nerfs). I like the visual effects, and changing up the map is always nice because it changes the flow of gameplay. I also like that both sides of the jungle now grant level 3, because it should allow for certain junglers to be more viable than they were.

Happy Thanksgiving!
