Concerns about disregard of player input and its effect on the game. (Red Response?)

I was browsing SurrenderAt20 to check out the incoming 6.8 changes (mostly after annoying games vs tank Ekko) and ran across the link to this PBE link. (Link Above.)

I can't say that I have read the entire comment section, but I spent better than half an hour at it. Care to take a guess what I see? 95% of the player base that is part of the PBE community disliking the majority of Xypherous' suggested changes. However instead of just saying "OK folks I tired, lets me rethink this." We get 10,000 reasons why the customer is wrong. (As always.)

What is with the CONSTANT large scale sweeping itemization changes you guys have made over the past 2 seasons anyway? Heck half of us can't even get used to the names of renamed items before they get remade into something new again.

To add my own opinion those AP changes will do nothing but make Tank AP's stronger than they are now. The more AP and MR you remove from items the stronger base damage becomes in comparison. Also converting Damage taken into Mana is a great idea...... if you are wanting people to stack lots of health on mages. Lux/Xerath/Ziggs/Ect aren't exactly going to be trading blows with people to get a little bit of mana returned. Tank Ekko/Rammus/Galeo/Malphite/Gragas/Naut are going to LOVE those changes though. (You know the high pick-rate/ban-rate champs.)

Look I might not have a fancy degree in game design, or anything... but sometimes some good old fashion common sense goes a lot way.
