thoughts from a season 2 player to current season

I started this game back in season 2 on my main account and over the years from season 2 to now season 6 I have always been a serious rank player. Now i always knew i wasnt challenger good but over the past 2 seasons was close to diamond. anyways over the years this game has progressed from taking skill and having to have knowledge of the game hence having to know the roles and what the champions do to the point the game is literally dumbed down to where any monkey can play this game. It was nice to having to buy wards instead of being given wards, it was nice to having to know the cooldowns of camps instead of being shown when it spawns. It was nice to know that if i wanted to do damage i had to build it instead of getting it for free either due to masteries or items that were too strong at the moment. I liked i had to ward dragon and baron if i wanted the timer of it if the enemy killed it. I also liked how champions back then if were 2 strong were nerfed when they needed to be instead of the popular ones not being touched this season till too late and the unpopular ones as soon as they start to be played get immediately hit with a nerf. We need the old mastery system back this one is too hard to balance honestly since everyone gets damage for free and also this is overstated on here but needs to be said we need the old solo duo que back in rank. this garbage here has ruined the game honestly as far as competitive goes. High ranks dont want to rank anymore cause of the premades so they smurf and lower the ranks of others due to their smurfs. so its like all high ranks smurfs have pushed down the ranks of others and prevent them from climbing and the other problem is Boosting is practically ok this season. Anyone can get 4 of their buddies to carry them to a rank they dont deserve and player skill is less this season than before in rank. plat use to take some skill and now there is very few skill plat players in my experience on my main account. most of the players there play worse than those on my silver smurf i created to play with a friend of mine and that is sad if the games in silver and gold are better than those in plat which should not be the case at all. Now I have switched to smite cause this game is not near as fun or as competitive as before and i wish that wasnt the case but Riot as a loyal fan all these years i had to voice my opinions. If Solo duo comes back then ill have hope for this game again and might come back but until then im out.
