@Riot Meddler & Company - What You Did Right and Wrong in 2017. Improvements in 2018

2017 is a year that I am actually noticing a change in your work ethic and actually doing something. I've been playing this exhausting game since season 2 and you haven't impressed me since season 2 when you ruined Karma. 2017 you are at least showing more interest in listening to the community and giving us a lot of things we want. Besides the terrible Halloween skins and excuses for it, you have listened in terms of what the community has been asking for the past few months to year.

1. We wanted more skins for unpopular champions. You STARTED to give us more skins for champions that have not gotten a skin in a very long time.
2. You gave us more lore and information about the world of League of Legends.
3. You gave us a winter themed SR.
4. You improved the new player experience and updated runes.

You did a lot and this is a step in the right direction; however, you still fail on a lot of things.

1. Jhin shouldn't be getting 3 skins in one year. I don't care if the skit series is part of the usual skin rotation or not. A new champion getting three skins and being part of two popular skin lines, is not fair for a champion that has yet to receive a skin or is ignored for skin lines. Yi got two skins this year as well. Please do a better job at including all champions in skin lines and DON'T give one champion more than one skin in a year. Seriously, there is no excuse why Jhin should have gotten 3 skins. I don't care what anyone says . . . . you have way too many champions who need skins to be doing this. We also didn't get any pool party skins this year. Do we blame the two Yi skins and three Jhin skins for this? Probably.

2. Stop with new champions and prioritizing all balance, art and reworks on new champions. You have 138 champion in this game and almost 75% of them need a VGU. You have wasted years and years of work on specific champions for more than 2 Ryze reworks, reworks on new champions, and much more. Put more of an emphasis on updating older champions that ACTUALLY need work and putting out more VGU. Why are you even entertaining the idea of giving Ezreal a VGU or rework over a champion that has been blatantly ignored for years. Stop with new champions and stop prioritizing work on champions that don't need work. The entire mage update was completely useless.

3. Work on giving us more itemization for AP users and actually work on the Support role. You have been saying for years now that you want to change the Support role. You want to give the Support role more to do, make it more interesting, you wanted to change the word Support to something else, you want to make Enchanters more interactive and less about shielding, you want to change how vision works. I have seen you do nothing but buff Ardent Censor and create a meta where it is rushed. You have not improved the role at all and you continue to talk about it, but ignore the fact that you have done nothing on it.

You did a better job in 2017 but you have a long way to go with 2018.
