Preseason has failed to implement it's goals.
When preseason 6 first came around I was aware that balance would be jeopardized for the next several patches but It's not just balance that is currently failing but most of Riots goals with these massive changes.
Rift Herald: How rarely is this thing even used. I mean its not game breaking or broken on its own but for most games it just sits their waiting to turn into Baron.
ADC Upgrade...oh sorry I meant Update: So if you aren't Lucian MF or Graves player then this update means very little to you. New items and better costs but Essence reaver makes the 3 listed champions as broken as RIven's sword. Sure there are new times but as always, there's the one build path which is best. No variety in style of build or champion choice.
Gameplay/Momentum: We've all experienced it. Games are short curb stomps or slaughters where one mistake by one teammate can screw over your chances of wining. The minion changes help slightly but now I feel as if I'm playing an over glorified Call of Duty game instead of a strategic team game. Get you ad assassin or marksmen fed is the new name for League.
Masteries: Good Lord. Instead of choice we have broken mastery of the week where you find out that these new masteries are better than most champion passives. The Warlord's rampage, thunder lords League etc. Not only are the masteries too synergetic with some champions while leaving others in the dust. Plus Swain, Anivia, and Karthus nerfs because of them? Really? Did we learn nothing from Warwick and Feral Flare or Sejuani and CInderhulk. Take you broken masteries back and give me the old ones which didn't dominate the game and make a subset of champions OP only for them to be nerfed when there are far worse balance cases.
Priorities and Plans have been bungled so much recently. The Juggernaut reign the 100% morde ban/pick. I haven't seen a positive change in so long I'm losing hope of what season 6 will be like. (Also new assassin item. Welcome back to the League of Zed mid-lane. At least Faker and Bjergsen will be happy.)
and
, both who were much more cancerous than MF and Lucian. Quinn, Trist, Corki, Twitch, also got very much needed changes, especially the former. Variety in bot lane is far better than it was before, Urgot and Kog are the only ADCs I have seen little of.
could. that's 4
