Does Riot care about player opinions
I have not found one person who likes the new jungle changes to Season 7 or the fact that they are removing item sets. But Riot doesnt give a fuck.

Riot has given us assurances that pre season will be the testing ground for the changes and that if things don't pan out with plants that they'll revert the changes until such a time as they can be implemented properly if at all.
That said, Riot has a poor track record of maintaining player faith in the game, but at least they're trying to regain it.
So, I say, give them a chance and see what happens before we start rebuking them.
riot takes a while to realize things are a bad idea, but the playerbase also takes a while to realize some things are good idea. when preseason 8 comes out, we are going to have the same complaints about the next new thing breaking a balanced game. riot will prob listen if the complaints are still coming up after a few patches in preseason
I'm actually really interested in the jg camp changes, the plants don't bother me to much.
the fact chickens have turned into an aoe camp, and krugs is the best camp in the game now because of how much exp it gives
the redside isn't meant to really be started, while blue is a much easier start
the smite changes also seem interesting, having smite essentially be a heal on every camp, means you don't lose out on your heal if your red gets invaded by some Ivern cheese.
the only thing I question is honestly if riot tries to let people have their special cases like the Sivir jg game I played not to long ago
are they designed for the jungle, hell no. but they're an interesting pick that definitely has some merits, (more weaknesses than merits, but hey.)
