Leagues problem

Can we stop buffing everything? I used to have such a passion for this game s2-s6 but gave up on it when I started seeing the dmg spike. There have been so many decisions that have contributed to the current meta. The biggest difference being in s2-s5 the dev team would make small adjustments for tuning rather than overbuff. Sure, there was times when a certain champion would have its reign of terror, but I can state 100% that I enjoyed the game. It almost feels like the devs don't consider all the variables or are not even opened to having a discussion with the players to see what variables could potentially be affecting the current meta.

Just a list of some of the stuff that has drastically changed from when I played rank daily.

• over tuning of champions
• bad itemization
• over-tuned runes
• weak towers
• op champion kits
• excessive amount of team objectives
• Early game gold increase
• Limitation

This isn't intended to be a rant thread, but its infuriating to see a game you played daily turned into something you rarely play with your friends. Riot, if you're losing customers than something must not be going right and to the balancing devs rather than taking this as a personal attack take it as constructive criticism. I'm well aware that games have to change over time, but this game definitely abandoned its player base a few seasons ago. Have the integrity to go above and beyond rather than dismissing this has just some random rant thread.

To the other players out there, do any of you feel the same?
