Am I the only one excited about the direction league is going into?

I actually like where league is heading at the moment, yes I know the juggernauts are pretty strong right now, but I am fairly confident that after the next patch they will be fairly balanced. Also, with the new champion incoming, I am finally starting to understand why they moved morde to the bottom lane; they are trying change the meta bot lane by designing adcs to go in different lanes besides bot, which I think is a really concept. I mean yes we have had twitch jungle in the past, but it was never like his designated lane or his strongest. Also, Riot has stated that they plan on bringing many of the other champions that need a little love to compete with juggernauts, up to par. I'm really looking forward to the next season and what Riot has planned for us with the new ad items, champions, and champion updates!

I mean, I'm not too stoked about the reworks and new champions. It's just league of hit 3 autos and profit lately.

yeah I agree that mechanic is a bit bland, but I think Riot wasn't really trying to go for a game breaking kit with this champ, rather they wanted to produce a meta-breaking champ.

I'm super hyped about Kindred and how she/they will change up the meta. More role diversity is awesome.

I like it as well. I feel like it will grow to be as long as you have an ap damage dealer and an ad damage dealer your teal will be solid. Your support can still go bot lane, but they will go with any squishy. Possibly make it to where traditional mid laners can go down bot with the support, and still have a traditional mid laner go mid. The only problem I see with this is current mid laners that have some form of hard CC. Annie bot lane with a support Leona, or something of the sorts, will dominate your traditional bot lane.

Yeah, I can see something like that happen..

Another problem I can see is how will they determine who will go where? Right now it is obvious for most champs. Most marksmen go bot with a support. Most tanks and fighters go top. Most assassins and mages go mid. Then there is the ever present jungle that just seems to be anybody that can auto attack for 2 lvls without losing all of their health.

They're currently in the very rough draft version of going back to their season 1 roots.

There really wasn't a "meta" of sorts aside from Ashe mid.

there could be some form of any character in any lane. You didn't "need" an adc to win. You didn't "need" a support.

I think Rito is trying to make this game based more on the overall team comp than the actual "roles" of champions.

This is noticeable by trying to get other champions into particular lanes.

I wish, even season 1 was better than season 5. But no with GC at the helm there's nothing good in store.

I'm excited as f*ck.

Back in the days of Morello balancing, I despised with all my soul their balancing mindset. Every champion was weak and didn't feel like a potent force in the game, and 10 more or 10 less cs on the adc could win or lose a game. When Morello once said:

I'd rather have a champion be weak to the point of uselessness than have them be too strong.

And when asked if they would ever "buff everything and hope for the best, like DotA", he pretty much said:

That kind of power level will only happen in League over my dead body.

My heart honestly sank. Half-weak champions with cowardly-designed kits was all we were gonna get, after all. Great potential in ideas, all of it wasted because the designers were too afraid of making new and strong additions, both mechanically and visually.

However that started slowly changing with Rek'Sai, Kalista and Bard, and I started realizing League is changing direction, and I was _certain _ of it when Ekko was released and his burst remains un-nerfed to this day. They balanced out the unnecesarily strong parts of him, but they didn't give in and nerf his niche (CC, mobility and delayed burst) like they would have done in earlier Seasons. Right then, my trust to the game was restored. And later when I saw the Fiora rework I smiled, because it was _exactly _ what she should be, and after that we got the Juggernaut update and I was like:

#"Yep, they finally know what they're doing. Rito finally knows what they want with their game, and it's the right thing after all." :')

Each champion should be OP in their own way, so everyone will excel at something slightly different.

Right now I'm just waiting for 3 reworks: Talon (announced), Irelia (idk if they're planning to fix her, she can be so much more) and, most of all, Yasuo.

I'm really happy with these changes too, bot lane has been so damn stagnant and boring for so long, Morde and Kindred are changing things up!
