My Resignation

Dear Rito, I've been here with you since back when HotshotGG was a big deal. I remember the early seasons. I remember there being 40 champions. I remember how hard you worked to balance different aspects and shift gameplay, the needed nerfs on lee sin, the total rework of stealth, and all of the different metas the game went though. I watched the progression of more and more mobile champions, to the point now where most newer characters have at least a gap close and an escape of some form. Although non-plussed about your removal of DFG, I understood it had to be removed to keep some assassins in line. However with your rework of veigar the game just isn't fun to me anymore. Every character I play has higher mobility, with the exception of Veigar. I enjoyed him because I felt like if I made the perfect positional decisions, I could net in a kill and hopefully outrun their allies. I enjoyed this "wheel-less cannon" type idea, where you have one non-mobile assassin with more damage than the rest who could pick people that got too close. I find your rework of him to be against the core of what you are trying trying to do to the game.
I understand, you want people who play high mobility assassins to feel like they are playing some ninja assassin, and LCS big plays are a big part of what makes your game successful. But why did you do this to one of your clearly-defined characters? You have 40 assassins, like 30 adcs, more bruiser/tanks than anything. But veigar filled a niche nobody else could. This isn't a request for you to revert it, this is a goodbye. LoL was a beautiful game, and they've tried to keep it balanced for a long time. However, I find deceiving their audience and trying to call the little yordle's blatant removal a "rework" a slap in the face. Either they knew it was a lie, and hoped people wouldn't make too much of a fuss over it (more likely), or they actually, for a moment before they released it, thought this was a fair rework.
As one of your original players LoL, you have done a beautiful job for the most part. Just remember your community likes diversity in the future. Goodbye Rito
