Champion and item balance has been shit for 8 months and you are getting ready to dump a massive amount of new changes into the game? When is season 6 going to start?

Hey man, it's totally normal for a game to completely rework classes of champions mid-way through the competitive ladder's standings.

Don't even think otherwise.

Oh, my bad, there isn't a competitive ladder anymore, we're all good here.

I wouldn't mind it if they didn't just keep adding things in like they are balancing and changing in a vacuum, but they still haven't fixed all the problems they introduced from preseason.

  • Overtuned Marksman items and Marksman (We all know the ones).
  • Towers still going to be paper thin even with the upcoming changes.
  • They are swapping out one problem for another with the dragon changes and the visible timers on buffs.
  • Changing Rift Herald in hopes it will dissuade pro play lane swaps (with seemingly no care for the impact on the non pro playing of the game)
  • The increase in jungle xp, again completely ignoring that they are doing it mainly for pro play (they've said as much) but ignoring the HUGE impact that is going to have on ranked. You can get lvl 5 with a single clear, not counting scuttle or xp from other sources.
  • The mage item changes are going to make some mages better and so many others even weaker against strong tanks and assassins (that are already coming WAY back into popularity right now).

I don't mind changes when they are needed, but as I said in the preseason, they seem to be making changes for the sake of changes. It seems a bit excessive and a bit silly to add ALL of this all at once...in the middle of the season...when problems they introduced still haven't been fixed or addressed.

Season 6 is over. At this point just go ahead and test everything and let season 7 be the real season after 5.

I might quit for good or until season 7 if riot keeps this mess of a season going the way it is. They haven't taken the time to balance it all out. Always adding unneeded content.

Adcs in every lane, ad assassins crowding out mages, tanks with 500 true dmg ults, sunfire ruining top lane balance, and the gimped mastery system.

Towers are paper, and getting dove or camped is unfun. Games snowballing off of global gold, and dragon buffs. A houst of unbalanced/poorly designed champions. Gutted vision and support gameplay.

Please don't get me started on the que that will not be named.

Riot just strikes me as the sort of company that has gotten to fat, and refuses to listen to its customer base.

They decided to make all of season 6 preseason 7 instead.

Season 6? More like season 666.

Honestly at this point probably never. I honestly am so annoyed playing this game. The jungle is changing so drastically and so frequently that its simply frustrating to play. I hate that I can't just fucking q up and grab whatever champ I want to play that I enjoy playing. Staying ahead of the FOTM champs for jungle is like a fucking part time job.
