Riots recent philosophy

Over the last few years riot has been pushing more and more into moving away from difficult champions in favor of giving them consistent playstyles that deprive both fun and skill expression Azir changed into higher damage with less need to have hours sunk in to understand his kit Ryze Turned from a multiple combo based on circumstances champ to a 1 combo to either burst them down with or feed because of and most recently AurelionSol trying to make his W into a "bursty" ability

plus Kaisa has a little bit of everything so that shes even SOMEHOW noob friendly based on literally being able to pick half the items in the game and still succeed Vayne can just buy 1 item item 3153 and then 1v2 botlane with true damage jukes and cc to peel for herself Akali even riot cant fix this as proven by YET ANOTHER change Yuumi Despite her q being hard to land the fact that she is literally almost immortal in lane is disgusting and can be played very hands off Sylas has a huge heal so if you mess up somehow you can survive and do more damage Blitzcrank can now hook you from farther making it harder to get away from him and to even stay a safe distance away because Hexflash and his W Nunu Can now use his Q on champions which though a healthy change for Nunu's kit means he can do MORE DAMAGE because AP is so strong Malphite Living proof that AP is SO STRONG Mordekaiser and lets not forget about AP Darius and his KILL THEM ALL OR FEED rather than his quirky but beloved by his OG mains old kit

Even Shaco has changes on the PBE that make his damage happen sooner on his ult, which though the fear being harder to dodge is a good thing AOE DAMAGE + A FEAR procing after his clone dies INSTANTLY let that sink in

Soon even Kalista and Thresh will be given god level op abilities and dropped into the floor immediately afterwards because RITO loves messing up things the mains of the champions never asked for

In conclusion rather than try to find a healthy medium Riot would rather change things no one asked them to AurelionSol Ryze, strip a champion of everything that made them unique to streamline their kitMordekaiser , make champs so overloaded even a noob can carry on them Kaisa , or infinitely wage war against one champions kit rather than admit though it looks good the new kit is too hard to balance and was a failure on our partAkali .

So what does everyone else think about the state of things?
