People confuse "Being bad at League" with "Being strategic" so much these days
It's like 1 part funny, 6 parts sad, and 3 parts ironic.
"The game had so much variety before" pretty much translates to either "The game had some insanely broken shit like Cleaver stacking or Bami stacking or dodge stacking" or "We weren't good enough at League to punish people for doing stupid shit in League", cause it definitely ain't any ACTUAL desire to have the game center around strategic decision making.
