Riot is taking the thinking out of gameplay!

Buff camp timer? Seriously? Jungling is supposed to be harder! It is supposed to be something that one LEARNS to balance. Now minions have agro symbols! Really! Next we'll have the game shouting YOU ARE DIEING!!!! YOU ARE DIEING!!!! YOU NEED TO HEAL!!!! RECALL!!!! Then we'll get an idle animation for the Krugs where one takes a piss, and the big wolf licks his crotch. To top it all off, we'll have 'Generic Black Woman' voice yelling at you "AW DON'T GO IN THAT BUSH! HE IN THERE! THE BIG ALLIGATOR MAN IS IN THERE! AW LAUDY HE SCARY!!!"

First of all there is no difference between pressing tab to check a buff you had VISION OF being cleared and writing down the timer in the chat except for one was more annoying to find after 20 rage comments from that dude named Evongelo about not getting ganks top while he was humping the enemy tower the entire time.

Honestly this has been done so many times.

Game is supposed to be Player vs Player, everything besides player interaction should be aimed at setting the right flow of the game. Typing timers into the chat, tracking them on your phone or anything else is not a player interaction, neither does it affect the flow of the game. It's just a pointless chore. There is no skill to it, no strategy thinking.

It's like saying that we shouldnt see the turret hp, that we should learn to track it and adding it is taking the thinking out of the game

Lol so no counter argument, just people making baseless assumptions. I main jungle, so do you really think I'm one of the people whining about not getting ganks? I'm complaining about Riot removing any memory or management duties for players.

As for misspelling: really? Where exactly. I can't believe I wonder why the League community is so often found to be toxic and ignorant. Two of them just showed up on my post, and a few more upped their comments. Humanity is so disappointing lol

I am making a joke to emphasize that Riot is taking away game management responsibilities. We shouldn't have our hands held! A strategy game should maintain the need to strategize , not have everything tracked for you. It just feels like a dumbing down of the game instead of promoting ingenuity. They seem intent on focusing their efforts on superfluous "improvements" like minion agro symbols instead of balancing champs, game play flow, map layout, etc. The real problem of League lies in the fact that the outcome of games is decided early and not much can be done to change that. The chance for a team to use strategy and organization to turn the tide against the enemy is remote assuming the enemy does what they are supposed to do; a fact that is evident in pro matches.
