League community: We hate tanks being tanky.

Riot: Oh wow, really? I mean, sure. Now tanks aren't tanky anymore. Enjoy.

League community: %#@^ WTF Riot, why damage meta!1!!1!!

..............

Obviously, that's a gross oversimplification, and not only that, that skipped the problems of Riot to make a comedic point. The reality is a lot messier than that.

I think the problem is in the end of the day, 2-sided. Neither Riot nor the community know what they want out of League.

And you wonder why League is in such a god damn mess. From broken champ design and balance, broken offence and defence balance, broken range and melee balance, broken AD and AP balance, broken income and snowball curve, broken runes, broken itemisation diversity as a whole, broken in-game objectives, broken, broken, broken.

Meh, it's more just having a playerbase this large means many people have many different views on how things should work. And people really are only vocal, when their niche is the one getting hurt by the current game state which leads to changes which leads to others upset

The problem with tank meta wasn't tanks being too tanky, it was tanks 1 cycling champions because of their absurd base stats and numbers on abilities. getting 3 shot by voli combo or 1v4'ed by sejuanni damage was the problem with the tank meta, not them being tanky.

I mean I enjoy the "tank" meta after they slightly nerfed cinderhulk.

Probably one of them best metas I've played in (been playing since mid Season 1)

I don't think it's that players don't know what they want, it's that everybody plays different champs, so they have competing ideals. What's more, flashy champs are both the most loved, but also the most hated, because they get overloaded or overtuned kits so riot can sell more skin or get more viewership in pros.

I like playing ARAM a lot, I got a good amount of champs I can play decently due to ARAM, at times ARAM seems almost perfect in balance but at others its blatantly one sided. I have 39 champs bought.

In my personal experience I like balancedish match ups. I LIKE a good match where it was a tooth and nail fought match.

Ah fun times, when Kennen single handedly handicaped every single spellthief support all by himself since Riot didn't see any better way to correct him taking the item into sololane.

Don't forget Karma item 3303 Oo! Or Vladimir Singed item 2065 Or that short time when most ADCs were taking item 3302 to lane as their starting item. :)

It's just kinda the way it's always been.

This is true, they have often, very often, pushed through ideas that anyone should with minimal thought invested should have known they´d end on a really.......unfortunate note.

You would think they would acrtually test the things they want to implement as well.

There have been many cases where its so obvious they did literally 0 internal testing.
