Too beginner friendly

Alright, this may be an unpopular opinion or unwanted. But an opinion nonetheless.

In my opinion the game is becoming too beginner friendly, and I understand as I to was a beginner at one point, but it makes learning the game less rewarding, for example; champions are becoming too easy to play such as Malzahar who's passive basically eliminates cc so players don't have to worry about the map or approaching ganks (something that separated the good players from the others), or Veigar's passive making it too easy to earn AP as well as the new item that basically gives every mage without an escape, an escape.

The game is becoming less rewarding for the players that have mastered champions or the timings of game as it can easily be mimicked by newer players.

I don't understand quite what you're saying. What I'm hearing is "I don't want people to be able to learn the game." There's still plenty of strategic depth, and some random newbie will not be able to suddenly pick up Malzahar and carry a game.

I understand where you're coming from and what Riot is trying to do. But the way I see it is champions that were difficult to learn or to use properly are being made easier in the areas where they shouldn't be. In the case of malzahar is that he was always OP but people could play against him was because he didn't have an escape. But now that is being taken away, now he is purely OP. And I do want people to play and learn to love the game as much as I do, but I love it for the challenge of learning difficult champs and learning to play the map properly.

I agree that the CC imunnity is broken, but that doesn't mean it suddenly takes no skill at all. The "OMG free escape" I haven't really seen have much of an effect on gameplay. It sounds like this is just a reaction to the (largely minor) mage changes.

I agree that skill is still required, but my point was that it takes less skill now because of the changes and it takes less time to master a champion and it's less rewarding for some. Hence why it's an opinion.
