Riot this is getting ridiculous

Ok, i've played this game since pre season 1, and this game has never had as many problems as it has recently. One thing I cannot stand, is that riot keeps spewing out more champions. It's not needed. Maybe once ever 4 months, but the rate they put them out is nothing but destructive. You're creating an even more massive learning curve to the game. Forcing newer playes to learn 100+ champions, that need to be nerfed/buffed/adjusted every patch because you cant seem to find balance.

When a game has no consistant stability and needs to be adjusted weekly, there is obviously an issue. You need to stop and figure out how to get it stable before adding a bunch of new champions. In this patch alone they have

broken nidalee, backwards swipes op broken varus, unable to Q op busted yasuo, broken panths W and their servers are horribly laggy and unstable. Constant disconnects every game from at least 2 or more players.

If you want to make something new, make maps. However I think the entire community would thank you if you fixed the known issues before adding more things. Also, make SURE there are no bugs before you add a new patch instead of "testing it" on us live.

Yeah you're not really right on this one. A lot of their time is now going to making us an entirely new Summoners Rift. So there's your map. And about all the bugs. What happens when code gets bigger and you keep adding to it...over...and over...more bugs appear. That's just common logic. They added Twisted Treeline, they added proving grounds (now howling abyss) they added game modes, champions, items, monsters, map. Code, code, code, code = much more bugs than there previously would have been back when the game was simple. There is no way to test for all bugs before a patch went live. That's why they have the PBE, to find the bugs before they go onto the main servers and the larger, more game-breaking ones are fixed. Trust me they catch a lot more than you will ever know. About server capabilities. I think a simple answer is the fact that there were a few hundred players to start, then thousands, then tens of thousands, now millions. Yeahhhhhh that's gonna mean lag and server stress and Riot cannot/will not replace the servers anytime soon. They may upgrade them for sure and try to revamp them if they can. But replacing them entirely is something people do not seem to understand. It's not easy. And wouldn't take just a few days of downtime.
