Riot is becoming the NFL.

And no one likes the NFL. Let me explain.

The NFL has balanced it's game around big flashy touchdown passes. They have done this by calling a penalty on anything that inhibits big flashy Aaron Rodger touchdown passes (not even a packer fan lol). This has caused many people to hate the NFL. We make fun of it. Call it flag football now. Anyway, bottom line is they orientated their game around big flashy touchdown passes. Football fans don't like this. No real football fan would rather watch the NFL over high school football, but I digress...

Riot has done the same thing. They have balanced their game around big flashy LCS champs cough Lee Sin cough Zed cough. We don't like this. It will eventually cause people to dislike Riot like we dislike the NFL. Difference is, there will be another game to play.

If you want this to hold up, you're going to have to be more explicit about the "big flashy touchdown passes" being inhibited.

I don't agree with the NFL part, to be honest. Big hits are considered AT LEAST as entertaining as touchdown passes.

Not to mention that I'm pretty sure anyone would rather see a HB break/ evade 10 tackles for 20+ yards, or a kick-return for a touch down, or even a Pick-6, over a hail mary touchdown.

Unless that hail-mary was game-winning; but that;s another story.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The only problem I have is that Riot is very biased on how they nerf champs. Eve gets nerfed in a heart beat. Lee on the other hand is "touchy". Why?

Considering the NFL still dominates TV and viewership numbers I would think that Riot becoming them would be incredible for the company.
