As someone who tends to not like Riots decisions, I'm kinda happy about these.
This is not a hate post! It's a love post! Ya feel it?
I am actually kinda proud of their most recent decisions, like 1, bringing back solo queue, FINALLY, after an entire season of premades, i am so happy that i will just have to play with duos again, i didn't mind duos, most of the time they were a cute couple or something and it was enjoyable to watch them play regardless of outcome because they didn't hate everyone in 2 minutes. I never had an issue so much with the match making of different various ranks, as much as i just really hated those toxic premades that i more times than not ended up getting. Nothing worse than a 8vs2 because of a troll toxic trio on your team. Now if only we could get Team Builder back for when you really want to practice a specific lane and champ/role, let's face it, bots, is not practice, it's childs play, a 2 year old could beat intermediate bots 1vs5.
And 2, i'm really happy with the assassin rework, a lot of champs who need some touching up and tuning, are getting some much needed love, akali, ekko, kata, talon, rengar etc, i can't wait to see how these re-works pan out, the main issue with all of these champs is, they either dominated, or lost completely, or they fell out late game and became useless. So i am really happy to see some of my favorite assassins get touched up. Especially Kata, i really want to see what they can do with her, if they can make her not so faceroll, i would be happy. 1 thing a lot of people don't understand about Kata, is she requires timing, of which i see lots of people lack. I mean sure, it's still completely possible to faceroll and get a triple or something, but what sets good katas out from bad katas, is how fast they can make their moves, and how much they get out of it.
Now i am not trying to turn this into a debate about Kata taking or not taking any skill or timing, i am just reaaaaaally glad that the first champ i ever got a penta, as well as a hexa on, is finally going to be touched up and hopefully her reputation of being the faceroll king, will finally not be so faceroll, and require more and more talent in the TIMING department. Timing is so important for any champion, it's what sets apart the good and the bad players.
I mean hell, even devil teemo is coming out, let's just hope it comes out BEFORE Halloween, and not AFTER it by a month xD, Iv'e wanted this skin ever since i played Teemo.
So keep it up Rito, don't disappoint, you have for once a lot of GOOD things going on, instead of a whole season of BAD, you are introducing what so far looks to be a good upcoming season that i can really get into on both of my accounts again. Can't believe i actually am happy with Rito for once, now all they have to do is actually follow up with all this stuff, and i will be able to shut my mouth about solo queue and premades.
Plz plz plzzzzz don't be like last time where you promised solo queue and then didn't deliver, plz plz plzzzzz actually give it to us this time around, i am also really excited to see how you will handle the queue times that you said would be an issue, but also said you have some clever tricks up your guyses sleeve to try out on it.
[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] good on ya m8!
