Dear Riot, Please Nerf League

Dear Riot,

　　Thank you for creating League of Legends. Over the time I have played this game I have thoroughly enjoyed it and still do to this day. However, something is missing, or rather, something needs to be taken away or dealt with.

　　I first started playing league around the time that Winter Wonderland Orianna was on the login screen. League was great. I became completely enamored with all the champions, items, lore, gameplay, heck even the community was great. For some reason though things are different now and I think I know the reason why. Do you remember when you were a kid on the playground and everyone got on the merry-go-round? It started out really slow, boring, and not many people enjoyed it. Then another kid shows up to push it faster. Suddenly things get a lot more interesting and more people jump on. Soon everyone is having the time of their lives. One kid pushing the ride notices that everyone liked it when he went faster so he tells his friends to go even faster. At first everyone loves the increase of speed, but eventually it starts to get too fast and eventually everyone gets sick. The ride doesn’t stop though. It just get faster. This little playground story is how I picture League. In the very beginning there weren’t a whole lot of people playing, the graphics weren’t fantastic, and it wasn’t really what it was meant to be at the time. Then some improvement happened, then some more, and finally League is practically being played as a worldwide sport. Riot noticed what players enjoyed in the game and decided to keep adding to it. The result is it becomes even better. Yet, the “improvement” doesn’t stop. New champions, items, skins, reworks, and several other things start to appear at almost a weekly to monthly rate (depending on whether it’s a champions/skin/etc). Things are moving too fast now. The game is falling into chaos and to make matters worse the amount of toxic players in game is horrifying. When I first started to play I maybe ran into one to two toxic players in an entire week or more. Now I can’t play a single game without running into at least one toxic player either on our team or the enemy team. Don’t get me wrong I still love to play league and it is a fantastic game, but it feels as if Riot is trying shove as much content as possible as fast as they can. I don’t mean to beat up any Riot employees. The amount of time and effort they put into their work for the players is a lot more than people give them credit for. Despite this, I still can’t help but notice the dramatic change in what league was a year ago to what it is now today. There may be some players out there saying that league was way better S2 or S3 and there may be some saying the like it the way it is now. This is just my personal opinion of what League has become. So Riot when I said “Nerf League” it’s all in a joking manner, but I do wish things would slow down a bit. Also when I mention Toxicity I will admit that I am responsible for some as are most summoners. We all have our days. But back when I first started playing, the community was a million times greater than what it is now. Again I want to make a note that I am in no way criticizing Riot workers for what they do.
