Things I hate about League or Riot despite how much I love them

1.) Urgot still hasn't gotten his rework (hopefully soon!!!)

2.) How long it took to give Warwick/Yorick their reworks.

3.) Riot's over all lackadaisical attitude towards reworks, Riot definitely has a select list of champions that they like and will pay attention to, seemingly leaving others out to the dust. If Riot cannot figure out a good way to rework a champion, instead of knuckling down and figuring it out they just shelf it to move on to new content. It is exactly this reason why Yorick and Warwick took so long.

4.) Lack of diversity in summoner spells. Remember when teleport had a cooldown reduction when teleporting to allied turrets? But then riot nerfed it because it was getting to the point where summoner 4 summoner 12 was the only combination taken in game. Meanwhile five flashes is standard in 100% of all games. On top of this they removed clarity and clairvoyance strictly because they were not viable, not because they were broken, not because they were glitchy, just because they were not being used a lot. So instead of taking a look at the other summoner spells, they simply removed those two. It was overall a stupid idea, and just a shitty move.

5.) Hitboxes on certain champions or certain projectiles are still fucked up. Jinx is pretty bad at this since the hit box on her ult is almost twice the size of the rocket and there are still those occasional times where zap! hits you but looked like it didn't.

6.) AD vs AP itemization. I'm not asking for exact duplicates of AD items for AP mages but there is still a immense lack of build paths available for mages that are behind that provide some defense and damage and/or cdr and/or mana.

7.) Turrets still do physical damage.

8.) Turrets are still pathetic.

do you work there? If not, how can you say with any confidence how their team doing reworks handle things? Just because a rework doesn't happen for a while, doesn't mean they shelf it and move on. It could very easily just mean they're trying out different things, and nothing they're doing is turning out quite how they want it to.

7 & 8 deserve to be, and are worth, 7 - 1000.

Number 3 has happened so much, too bad most of the new players don't notice it.
