This upcoming season is going to suck I think

-GD is more uppity than usual thanks to some of the recent announcements -(Insert champ A)'s rework was horribly messed up so I've got little faith in (insert champ B)'s upcoming rework -balance team doesn't understand the players (see the last point), to the point I think that the general industry AAA contempt for the playerbase is starting to set in at riot -fighters and adc balance is still out of whack -tank junglers are still weak -top lane is a mess and riot's plans for it are MIA -The lore has been murdered and buried beside jimmy hoffa -Only IronStylus' team and the new skins teams do great jobs anymore (Cass's VU has a few small issues though, the new desparada needs to be a new skin instead of a rework). -The new champ team is okay to good (still need a scythe girl and a dancer champ)

Bleh.

I know there are some people happy with the changes, but riot has really decided to go into full polarization mode. Things are going to be rough for awhile.

I think the OP makes some good points. Not so much about GD touchiness, but the consistently BAD decision-making from the balance and rework teams.

Outside of GD being infuriated (because who cares, honestly) and community created champion archetypes that only a dedicated group wants, I do have to agree on some points. But;

  • you cant make reworks without people complaining
  • lore is already dead and almost entirely fan made so if anything it can only change for good
  • wont speak of balance, there are good and bad moments, but community's complaining is always painful to read because everyone are so damn convinced they could do everything better -some new skins are ok even if they lose detail, some make me confuse old and new model (ex jade fang cass) -i dont know about tank junglers being weak, more like underplayed.

But yeah, top lane, adcs and fighter rework. I dont see hope for this. Especially with Trist going into worlds as she is now, with 60% winrates across the regions an stuff.

No, but you can do your best to get the champ riot, both mechanically and theme wise. They are failing on these issues.

I've played the following champs that have seen, or about to see one kind of rework or another: Ahri Cassiopeia Evelynn Nidalee Sejuani Sona Soraka . Zero home runs in that group. This isn't counting champs like Karma who I haven't really had a chance to play. I don't want riot to even come close to Poppy because I'm starting to like her and I know riot's balance team can't get anything right ATM.

It's only dead because riot has been killing it off for awhile.

wont speak of balance, there are good and bad moments, but community's complaining is always painful to read because everyone are so damn convinced they could do everything better

But when the whole community is saying you are doing it wrong, maybe you are doing it wrong. Like with item 3508.

i dont know about tank junglers being weak, more like underplayed.

Their itemization and clear have issues as well as problems with the meta. You either want a CC jungler, a bruiser/assassin like Vi, or a carry like Yi right now. No one wants them and there aren't the items for them right now.
