ALL Chat’s prepping for preseason by talking about how it feels to learn the game you love all over again. Preseason’s a scary time when champions change and strategies form, but with so much change comes the potential for great things. We dive into the preseason and figure out what we love about League changing so drastically from year to year.

How’s your preseason going so far, and which changes are you looking forward to the most?

Alright, I'm going pretty off-topic with this but I'm really just confused. Am I the only one who doesn't understand what Riot was thinking with Yasuo? I mean we've all had a game or two against a Yasuo where we get mad and say he's super op and it's not fair. But the more I think about it the more I realize just how stupid he is as a champion. A passive that blocks all incoming damage for a while and is up against every 10-15 seconds, a passive that doubles... DOUBLES his crit chance (meaning he needs 2 items to get 100% crit chance...), practically unlimited dashes, a knockup every 5 seconds, a shield that blocks EVERY SINGLE THING, an ult that gives him 50% armor penetration... the more I think about his kit the more I realize he is an entirely unbalanced champ. Just really confused on what Riot was thinking with this guy. Trying to see it from their view and not really getting a grasp on it. Does Yasuo take skill to play? No, no he doesn't. That's a fact and if you don't agree than sorry but that's just the honest truth. Can very skilled players pull off crazy awesome plays with him? Yes, absolutely. But he doesn't take skill to be good at. I mean you have a shield to catch you when you mess up in lane... Yasuo has way too many advantages and virtually ZERO disadvantages. He's entirely not fair in the game and ruins the fun of it. Any answers as to what Riot was and is thinking with this sad excuse of a champ would be appreciated. Thanks guys! <3

Do people really enjoy learning a new game every season?

I'm hoping that there will be a new overhaul for the assassins soon. We already have juggernauts and marksmen but I'm really interested to see how they handle mages and assassins. At least if they do end up doing it. I already see some synergy with items that work well for squishy characters but we will need to wait and see.

I like seeing changes but I wish they would have rolled these out over a longer period of time. League has so much to keep up with to begin with. You can't realllllllly be a casual gamer and expect to be great at League; which kinda sucks.

Graves can have his cigar, but Graves can't have his cigar?

Honestly these complaints about yasuo are a little out of hand. Is not the champion that's broken,its the mechanincs the preseason has brought to him. His kit might be overloaded, yes, but it's always been about high risk, high reward.

I guess the problem with him NOW is that while his early game was kinda weak before he got a Statikk Shiv, now he just needs a Brawlers Glove, the Warlord's Bloodlust and Vampirism masteries to hurt at early levels.

Honestly, I would tell people to chill, the fact that RIOT doesn't adresses this every single "NERF YASUO AND TRYND, OMG" post is most likely they know how the community thinks and are working to balance things out when the preseason ends.

On the meantime, there ARE ways to counter most champs, even when they exist on their own hyper state, ways to comeback from a seemingly lost game, etc. I'd say, just keep commenting and posting about your experience with the preseason changes, it'll get to RIOT, no doubt, but be, before all things, patient, and respectful.

Rito has just finally lost it, things were reasonably acceptable at the end of the previous season and they just threw that all out the window with this post season. I've been playing since season 2 and i've never seen a worse post season, which leads me to believe rito's dev team had a conversation like "Welp its end of the season, we did decent job of keeping things not overly broken.... OK BREAK OUT THE TINFOIL HATS, LETS SCREW IT UP WORSE THEN BEFORE!"

Can a riot employee tell me why trailblazer was removed. I think it was a great item and was fun to use on jg champs that don't have good cc to camps like Fizz or (yes i do play Kassadin jg it op af especially with riftwalk and his slow ganks are op). Anyways i just don't see the purpose of trailblazer being removed. It was a good item. I mean riot has removed mana pots, which was a dumb idea considering that there are champs that rely on mana like Ryze . Veigar is a champ that uses a crap ton of mana and relies on his q to get stronger and if he is out of mana then he will have to constantly recall to get mana which is terrible considering hes leaving his lane alone. TBH Veigar doesn't need anymore counters. He already has a shit ton of counters. Zed Talon Fizz and much more. so trailblazer and mana pots shouldn't have been removed.
