why pay cash again?

so , Ive been playing this game a while now. I can go on like everyone about the differences in metas and playstyles. I'm more a fan of the PvE thing here , but its not really my issue.

but seriously , why should I ever give RIOT money again? I've bought champions and I've bought skins. in EVERY SINGLE CASE i regret it.

tweaking characters , minor mods for balance , sure. TOTAL reworks of a champion so that it no longer behaves like the one i paid for? to me , thats bait and switch. IF , IF , a new concept was needed , make a new champion.

artwork? could you imagine , paying for a nice oil painting only to have the one delivered being a print? never once are we given the option of having the art we paid for saved/used/kept. nope , if we buy a skin or art ... relax , sooner or later someone from riot will come by and replace the things you like with crap that you dont.

my advice to anyone starting this game .... DONT BOTHER PAYING ANYTHING......

This post is ridiculous. Do you remember Sion pre rework? How about Yi? Karma? All of them perform and look SUBSTANTIALLY better. It would be far more upsetting to leave a character that you paid for in the dark ages of LoL instead of bringing them into the current health/meta.

actually , I DONT agree with you. in most cases the only thing needed to adjust power strengths are minor tweaks to keep champions viable. So far , as long as I've been playing , champion reworks have been at best a 50/50 proposition.

of the 3 you mentioned ... Sion got destroyed. although i do like the new passive. Yi still has a very similar feel to me , and i dont play karma. recently ... cassiopeia got wrecked but victor was pretty good thematically.

honestly i dont care much about the tuning of numbers. janna got a revamp that was just that.

I'm about 50/50 on the champions I've bought.

any of the lackluster champions , the ones that under perform can all be brought into competitiveness with some very simple numbers teaks. but , if there is no dev sponsor who wants it then it wont happen. ALL OF THE CHANGES have nothing to do with balance or bringing them into the meta , or even QoL development issues. they are done PURELY based on favoritism of play style. cassiopia is the latest and greatest example of this.

artwork changes in my mind have been HORRIBLE. lets lower the quality and call it an improvement. splash art should be something you can keep no matter the circumstances. but , maybe their servers cant handle holding all that extra memory the splash art takes.

I just think its horribly dishonest all the way around.
