How to properly handle overhauls and major character re-works a discussion on a growing problem

Dear Riot Games It has come to my attention that you currently plan to do a series of tweaks to many in-game characters but I ask for you to step back and think about how this affects the player base and not just people in worlds.

I understand balance tweaks need to be done here/there that is an inevitability; however you need to remember two very important aspects of league. Its not completely about balance its more about teamwork. (Otherwise Yasou would remain how he is with a 500 end game hp slash) secondly most people become accustomed to playing a character and often cannot re-reach they had in the previous patches.

Another solution to this problem is allow multiplayer training mode so players can devise strategies and techniques around the re-works and tweaks. This would also help players foster teamwork and would give the trolls a playground. At any rate as it stands if you continue to press so many changes to the game without some kind of poll and ignore the players who have quit due to dislike or contempt for these changes you will eventually fall into the same issues combat arms had. (You should read the rise and fall of Combat Arms Nexon - It mainly talks about hackers but also how the community eventually tired of the many changes no one requested.)

Another solution is you could make tutorials and have an updated match-up table that you have noticed. With anything new or any levels of growth their is always going to be caveats. I love League of Legends but I too am starting to experience burn out because to many under the hood changes are being released but I do not want to keep re-learning these changes. I implore you Riot do not keep posting changes for the sake of changes. I ran an amazing Minecraft server back in the day but due to the amount of changes I made daily people got tired of trying to play. Your doing the same thing as I did. You are tiring your player base out.

I believe it would be good if training mode was combined with custom mode, so multiple "cheats" could be put in, like unlimited money, unlimited mana, no cooldowns, etc. This is the already successful idea implemented by Icefrog's DOTA 2 for the past few years and is held in wide regard as a fantastic multiplayer training-tool.

You don't need this because you can use Practice Tool to train yourself and become accustomed to new changes, and you can eventually move into Custom Matches and Bot Matches for AI, and then Normals when you need to learn teamwork. This post is asking for redundancy.
