I think what's been forgotten is the fact that the forums do not represent the entire community, simply its most vocal segment. I know friends who hate the rework, and others who either liked it, and those who are indifferent to it. Different opinions on the rework do exist, but the only ones floating to the top right now are the negative ones.
I'm all for constructive criticism (and to be fair, I have seen a few), but most of these popular posts seem to be mostly subjective complaints. It's especially funny when anyone trying to play the devil's advocate is quickly dismissed as a shill or an ass kisser, simply because they posted an opinion that went against popular sentiment.
Anyway, I certainly hope changes will arrive, but please keep discussions civil. I honestly think Riot would be more conducive to opening discussions if people were actually rational over this, rather than acting like bulls in a china shop.
I'll probably get downvoted for this response, but wanted to get this off my chest. Keep it cool, guys. :)
