They really fucked up with the 'shop' update, huh?

Imagine their rationale removing incredibly characteristic and staple classic items, present in the game since closed alpha for no good reason at all.

You just know that the developer who came up with this is a diversity hire.

dumping everything at once is just a stupid thing to do.
Y ou change all item icons, most major items and overhaul the gui to something straight from a shitty mobile game.

old shop was pure comf and easy to navigate, fuck these icon-based navigating systems.

im mad that they killed essence reaver. that item was core to every fucking ad champ i play...

This. I miss the honest, simple champion designs of old. Now everything has to be overdesigned shit for walls of text for each tooltip and overloaded kits full of random bullshit. They want everything to be LCSbigplays bait shit. To this day I'm mad about ruining Fiora, that old ult was so fucking fun with the old tiamat.

What happened?

the only thing that riot did right here is actually teach itemization through the shop. no one really tells you from the jump that itemization is a key part in playing the game and most new people just go crazy with it. ik the new changes are there bc wild rift's coming out but the shop changes were okay imo.

you do realise the old system did exactly that aswell?
Most retards toggled it off.

see you tomorrow when you're back on league lmao

The game has bad desing since season 3

its not a Moba but a fighter game, no strategy, the champions don't have a proper balance on attributes some adc's have more hp melee champs, fastest champs has more hp that the slower ones, champs with free spells(energy cost are free spells too) and all abilities are micro-inpactful. there not champion with a expensive cost, overwhelming/crushing/shattering ability, everything feels "microscopic"

>client still always broken
>bug warning icon has more skins than 20+ champs
>only tiddy and edgelord champs being released
>multi-year development behavioral system still not good as tribunal
>rage streamers dictating gameplay

theyve revamped every single item in a massive update
honestly im excited, they did the same thing with dragon soul last year and it made the game a lot better

all it did was tell you what the item does rather than what it's good against and when to build it.

I can tell you're a Bronze 4 shitter by the way you bitch about Zed lmao

>only tiddy and edgelord champs being released
and none of those tiddy champs have managed to be better than Ahri

It's live?

I actually like it for a change. Tell me, of the last 10 champs they made, how many do you actually fucking play? How many are just "Strong empowered independent woman" "Edgy edgelord mcedge" Or "UwU egirl bait?" With pathetic rehashes of previous kits or concepts? MOST OF THEM. I play Urgot, Morde, Hecarim, Darius, Kayn, Swain and a few select others, they can make 20 new champs and one might interest me. This set of changes though? I actually have a different in game experience now. I have different build paths to explore, and the game feels like if I get ahead in lane I can fucking DO SOMETHING with it. Not just wait for my laner to respawn and kill him again. Leads actually matter when the first item is this strong.

You mean the game is even more of a nowballfest now?

>Thanks though, it finally made me quit this shit.
I had similar thoughts after my first match. There were so many things that were already making me want to quit and this was the straw that broke the camels back.
Even the new art looks like soulless CCP crap

Yes, as it fucking should be, especially for the solo lanes. I'd like to be rewarded for pounding a Garen player so hard he can't even cs under tower properly, but no, I have to play out the lane and watch as my bot lane feeds a Vayne to the point where she just 3 taps me as a fed bruiser and there's not enough gapclosers in the world to stop her. There should be no scenario in which I go 5-0 as Morde and have a 4K gold lead on my laner and get told by the game to sit down and fucking wait. Riftmaker gives me the ability to brute force my way to a victory, and yknow what? That's what this game has been missing since S4, an acknowledgement of BRUTE FUCKING FORCE. They've discarded it in favor of these sweaty hyper mobile tryhard champs dashing their way around the map dodging EVERYTHING and playing it off as skill. Akali having 5 fucking repositions, a Protobelt, and Zhonyas isn't fun to fight.

Did they dumb the game down even further this time?
Can't have our sheep think too hard about items choices now, can we

>a fed anti tank shouldnt kill the fed tank reee
damn bro, really activates the almonds

Continued. I think people would just have more fun if every champion made to be like Akali and Leblanc were just fucking removed. If you want to fight, you actually have to go balls deep into the enemy comp, not just tickle them with retarded cc and fuck off with your built in blink/clone/dashspam bullshit like a pussy. Nobody enjoys getting huge as Darius just for some faggot assassin/mage/whateverthefuck to just zoom around him and whittle him down despite his fuck you levels of damage. THAT's what S11 is fixing. And thank god for that.

>B-b-but I should be able to play Teemo in every lane if I want to
Fuck off retard

Teemo players should be permabanned. Fuck the "Report for toxicity" faggotry, report people for playing that fucking rat.
