It's...nothing?
It's two patches until Worlds and every patch is...nothing?
3/5 Roles in the game right now have deep deep systemic issues (Top/ADC/Supp), to the point they are completely non-functional in many games.
Surely they at least do something before Worlds right...?
The more I read Riot Phroxzon's view on what's healthy for the game, the more I don't think I want to play the game Phroxzon wants League to be.
I'll actually put effort into this response rather than just shitposting on Twitter for once:
I'm sorry, but I don't want Riot optimising for "frustration" because you think it'll bring longevity.
I'm sorry but I don't think powerful Mages Bot and Ranged Top bring "essential texture + variety" to League's experience.
I'm sorry, but I think the constant hyperfixation with Pro-Play and endless changes explicitly for them make League a significantly worse game for the rest of us.
I'm sorry, but by contrast the absolutely glacially slow rate of changes for SoloQ and the average player feel even worse.
Needing months of data with the current "lets wait and see!" approach results in routinely nothing being done about problems for 6+ months (People have been quitting Top Lane all season, Riot still have no immediate plans to fix this).
And even with all that data, they still make the most bizarre and inexplicable choices (Graves is literally being buffed next patch...?)
The game has felt like it's been managed by ChatGPT for the past year, it feels like a complete waste of time to be completely honest with you.
I truly believe both Riot and the playerbase have the same desire, to make the best version of League of Legends possible.
I just think this Live Pod's vision for the "best version of League" is fundamentally at odds with a huge huge amount of the current playerbase.
I think for many of it's most dedicated players, Riot Phroxzon's view of what League should be is not a game many of us want to play.
I think that's very sad.
I guess it is what it is.
I could swear to god there was a time where mages were poke champs and it was the job of assassins to do “burst damage.” I’m not really sure where this idea of a relationship between mages bursting ADCs came from? It makes absolutely zero sense why they’re able to have infinite attempts to do this from a 1200g item component. Mana management is supposed to be skill expression, as is dodging abilities to spend the opponents’ mana.
Furthermore, 3 magic resist is effectively 2% less damage in lane from magic damage. It does nothing to address the lack of interaction when a mage decides to simply explode the minion waves in 0.02 seconds. Mages are so safe in lane and in mid/late game they’re able to take teleport. This is all problematic and this patch does nothing to address any of the concerns of the community.
The berserker greaves buff does nothing for ADC in bot lane. It is a buff to ranged top and mid laners. ADCs best boots will still be plated steelcaps or gluttonous greaves.
The fleet footwork buff is useless. The only ADC that can sacrifice the damage of PTA and Lethal Tempo is Jhin, and he has a negative winrate against mages bot.
@RiotPhroxzon Why do you have such a lack of urgency about the state of Top?

Fleet/Zerkers is a huge buff for ADC Top too..?
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
