Hello Morello, thanks for reaching out to us!

Have you taken a look around General Discussion lately? There are TONS of threads about this particular subject. As a courtesy to the rest of our community we try not to split conversations up into multiple threads, so I won't be able to give in-depth answers to these questions here.

Take a look in General Discussion and contribute your voice to the existing threads!

I mean, watch any Chinese high elo stream or tournament. He's everywhere there.

This is key - conventional wisdom is often proven wrong (a lot of the old EU meta transferred to NA after a major tournament), especially when other regions are showing the power of different characters. It's easy for people to assume the entire balance is only based on what's working or flavorful now, but there's surprises regularly that shake things up.

Ezreal's somewhere in there for NA - he's not worse than AD carries, he offers better skirmish and harass than other carries.

While I agree with you completely, it is kind of sad that you've ignored the initial topic of the thread.


Though to be fair, the formula was: Difficulty/Learning Curve + Fun Factor if I recall. Clearly ALL of your champions have had the appropriate mix of Fun and Difficulty in recent past to be worth 6300 IP.

Sorry, I don't have anything meaningful to contribute on the pricing stuff. Not really my area of expertise.

Then don't.

It IS a free to play game. They have 50% of players who dont spend a dime, your not gonna be so important that they cater their business plan to you
