Yeah, poor Ashe was pushed out of viability by those fancy new champs Ezreal and Corki.

man I don't even wanna deal with you. your complaints are so trite and inconsistent with all the effort that has been put into this game.

I disagree on many points.

They slowed it down.

This is true.

Twitch, TF, Jax, Heimer, Xin Zhao, Vayne...old champs were BROKENLY OP.

What?
DoTA2 is WAY harder for newbies.

It is true that in LoL you don't start out with all the champs and most champs are 6300IP--my only complaint. But you can have a dozen 450 champs to start with..

Only half of the old champions are really outclassed by newer champions, there are still many that remain viable and competitive.

Alistar, Blitzcrank, Taric, Corkie, and Karthus are still incredibly game-changing despite being with LoL from the begining.

Mobility creep just seems like something that's happened because there are more champions rather than speedy champions, Ezreal was around the 3rd champion released in the bi-weekly pattern Riot started, and he's one of the most mobile champions out there. Nidalee and Kassadin are notable for being highly mobile as well. With enough mobile champions it just seems mobility was gravitated towards for QOL benefits more than anything else, then started defining the meta. As far as mobility goes though, I haven't seen much Ahri in this tournament and she's one of the few mages with mobility.

dude they have so much money they don't even know what to do with it they don't need to milk us.

if the wanted they could slow down champion production maybe they should

they are reworking many of the old ones.

i like how people forget all the other very successful remakes that have happened, but they must bring up how twitch's remake wasnt perfect.

Beat me to it.

Simply put, OP. you've made an assumption (ie we don't care about the health of the game) and then built an evidence set to support that. If you actually were looking to see what was happening, you'd look for a pattern and then develop a conclusion based on that evidence. And simply put, there isn't a problem here you can point out that makes sense.

Is balance perfect? No (and it won't be, but it's something we have a whole team of dudes that works on it). We support our old stuff all the time, especially with balance and reworks. "There's a few bad champs that are old" is not a thesis - it's an accurate observation that is counter to the pattern of us spending a lot of time and effort on the existing game. It's not like we're monetizing that stuff either.

If you're mad about something, or don't understand something, ask; I'm happy to talk about it. Don't tell us what we do and don't care about unless you have some damned fine analysis to back it up - is discredits your posts and buries your concerns in Red Herrings.

1) Pretty sure at least half the top tier consists of champions at least a year and a half old. Most common bans: Blitz, Alistar, Shen, Malphite, Morgana, and then some new champion or Ezreal. And guess who was picked just about every time they weren't banned in the tournaments today? Blitz.

2) Nothing today is as strong as old TF, patched Udyr, old Ezreal, hell even patched Janna.

3) There are still only 5 champion slots per team.

4) What about the super OP old champions?

5) 6) Your only valid points here.

Yeah, and 2 of the champions that replaced her are old.

Kayle is a very strong top and had Dyrus picked her possibly would've made a world of difference today.

Do you realize that one of the most common causes of blatant OP comes from old champions getting reworked or buffed?

Cmon Morello its been like 7 hours since Irelia beat Jayce top and you still havent nerfed either of them

Get down to business
