I don't understand how you could let this happen, Riot. We all saw the signs after the fiasco that was Season 6. We all cried out and begged for you to stop going down the path you'd chosen, but your minds were made. Did anyone even show up to the office when you all hit the drawing board for this recent preseason, let alone for the launch of Season 7? You still haven't even addressed the issues that made last season so freaking terrible, brushing it under the rug and plopping a bunch of stupid troll game modes is over it is not a solution. Having witnessed your recent behavior, though, it isn't entirely unexpected.



Gertrude's ban rate in ranked is a whopping 93%. NINETY THREE, RIOT. She has been dominating mid lane since season 5. The sustain on her passive is bad enough, but landing her Cosmic Wind/Daze combo is easier than launching the game. Who the hell thought that it would be a good idea to give that a 2.5 second stun that scales with AP? Break Reality has to be the stupidest ultimate in the game. Riot, do you understand that her Q/E alone is a 2.5 second stun WITHOUT AP? If she lands all four charges of Break Reality then she can stun someone for 6.5 seconds WITHOUT AP. This champ alone is reason enough to call LoL broken, but you just wouldn't stop there.



Orion overshadows every jungler out there with his Q alone (dat homing grab, sorry Blitz), Monolith is unbeatable top lane and can win a game with one well-placed ult even after feeding the enemy team, and I'm still convinced that Hope is Riot's way of admitting this game is dead (here, let me revive my entire team, LOL balanced!)



Look, I don't want to turn this into a rant about champions. Despite the fact that you can get reported now for not playing one of these OP champions, this really is the least of your worries.



The entire population is split playing a bunch of your stupid troll game modes and now it takes 5 minutes just to play a normal 5v5 on Summoner's Rift. Defensive Stats and Resistances are basically stupid after you added Inevitable End and Storm of Ages. Dealing with supports rushing Divine Right and AD Carries rushing Never Relent was bad enough in Season 6, but Season 7 has a whole slew of overpowered items and the broken items from Season 6 still haven't changed.



Practically every champion has some form of true damage (and if they don't then they can just build it, true damage items so balanced).



Queue times for a Ranked Game are 5 minutes on a good day (I've waited as long as 10). And even if I do make it in a game, someone dodges if Gertrude isn't picked.



Skin prices are skyrocketing because changing the colors on Fennek's Moonlight skin really warrants $25, doesn't it?



There are maybe 12 or 15 champions out of your 141 that are played anymore.



All the pros have moved on and the eSports scene for LoL is dwindling (don't deny it, Riot. Your viewing numbers are HoN low, and that's being generous).



And the worst part is, you don't seem to care. Everything about Season 7 is worse than Season 6, just like everything about Season 6 was worse than Season 5. I would give so much to have Season 4 again, but I know it can never be.



So, this is my goodbye to the game I once loved.



Never forget.



EDIT: Riot pretty much made anything bannable in the recent years, but upvoting without bumping still isn't. Still doesn't mean you should do it.



EDIT 2: 50 Upvotes, guys. I expect the Nazi GD mods to delete this thread soon (they hate it when we call out what horrible people they are). My account will probably get banned soon, too. Prophet Seven is ready to go, though.



EDIT 3: Surpassed 50 upvotes, account still intact. Let's see how far we can get.



EDIT 4: 100 upvotes. I see some black vans parked outside of my appartments. If I disappear suddenly then yo
