Regardless of individual buff/nerf opinions, legitimately the best patch notes in a LONG time

u/Dovagedys was saying that people don't give positive feedback enough, so here you go.

These changes made the new set legitimately the most exciting set since maybe Bilgewater. The meta seems like it will see such a huge shift, that tomorrow is going to be a homebrewer's wet dream.

Obviously, some nerfed cards are going to be too weak, and some buffed cards will become too strong. Maybe the top decks will still remain in their top slots. Doesn't matter. I'm looking to 2.13 to see if Riot continues with a great philosophy like this. If they do, then tomorrow's dominant decks will be short lived anyway. It's reinvigorated confidence.

It's now on Riot to monitor and tune these changes. Obviously some cards might still see very little play, but others are going to hit the meta in a big way, which I think most players can agree is super exciting.

Even if some people might disagree with certain changes, or if some buffs/nerfs are pointless, or maybe were mistakes, the playerbase will have so much more confidence in the state of the game, and will care so much less about any over/underperforming cards if we feel like patches are going to be a regular fixture.

TL;DR: Riot, don't stop at one big patch like this. WE WANT MORE.

    This is a supes well thought out and written post, and I'm excited to hear about all the cool decks you're already brewing!

    I also wanted you to know that I will now forever refer to him as Doggy D in every situation I can get away with. Thank you for this most bountiful gift.

    I can confirm that he's already calling me Doggy D in multiple conversations.

    Thanks for the positivity, /u/NoFurtherObligations. I'm excited to see what you brew up!

    I feel like Doggy d is being genuine when he communicates with us; ie he’s accurately reporting his lived experience. We want him to believe us when we tell him Azirelia is unfun, so I think it’s courteous to believe him here, if you agree with my pretences.

    What I’m saying is, I do believe him when he says there has been a lot of negativity lately! They had bad feedback about the skins and balance, people were mad for a long time (to KDA levels). I would like to contribute to positivity in the community given the excess of negativity (which I know I contributed to re balance, and I think fairly).

    I am SO excited about these changes! I’ve been playing Tally out of contrivance since release, and I’m seeing her buffed twice!! I have a Taric Tally meme deck I’m SO excited to try. And I want to piss around with the grant scout burst spell!! And I’m going to get my friend back into the game who loves ELNUKS. I am really pumped for this patch.
