    Main takeaways:

    • Every champion should have a deck where they're the best fit and their “dream” can be realized.
    • Non-champion cards should have at least one deck where they're a good option.
    • Regions should have at least one competitively viable deck.
    • The meta should support the widest possible array of competitively viable decks.
    • We should expect a new region within the year.

    Let's work as a community to make sure Riot is accountable to these items.

    Please do!

    "We don’t plan to refund cards we’re adjusting—our commitment is that any card a player obtains should remain viable despite changes" (or be quickly adjusted again if we miss the mark)

    Good to know

    Adding a second bit that got snipped out of the pull quote - "(or be quickly adjusted again if we miss the mark)"

    Point being that we definitely don't expect to get it right with every change, but will come back and make further adjustments when that's the case.
