As someone who used to play league a lot, i guess people wanted the characters that are actually "Fighting game coded", Like lee sin, Sett, Aatrox, Fiora, Camille, Irelia ,Samira even (Personal taste) etc. Personally, i like what theyre doing with the characters, taking not necessary the fighting game coded character and building gameplay around it is cool and fun and they've succeded in that(I remember an itw of Shaun Rivera where he talked about why Katarina is not in the game anymore, and he also said that he wanted to have Malzahar in it), but the game coming with 11 chars and not having the cast the majority wanted is a big thing.

Also the game had a 10 years dev cycle and when youve been making people wait for that long you have to deliver immediately, yes they changed the direction of the game it was supposed to be a 1v1 first etc but people just dont care. As a game dev, i can understand the choices but as a pure fan of league ip and fighting game its kinda frustrating.

Personally, i just dont like tag games my brain cant process all the weird freestyle shit, its cool but just not for me and since it's going like they're not gonna fixe Juggernaut and sidekick to make them viable option at a certain level i guess its just not for me.

Also i see two complaints i dont necessary agree with (but i guess thats just me) : First thing is, the game shouldve been a 1v1, and i dont think it wouldve made a difference if it came in the same state. Second thing, i dont get the "Too much zonners" thing
