Teemo is a really weird champion.
Can right click dominate some champions, others you pop him whenever you feel like once you get spectre's cowl and boots.
[Can't really buff his lane bully aspect to keep up w/ modern times as he scales so well w/ the lategame.](https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Teemo/)
Might have some trouble in teamfights, but does that matter when his shrooms are providing huge amounts of damage, control, and influence?

As you should.
Exploiting a mental condition/disorder such as addiction is a highly predatory and unethical act.
That game companies are using real money gambling mechanics in their games w/ no practical spending roof is a shameful act, especially as they encourage additional spending through timed exclusivity, obfuscation of amount spent, and other techniques.

Mages acting as supports would be fine if they hadn't buffed gold generation so hard, especially for supports.
The issue is that even if they aren't able to get any kills, they still scale well enough to be an effective secondary APC.

Riot is owned by Tencent, and Tencent has a great interest in capturing auto-chess for their home market.
The mode is also highly monetizable, unlike Nexus Blitz and Dominion.
Auto-chess has also been ported over to the phone market a couple of times already, a market Tencent has wanted League to be in for quite some time.
As someone who hates this new genre, I'd be surprised if TFT doesn't last at least 2 or 3 years before going into maintenance mode.

Admittedly, it is hilarious how one of the biggest games going-on several consecutive years, generating billions in revenue, has a client that would be unacceptable for even an actual smol indie company's debut multiplayer title.
@Rustles - Never bought a pass, was that point in-and-of-itself sarcastic?

Which is a pretty big change from their early days.
There was this Anivia 'guide' on YouTube where someone posted a video of them griefing a practice game, one or two of the guys teammates allegedly showed up and said that they hadn't reported him.
Despite this, the guy received one or two bans, and even had take down requests on his video (or was it DMCA'd?).
Not sure if that was the right thing to do, but it is surely much closer to it than just ignoring the problem when it is being done in ranked and is most definitely being reported constantly.

1st - You usually buy RP with a credit or debit card, which is less psychologically painful than using actual cash.
2nd - RP is funny money, it is hard to put actual value in it, giving a psychological disconnect between items and their costs.
3rd - Random chance (again) hides the expected chance and costs of getting the item(s) you are after.
4th - This all makes it rather hard to keep track of repeated RP purchases made in an attempt to get the item you want.
5th - These repeated purchases are further encouraged by degenerative patterns of thought such as Gambler's Fallacy. If I just rolled the dice a few dozen times and failed to get what I wanted, that must mean that if I roll them one more time I might get the thing I actually want!

I don't get it, you keep mixing lobby experience in w/ the actual game.
The old Battlefront II on console had an insanely poor online experience, does actually being playable online make Battlefront II the better game?
(bonus points because League took years to not have long periods of downtime at random intervals)
Role selection was a great improvement, but that's separate from the game.
Client's quality would be a joke even for a new developer's title that has a userbase of 400 unique players every day.
You talk about how competitive games can't have a vast array of viable builds and need optimal build paths, Dota's the most competitive /hardcore AoS around and you have several build options and niche picks on virtually every champion.
You praise new new champion designs when they're just overloading to the point where they make simpler designs obsolete.
I mean, just look at Zoe's W, that one ability could pretty much be an entire champion's kit by itself.
The whole previous season was just recent releases being broken, supposedly the pro scene is also dominated by recent champs and reworks.
The whole 'skill expression' design meme also negatively impacts players by heavily limiting their champion pool and usually just means "How many mechanics can we fit into each ability? ALEX, GET THE BETTING POOL STARTED, WE'RE GOING IN!."
Recent releases and reworks have been pushing "maybe 10 games to get them down" champion mastery curves to "oh yeah, 30 games before the learning lines stops being a cliff's face, let's go!"
And you're complaining about Sylas being forced because he can steal ults?

Bottom needs to rethink their build and pick.
