User blog comment:Dawoud621/Jhin and Riot trying too hard/@comment-24950751-20160113150201

If you ask me, I would say that Riot introducing new champions is a major way to keep the game fresh. No one would want to play a game that is fun to play at first but doesn't change much over the years and eventually become lackluster and get left in the dust a few years later by new and better alternatives.

From my point of view, new champions, along with their incredibly-fancy-yet-totally-unnecessarily-complicated mechanisms, is kind of a.. technique that Riot uses to gather refreshed attention from experienced players and simply dazzle and attract new players. Ults that troll your teammates? A shotgun? Roaming the map with double MS? No AS scaling? All these new things just make people, well at least me, to feel that at least there is still something out there to expect from Riots. And that is probably what Riot is trying (too hard) to do.
