^I haven't played this game for as long as you have (going on about a year and a half), but I still find the game fun. I agree with some of your points, though, and truthfully speaking I am starting to get less and less excited with each champion release. The only champion I have bought that was released this year was Diana and she was so broken on release that I didn't play her for long. The biggest problem is the overall problem Riot has had lately of balancing champs on release (our last few champ releases have seen everything from Zyra, who was so OP on release she had to be hotfixed, to Darius, who is not at all fun to play with/against, to Syndra who set a new standard for underpowered).

Still I find the game itself to still be very fun. Despite all the trolls, the ragers and the relative imbalance of some of the aspects of the game those moments when your skills are tested and your team pulls together to win makes it all worthwhile. League has a lot of room to grow and develop, but actually that part excites me most of all.
