I hate that they release new champions so often. My incentive to play is climbing the ranked ladder and, like you, I play in bursts separated by months, but each time I start playing again there are like 5 new champions whose abilities I don't know or understand, which keeps me at a disadvantaged position. I don't have time to study all the new champs abilities. I think their high champion-release rate drives the casual, but competitive-minded players away.
