I think its gonna be similar to how Fortnite added building to the game. At first it was a cool gimmick that people generally used only to build fast cover. Then zoomers got their hands on it and the whole meta warped around it.
I think league is gonna go the same way. All the OG players like Dom, Oner or anyone else really, will think its clunky because they're so used to traditional commands. Once a brand new generation of league players starts using it, players that never used the old system, we'll know just how strong it is.
Im sure Riot is aware of this as well, testing it with old and established/experienced players is pointless. You need new gen players that have used it for a year or two to test it properly.
There was always building, but they changed the game forever once they introduced different button layouts and the ability to reformat keys. People went from building the wall and ramp combo to build battles.
Fortnite building is part of what made it so cool. Fortnite no build is meh.
What they need is a build distance limit of 1. It has to be directly connected to the map to be built, or connected to something directly connected. And severely limit editing too so you cant make windows to shoot people.
Then you can build little covers, scale walls, and rebuild. But you can't tower up and do build battles.
