New whipstacking is exhausting

Suggestion

Let me know if you agree or disagree with this please. I need to vocalise this, because my assumption is that relogic made a mistake by catering to a vocal minority on the whip stacking issue. Personally, I would have preferred if whipstacking was reinstated as an unintended mechanic. As an intended mechanic, it is beginning to make me feel like playing as a summoner requires whip stacking. Some players like swapping weapons frequently, but personally I dont enjoy it. I think casual players would prefer a more streamlined setup, when minion mixing is already an option and you have to decide on your minions and your whips. Another big thing for me is hotbar space. The hotbar isnt just for weapons, just saying. I already dedicate 5 spaces in my hotbar (half of it) to weapons, but that is already not enough for the new maximum whip stack and more than one minion type.

I love whipstacking as a fun way for some of our "lean forward in chair for combat" members of of the community, but as an essential part of the tool kit it feels like a gateway that stands in the way of casual play.

Please refrain from the "if you dont like it, dont use it" comments. Proper balance makes games great.
