How about being fucking honest with everyone and just letting everyone view the comment. Please point out where I called out any PARTICULAR person:
"I GET that true balance work can be challenging. Granted it doesn't help when some moron thought throwing in like 20 extra uncalled variables into the game was a good idea because it wasn't hard enough. What's utterly %%%%%%ED on their part is how they continue to INCREASE damage throughout the game when we should be working our way to slowing down the pace of the game so that whatever modicum of strategy is left in the game will be worth mentioning again without every teamfight looking like a damn fighting game with 100 effects going all over the place,
Why did you buff ?
Why haven't you seriously addressed and when everyone and their mother across every elo agrees how absurdly powerful they are?
Why did you buff dragon values? It makes the choice of choosing a lane to gank so brain dead easy in most cases because shutting down bot lane is worth the game because you lock out their damage carry AND secure the dragon, which almost anybody can solo for some reason.
You buff tower damage a wee bit, great, though would be nice to see some buffs to inner, inhib, and nexus turrets. But why the HELL haven't you recovered some of its resistances? Laning phase increased by like 2 minutes tops, but towers still melt like butter. The gold plating is another counter intuitive incentive you're introduced to sitting on bot lane. So much strategy!!
What the FUCK were those Dark Harvest buffs????
I play a lot of bot lane. I'm not asking to increase marksmen damage; it doesn't mean jack s** when you get nuked in 0.6 seconds anyway unless you've got the team huddled around you constantly because otherwise in solo queue, you're put in positions where you can hardly farm safely otherwise. It'd be nice if you brought back green wards. One control ward is far from enough; green trinket cooldown is too long, and scrying gets taken out very quickly since it offers a very obvious visual of someone warding ~1500 units around you. What I AM asking for is making lifesteal a worthwhile investment again. What good is it when I can be at full health and be lucky to get in 1-2 autos before blowing up? this cancer needs to go. Because it enables even assassins who are very behind to kill you. 0/3/1 Zed vs 4/0 marksman? Unless that marksman has a shielding support with it at all times (unlikely,) that'll be a very quick "fight." Hell, there aren't nearly as many real fights lasting from 8-15 seconds as there used to be. The backline gets popped in one of like 20 different ways.
You think ADCs used to 1-shot? Try today's fighters/juggernauts. Holy s* nowadays they have EVERYTHING they need in either their kit or itemization. Look at ; he's not the Best top-laner, but the fact that he can build straight damage and withstand a big skirmish without taking too much damage is absurd. can dash halfway across a lane for what, 70 mana? God that's such a joke! You'd think a powerful mobility + damage ability like that would cost a lot more. I don't ever recall seeing top laners run into mana issues. In fact, that goes for a lot of the newer champs these days. There's no real RISK. can mindlessly spam their spells from either safe range or have a rapid escape option available after "poking" for like 1/5 of someone's health. One mana item and they're good to go for the rest of the game unless they spam the shit out of their spells. Back in my season 3 days, you had to be a lot more careful with using your mana, for any champ. Most of my games are decided by the team with the better top laner/jungler these days.
There's a lot of issues with the game but the common theme surrounding a real fix would be to slow the pacing down further, which is the complete opposite of what is being accomplished. Riot is backtracking completely, taking us for idiots. They improve things temporarily only to re-gut everything back to the state it was before. All they have to do is distract players with stupid pajama party skins. Jesus Christ."
Tell me how this is any different from any other thread.
