I really don't understand it. I know I'm bronze and don't deserve to speak let alone have human rights. But what changed? Why do i feel like this season is so much more punishing than any other one? It's gotten to the point where I'm actually getting scared every time I que because I don't want to sink my team.
End of season 5. Teleport meta kept ADC's weak, due to constant threat of ganks from top/mid. Laning phase wasn't as big, since turrets took longer than a minion wave to kill, and people could afford to play weak early game champions. Vision meant that splitpushing was a viable choice in soloq, without getting 5 man ganked from the fog of war. The biggest complaint at the time was the prevalence of Jinx / Vayne.
Season 6. New masteries, so Warlords was OP for a time. Thunderlords. Fervor now. Leaving lane early means losing turret early, and games are typically decided in the first 10 minutes, baring any major misplays from the opposing team. Late game now constitutes having 3-4 items, and a single mistake from one person on either side determines the game. Lack of vision makes immobile picks a lot riskier, and splitpushing nearly impossible. Jinx and Vayne aren't seen in every game now at least. It's Ezreal / Lucian now.
nope it is indeed way more punishing, not only due to game mechanics but due to the fact that enemies everywhere are way more coordinated due to dynamic queue. You might be playing on a team of solos and duos vs. a team with a trio and a duo, which is a GIGANTIC advantage for the enemy team in terms of coordination and communication.
Well, lets start with the fact that this time if you didn't get up in the presseason you will end up 5 tiers behind no matter how many games you have won on your first 10.
Now the game is snowballs to the wall, use snowbally champs and win, turrets fall quickly, there is less sustain and you are unable to buy stealth wards, abuse this and you will get up quickly, It can get to the point where you can abuse something like

Well the soft reset does suck. But besides the overwhelming numbers of broken champs. But love the champs meta role and having a ton of fun
