This damage is ridiculous

alanjrsmith·1/28/2019, 9:53:18 AM·41 votes·15,535 views

Ive been playing since season 4 and this season the damage is way to high. I all i did was use my POINT AND CLICK Q and 1 auto attack and put him on 1% health. I dont even know how this acceptable. This game honestly dosent feel like league of legends anymore. Armour/magic resist is worthless unless the champions kit directly benefits from it. The champion pool now is so small its boring. Especially in ranked its the same champ over and over and over becuse everyone just abuses the high damage now. Support role is meaningless now. I see velkoz, xerath, yasuo etc going support and sharing gold and still coming out on top even i do this at times and i find its so easy to crap on a standard adc/support combo by just picking a bursty high damage champ as support. It feels like this game is no longer about outplaying the enemy team or warding properly. Turrents are garbage dragons are way to easy to take with many champions being able to 1 v 1 dragon and especially some junglers being able to 1 v 1 rift herald is insane. On rare occasions i even seen champions 1 v 1 baron nashor. how is that even acceptable its a buff for the whole team thats mean to be taken with the whole team or at least 3 people. This high damage meta is garbage and just ruins any thought into the game. Team fights are boring and stale as fuck now. Its literally just a spam fest of who gets all there abilities off first. Just look at old videos from previous seasons of league from lcs or youtubers you will see how much damage is in this game right now its insane. Even pros are complaining about it. Youtubers are streamers are and alot of people on the forums are but riot just wants to say fuck you and not listen to its dedicated fans who keep wanting them change it. The skill cap in this game has gone down so much it hurts to see the game like this i used to play this game so much but now its just the same champions over and over and over its so stale now. its almost always the same bans the same everything no one wants to deviate because its not fun picking a champion and getting 0-100 because you cant 0-100 back or you dont have a escape or any type of way to counter. Well thats my rant for the day.

The damage is ridiculous and it destroys the tactical and skill-based elements of League. Zerg-like tactics are actually becoming viable and it makes the game braindead.

Yeah, who cares that it was a fairly fed MF, an ADC known for burst damage, who had built an item known for improving burst damage, who used her two main burst abilities, including her ult, who procced her keystone, which is also oriented to give more burst, all against a squishy target, who would have goten away if MF hadn't used all that?

My was 6/2/6 Had 2 levels over jhin, and had 2 armor pen items. My also had to use all her abilities to pop in jhin.

Seriously I get damage is high in league but this is bbn just doctoring things to fit a narrative.

Look at everyone defending MF doing half his HP with a basic attack. Because she is 2 levels ahead. Being two levels ahead suddenly means my enemies can't play the game.

This is why this game won't improve.

Isn't this why you all wanted Trist nerfed back then?

Indeed, the dmg in league atm is out of control, I honestly think riot seriously needs to start tuning down AP and AD items

Damage is high but this video does a poor job of justifying that complaint.

MF is 2 levels ahead so she will do more damage to a squishier Jihn.
The was the first hit on Jihn so MF's passive activates and gives her something like 83% more AD on that one hit.
It looked like the Q crit. Q does another +100% damage if it crits
MF is building items that are meant to kill squishies

MF is getting all of this and doesn't 1 shot Jihn. She is ahead and punishes a behind Jihn for being out of position and then needs to ult to secure the kill.

This sounds very reasonable to me. If you're ahead and building items to kill X type of champion, you should be able to easily kill X type of champion.

The game is braindead now. It feel like I don't have to outplay or outsmart anybody. I just need to press buttons on the right target and oneshot.

A big problem is that they think "oh people are upset that adc die in like 2 seconds in team fights better buff their damage" adcs can DO damage the problem is that theyre so squishy they just simply cant live long enough to do it unless youre a annoying ass adc like Kaisa Lucian Vayne who are super annoying to deal with especially vayne with her recent buff those 3 adcs seem to shit on every single other adc becuase they are simply the best at what they do, adcs like Ashe Tristana Jinx cant do shit against them because they are just two strong early game with their mobility

another huge problem is of course lethality and pure burst shaco should not be able to get a free flash and 1 shot me assassin champs are bullshit because no matter what you will die to them, zed will ult you and thats it there is literally no point lethality as a whole should just be removed

when you bring up conquer and true damage people will always say how its nerfed but the concept of true damage is bullshit in my opinions, a yassou should not be able to do over 1700 damage to me while im full build full tank half the time to me true damage feels like random crits in tf2 i should not lose a skill match up simply because your champ can mow through my armor in 2 seconds with no items because of conquer

i also think its bullshit how mr and armor are practically useless most of the time i just end up building full ad on my tanks because if i dont blow them up they will blow me up i should be able to punish people who bring mages top lane because i built mr but it feels like i just go from dying in 2 seconds to dying in 3 and still doing no damage

im no pro but these are just my opinions, riot seems to have a problem where they try and find a middle ground and pussy foot around yas for example they wont nerf him because all the die hard yas mains would piss their pants so they change items and piss everyone off id rather have a small group of pissed off players instead of everyone being pissed off

ofcorse the damage is too high riot after fiora rework fucked up so much or even when devourer strikes but before things where great.

I just started 7-0 with a volibear with pure tank items and I was getting deleted in 2 sec flat in a fight. I mean my passive is useless in these situations. I'm telling you this is the worst fucking meta I've played since starting league 9 years ago. I truly do not enjoy this. why even have tank items at this point? Your game is in the gutters right now...

Lmao I've said this same thing for months and anytime you bring it up mage and adc mains cry about it because for some fucking reason they think they are duelists.

Hmm the bounced Q would"ve 100-0 him...lol

MF has access to too much front loaded damage.

Duskblade, Love Tap, Stormrazor (if she decides to build it)

Dark Harvest has been breaking MF ever since the rune was introduced to the game.

DeusVult1/28/2019, 7:22:42 PM2 votes

TBH i see nothing wrong here. You have a MF, who is 6/2/6 with 110 farm at 20 minutes. She has 2 and a half completed items, with all of those items being designed for 1 purpose; to kill squishy targets. MF herself is designed more than almost any other ADC to quickly kill squishy targets. She is running a keystone to, again, kill squishy targets.

Then Jhin, who has ~1260 HP at level 10, and no defensive items (at least if played competitively) strolls right into MFs kill zone when her duskblade and ult come off of CD. And even with all of that, it takes MF her main burst ability, burst item being off of CD, keystone, and ult to kill that target. Had that champ not been Jhin and instead been someone with an early armor item, say a Sion or Naut with sunfire + Tabis (which would be great against their team) and MF is going to have a hard time killing them

Holy, I just got triggered watching mf take that tower. Your w gives you atk speed and no extra escape benefits USE IT TO TAKE THE TOWER Sorry. But yes too much dmg

Did a game as twitch jg where I got fed and went around the map deleting the enemy caitlyn whenever she'd show anywhere. I'd drop memes like "You don't get to play the game" or "Caitlyn was out of position, she left fountain" but then her team actually started to bitch about her when game ended and she was 0/8/1. I told them she didnt do anything wrong, I didnt even get fed off her. But once I WAS fed literally anywhere she went I could kill her for free. ADC's are just weak in a burst meta, even if they themselves have burst, they lack the items or skillsets to give them any counterplay to it.

Except kaisa, because riot in their wisdom... at the same time they broke adc's created a adc that was literally tailored to this meta.

INoble KnightI1/29/2019, 4:42:31 AM2 votes

Yeah you pressed Q and right click. You also had a bunch of flat pen, dusk blade proc, the passive proc from MF, and then dark harvest proc. There was a lot of shit hitting at once. Not counting the ult.

Frog goes moo1/29/2019, 12:45:34 PM2 votes

The damage is high, but as I see it right now the jhin is two levels down. MF is building lethality and armor pen against a squishy ad. Also she has 11 dark harvest stacks at the time of his death. I also don't really know what items the jhin has at the moment of being one shotted like that, but I highly doubt he's building any health or armor, so I'm not really surprised.

Conclusion: I think damage should be lowered. but he should/would be dead anyways.

LOL lmao off at this thread.

bc his post is factual. too funny what this game is now.

it is now like party mode split-screen mario-partty joke of a game

which is fine, unless you are diamond + we all suck so lets just make it hilarious and fun. lets be real there never was any "strategy" until at least plat which was only ever like top 10% of players.

there's still strategy if ur good, you just have to factor in dmg now into that strategy

You're playing lethality MF, wtf did you expect to happen to a non tank that's 2 levels behind (and most likely items too) a ADC of all champs?

MorgManBasher1/30/2019, 3:30:51 AM1 votes

6/2 with dark harvest and lethality on MF. I see nothing wrong here, this is super normal.

That build is for bursting squishies and useless af against anything with any tankiness except when ulting.

F031/30/2019, 3:51:33 AM1 votes

you were 2 levels ahead and 6-2 vs the enemy adc

no shit you were going to do that much damage
