What is this game even anymore?

So apparently skill isn't supposed to matter anymore in this game. Abuse what is completely busted and broken or lose the game. I firstblood jayce, bad player tps back to lane gets instantly killed by me again. Usually lane is over for him oh wait after 3 minutes he finally managed to get 1100 gold for serrated dirk and now he half healths me through my shield with one melee Q auto E. Nice fucking balance we have there guys. I even took 5 armor from resolve and atleast had a cloth armor. All he had was a serrated dirk and another long sword. What is this even? I have no words anymore. From the current shitshow that this so called balance team created to this scam matchmaking i wonder why boards are full of mean people only complaining. Just play something lethality and you win stop complaining, the game is balanced. You just shouldn't think that skill matters and pick the current most broken adc or play something with lethality. Balance. It is so easy. Then i can already foresee the comments how i should not have bought tiamat but go defensive my question here is why then a ranged champ gets away with being so inherently tanky that he only needs 1100 gold and no defensives that he wins in melee range against a melee fighter :thinking: So the balance of the game is that even when winning i need to buy defensive just to not die against some overpowered shit but then being unable to kill said overpowered shit because i didn't buy any fucking damage and somehow 1100 gold is allowed to be such an absurdely broken powerspike that it literally doesn't matter what you do. Got it. I always thought melee fighters are kinda supposed to be more tankish to compensate for the fact that they are melee but seems like i've been wrong, ranged just goes dmg and dmg and is unkillable even in melee range and melees idk just need to look good. Next time i see jayce i just pick maokai, buy tabis and rightclick him to death. Balance guys.

The powerlevel difference between champs and items is so absurd i'm not sure if this is even repairable. This btw goes beyond stats like winrate or pickrate. Just the sheer powerlevel inbetween champs and their items they buy is so heavily imbalanced.

Atleast yasuo is back to 20% pickrate and mains get their "promised" winrate. (nah couldnt give a shit about yasuo it's just i wish riot would start to actually balance the fucking game on a deeper level than guaranteeing a few champs to never fall below a certain treshhold-->crit itemization is broken too).

PS: Yes this is a pure rant thread i don't give a shit anymore it's just so sad and frustrating to see a game you've loved and always played for seven years to turn into this whatever it is right now with no end to it in sight. I legit don't enjoy playing assassin kayn WQ auto oneshotting everyone under 2k health and 100 armor but apparently as long as trinity exists my champs are supposed to be garbage despite it not being a meaningful powerspike anymore what soever when one serrated dirk just completely outclasses everything i can buy.

LoL is the same game it always was, its just a bunch of buttholes running around playing whatever champ is godtier, and then a bunch of people playing their fav champs and getting stomped because their fav champ isn't in some god tier metaslot this season.

Yasuo is not top tier (best ranked 17 out of 56 toplaner in Bronze only) with about 50% winrate. If a lot of gamers enjoy to play him - so what? Playing a game is about fun and if it is fun for them it is good this way and Riot does a good job.

Rest of your arguments seem subjective also. You can be ahead af vs for example a Twitch botlane. Not rare you will meet him later on and he will 1-shot you. There are a lot of examples.

It is not enough to have 1 kill and then be the hero on the lane forever because you have 350 gold more. My understanding about what "skill" is about differs a bit.
