Returning Player | META questions.

So okay, for starters, looking at my recent games the last time I played was 9/12/2017, so I have been 6 months away and Pyke got me interested so now I'm learning him.

I can remember the game having set lanes with Top Fighter, Mid Mages and Assassins and Bot ADC Supp combo. Now that I've played 9 games I've only seen 3 ADC's in 2 games (Possibly miscalculated). For some reason the game feels a lot faster and snowbally. Champion pics feel like whatever and farming junglers feel a lot worse overall and missing a buff due to a steal at the start really throws you back more than ever.

I read the changes to IE and I was shattered. Why? It's the Iconic Edge, the one item that made me love ADC's. I liked the way lethality and crit adc were possible choices, but now only one feels useable, seeing how in 9 games mage or assassin was more used.

Also most of the new skins feel more like afterthoughts rather than fitting, but that's another conversation.

But my real question is, is this a new change that is experimental and goes away (Why not in pre-season though) or is this a new direction? Because if it's a new direction I don't know if I can enjoy my old casual fun league games anymore.

p.s Zoe's kit is busted/blaoted and doesn't even fit the aesthetic of the game imo
