Anyone else not enjoying this patch

Quite simply put current games are snowballing out of control sub 15 minutes. Any mid to late game champs are irrelevant at this point. In addition, this new patch has almost eliminated the adc role which is instead being played by bruisers. I personally don't find it fun winning or losing when games are decided within the first 10 minutes. I truly enjoy playing league but the current state of the game I don't find to be fun. Every game feels scripted....winning bot lane takes turret gets first brick gold then rotates to take herald takes another turret and the snowball is too far gone for the opposing team to have any counter play. Add in the nerfs to baron and the snowballing team takes baron at 20 minutes and there is little to no chance for losing teams to make any type of comeback. I'm not claiming to have any great solutions just seeing what the community thinks, I personally don't find the current state of the game fun winning or losing at this point.

When mid game comes around the game literally just consists of running around trying to one shot the first person you see.

Like cmon riot, do you really think this is fun?

Instead of keeping a strategic and pretty indepth game that is FUN you have given us a clown fiesta made to give quick thrills.

The way the game was before the marksman changes was much more balanced, despite what everyone says. ADCs did too much damage, sure, but a nerf to IE and Zeal items would've fixed it. Assassins can snowball games mid and jungle, but careful play and warding allowed for mages to make it through landing phase and extend the game to scale. Bruisers were doing well again with the addition of Conqueror, and tanks, bruisers, and assassins were all viable in the jungle. Bot lane marksmen diversity was balanced, and any champ could scale through late game(Vayne, Tristana) or pressure early (MF, Draven). Supports ranged from tanks to enchanters to mages. Now, you can only play bruisers or poke champs top. Assassins snowball too easily and roam to other lanes. High base damage champs took over the jungle. Marksmen are being pushed out of lane by high base damage mages and bruisers, not even getting a chance to scale. They take longer to scale, do less damage full build, and are still the easiest characters in the game to one-shot. The average game time has gone down significantly. It's no longer a game where playing your cards right can get your results, whether it's timed ganks to snowball or safe play to scale up. If you can't hold your own early, you lose. The game is in an extremely unhealthy place right now, and I hope Riot addresses everything soon.

Its True finally people who agree with me that this patch ruined a lot the meta i'd comeback to where the botlane decide the game that time was fine but with these broken new items idk what's really wrong with this patch but i feel the new infinity edge is lame ( yasuo unique passive) Essence reaver should be useful to lucian but Renekton and yi makes them so broken nocturne ult should be nerfed its op many things should change around or maybe revert the adc changes i'm not an adc main but i believe league was fine before the jungle and botlane changes
