Can we all agree that Season 7 is just a joke/the worst?
I've just been seeing so many posts related to certain champs in the game or the game state in general that I've had to make a post sharing my thoughts.
First off, when I started League (which was season....4 i think? whenever Spirit Guard Udyr was the login screen) I was pretty amazed at the game. It was something new to me but more importantly it was still fun. At the same time, I felt I could play any champ that I wanted and still could feel like it could work for the team.
Fast forward to now and the game right now feels like a complete pile of shit. There are so many champs right now that abuse lethality (
are to name a few) that it makes it extremely unfun to play against them. On top of that, trying to ban most of these champs doesn't do any good since there are plenty more to choose from. Banned
? You still have
and many more to deal with if chosen!
Tanks are pretty much obsolete now since lethality + % armor pen shreds them down to ribbons, much like towers falling down to pretty much any champion now a days. Jungle still feels limited to a small pool of people who can still survive the new camps and layout, not to mention that it feels like any AP junglers are now dead.
Games are nearly decided in who takes first blood and tower thanks to the insane snowballing. Trying to defend feels pointless when the enemy has pushed you into your base 15 min in and you haven't even taken a single fucking tower of theirs. Certain champions that are released (
) and certain champions that are pretty much nerfed to one-track or are just non-playable (
) seriously is having me question what the fuck Riot's balance and design team are one when they do this shit! Also, WHY DID THEY THINK RELEASING AN ITEM LIKE
WOULD BE OK?!?! It grants a spell shield like
, except unlike it the cooldown continues to go after being damaged by champions instead of reseting, it grants lethality which lowers the armor of it's target AND grants MR, making this a nightmare for mages, and just...just.......
.....to just get to my main point: League sucks right now. Playing a game is a 50/50 chance that you'll stomp the enemy or they stomp you. There are no comebacks, no late game, and possibly the most unforgivable thing for me right now, there's no more fun. The charm that first caught me into League is either a dwindling flame or dead at this point.
"Oh but this patch they're nerfing lethality, damage creep, lowering FT gold, and we're getting the Galio rework soon and so much more. Riot can fi-" JUST STOP!!! The damage Riot has cause to me for how I view this game now is already done and still going. Yeah, they may be fixing lethality at the moment, but is it going to be enough? Edge of Night I guarantee (no Garen puns plz) is still going to be a problem balancing and might just be better to remove it. Certain champion reworks, like
who now has the killing power of an assassin but the durability of a bruiser, just don't always work or in other cases, like say my main
, they kinda work but they soon fall flat or just are outshined by another. New champions and reworks don't mean jack shit to me anymore if the balance of the game is fucked. And what is to say that Riot won't fuck up this hard again, if not even more, in later season?
The game just feels stale and dead at the moment for me and probably many other people. I'm currently taking a break from it right now, but honestly I'm considering of just dropping it like my friends did a long time ago and just go on to other games like Overwatch. At least there I know I can find fun again.
skin?
