I can't play league of legends
This is a rant so don't expect anything less.
It's always the same bullshit. Champions that are clearly powerful don't get nerfed as much as they need to, champions that I enjoy playing get fucking gutted every 3 months.
First it was azir and riot said "hey pro players are doing well with him so he's too strong" and gutted him to one of the lowest winrates.
Then I moved onto kindred where I played her for a long time. Riot comes along and over nerfs her. I'm not saying she didn't need nerfs, but some of them were unnecessary, like some of the azir nerfs. Even pro players agreed some of the nerfs were too harsh.
Move on to akali and I have been playing her for half the year. She's the one champion that I found I can keep playing for hours without getting bored or needing to switch. I wouldn't say pre rework akali was the most balanced champion but there are significantly bigger problems in league than her. Pre rework she only had a 51% winrate. It wasn't insanely high or anything. On top of that, she's getting a full update in 2017. So what was the point in all these changes? I can't even burst adcs anymore. Shit like Caitlyn and vayne and twitch kill me mid dash because they do more damage than the entire assassin roster combined. Assassins are one of the few counters to them and khazix, rengar, leblanc, and katarina still get to one shot them. But for some reason akali one shotting them was different? It's especially frustrating considering that akali mains said we didn't want the changes.
Meanwhile champions like hecarim, who can still build trin force and cinder hulk and one shot someone in case you guys were wondering, or vi, who can do the same thing, aren't getting touched. Lee sin, who was pick or ban every game at worlds, gets the smallest nerf to his ultimate. I just got out of game as lee and you can build BC and Deaths dance for a garunteed r q one shot on anyone that isn't a tank. It feels like theres too many ridiculous champions that riot takes to long to do anything about. Cait shoving her traps under your tower, mf being a lane bully AND having a great late game. Or like in mid lane where syndra one shots you without landing any other ability as long as she has 2 qs out and presses r.
I would just deal with it usually but I can't. I put so much time into akali that I could fight her counters with great success. But now I can't even fight people I thought I countered. Lux takes half my health level 1 because of her giant aoe and an auto procing thunderlords. Zed, talon, and yasuo just rush hexdrinker and I lose lane instantly, even if I'm ahead. I can't even fight people I should hard counter because of the enemy tank jungler walking into my lane and outdamaging me. Why do tanks have 4000 health and burst squishies? Zac doesn't even need ap to one shot someone.
And lets talk about the few times I do win lane as akali. I still lose because I don't have the confidence or damage to burst adcs or other assassins. I can't even burst non-mobile adcs because they sit there and auto attack with 40% lifesteal when I come close to killing them thanks to warlords. Not to mention that anyone, and I mean anyone, can build an infinity edge and crit you for half your health bar if you're not a tank.
So lets say I win lane and didn't get camped by their jungler. I still lose because my team feeds their ass off. The amount of times I've seen my bot lane lose because they go in to the 3/0 adc that they already fed and keep feeding him is ridiculous. And as mentioned before, I can't burst adcs, much less a fed one. And I sure as fuck can't carry games anymore. The last game I carried was as ekko against an entire melee team in aram. It is impossible to carry on my best champion. I can barely tell the difference between when I'm fed or just even.
I've resorted to playing nothing but aram to grind ip for other champions. And even that's not fun most of the time because the enemy team always has an annie or veigar to instant burst my entire team. I don't know why It's not real all random yet.
The worst part of all of it is that I can't have confidence in my favorite champion. The champion I've put 100s of hours in is almost useless and I have lost a majority of the games I've played with her in the past two weeks. This game feels like it became unplayable.
