You know what I think would great for the first patch of Pre-Season 9?

A nerf. A HUGE nerf.

But a nerf to what you would say? Everyone, without any exception.

We are at a point in the game that everyone from every group of champion deals way too much damage and this point has been discussed a lot in the community and I feel like the majority agrees. But the main problem isn't this, since Riot COULD nerf it instantly if it was the case, but they actually CAN'T, why?

Because...

If Riot nerfs damage from Assassin, they will complain that they can't fight ADCs like they are supposed to

If Riot nerfs damage from ADCs, they will complain that they can't fight tanks like they are supposed to

If Riot nerfs damage from Tanks, they will complain that they can't lane against Bruisers

If Riot nerfs damage from Bruisers, they will complain they can't fight anyone

If Riot nerfs damage from Mages, they will complain they can't lane or deal with any Assassin

Those are just some scenarios amongst thousands of others.

You see, Riot can't nerf nor buff any group when compaired to another one, because every single group of mains will complain about either getting their domination taken from them, or seeing another group getting stronger. Even if assassins dominate the game, they'll claim that it isn't the case and will get mad whenever this power of theirs gets taken away. Back some time ago with the ADC changes, marksmans were also dominating the game without any exception and yet they complained when this was removed, resulting in them getting constantly buffed ever since. And since ADCs are getting buffed again, assassins will always want their part too and will ask for more power, just like with what happened recently with . Bruisers were useless for about over a year until the ADC changes, and everyone complained when they saw them back in the Meta. Pre-Season toplane was dominated by Tanks and when this got changed, they also complained.

This is a MASSIVE vicious circle that we need to break in a drastic way, AKA a pre-season since this is the only time where this is allowed. By nerfing everyone at the same time, we can bring back every role at what they are supposed to do, instead of this meta entirely focusing on burst damage and nothing else. Everyone should be on an even ground once again, we can't go on with this nerf/buff cycle since it litterally became a whack-a-mole game: Whenever you smash a head (nerf) another one will pop out and needs to be smashed too, repeating until the first head comes back even stronger.

Let's just all agree that this needs to be stopped, even in an extreme way.
