This is the second time Gameplay has gone really ballistic because the state of the game sucks.
I'm not complaining. I don't like the state of the game either. Riot's balance team has been doing a poor job for a while now, and I really wish they'd own up to it. Kha'zix was above a 50% banrate in high elo for 5 months straight and somehow it took that long to fix him. Vladimir is now broken in 3 roles now and still hasn't been taken care of. The game state right now is like a gas blew up.
The last time people were this mad was the Ardent meta. That marks this being the second time a gas blew up at the hands of the same people as last time.
